Can you sell a used electrosurgical unit on eBay?
82% of the FDA's device records of this type are prescription-only, and eBay doesn't allow prescription devices.
eBay doesn't allow any medical device that requires a prescription. Whether a particular electrosurgical unit does depends on how its maker registered it with the FDA, and that is printed on the device: look for "Rx only" or "Caution: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician" on the label.
