Description

Label reads in part "***GYNEX*** Electrode Handpiece, Foot Activated*** Manufactured for GYNEX***" Gynex catalog number: 950 (Gynex REF 950, Electrode Handpiece) It connects the electrode to the food activated electric generator. Electrodes are used in gynecological procedures, in a physician's office, for cutting to remove tissue and coagulation to control bleeding by the use of high frequency current.
The wrong electrical connector pin was attached to the cord during assembly by the manufacturer. this electrical connector is too big to fit into the port on the foot activated generator. this makes the device unusable.
