New Genii generator cleared for electrosurgical endoscopy

Genii of St. Paul, Minn., has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA to market a new electrosurgery generator for use in endoscopy.

The company stated in a release that its compact gi4000 model incorporates patented technology using argon gas. It added that the product will enable standardization of electrosurgical units, something that has eluded the flexible endoscopy market.

The privately held company was founded in 2007 and launched its first product in 2011.
