By Lisa Kerner

Charlotte, N.C., July 12 - Bovie Medical Corp. said it filed a 510(K) application with the Food and Drug Administration for its GI ICON device, an electrosurgical product for the gastroenterological market.

The GI ICON includes a touch screen interface, physician preference database, neutral electrode monitoring, and common sense messaging.

"We are poised to enter a growing GI market where statistics indicate that the number of colonoscopies performed in the United States is increasing at a dramatic rate," president Andrew Makrides said in a company news release.

In addition to the FDA filing, the company announced it is expecting to report in August that its second quarter was the highest revenue quarter in Bovie's history.

Bovie, located in Melville, N.Y., manufactures and markets electrosurgical products.
