Electrosurgical system generator (An electrically-powered component of a electrosurgical system intended to generate radio-frequency (RF) electrical current for subsequent cutting and coagulation of soft tissues during an endoscopic or open surgical procedure; it is not dedicated to focal ablation of specific tissues (i.e., not a radio-frequency ablation system generator). It includes controls, may include an integrated surgical plume (smoke) suction unit, and is intended to be connected via a cable to an electrosurgical handpiece and electrode (neither of these are included); it is not intended for inert gas-enhanced electrosurgery.)
