The Valleylab Force 40
Generator
The new world standard in high performance.
The Force 40 electrosurgical
generator establishes a new
world standard in advanced
performance and operator
convenience for today's most
demanding surgical procedures, from
cardiothoracic and urologic to ablative
cancer surgery.
The microprocessor- controlled Force 40 provides more consistent performance over a wide range of tissue impedances. Along with greatly enhanced "user-friendly" features, the Force 40 offers an advanced level of patient safety--such as dosage error control and patented REM™ contact quality monitoring.
State-of-the-art
performance
Pure and
blended cut modes
Offer the surgeon
varying levels of hemostasis.
Three coagulation
modalities
Provide enhanced surgical flexibility. The desiccation mode facilitates contact
coagulation for precise control of individual bleeders. The fulguration mode
(spray coag at 6.0 crest factor) is designed to provide effective, non-contact
coagulation. The highly efficient spray coagulation mode (spray coag at 8.5
crest factor) delivers a broader, more superficial coagulation pattern.
Standard and precise
bipolar modes
Facilitate controlled desiccation without charring, adhesion, and blanching
of adjacent tissues.
Simultaneous
independently activated fulguration
Allows two surgeons to fulgurate simultaneously from a single generator.
Exclusive operating
convenience
Flat front
panel design
Adapts to ceiling- or cart-mounted applications, providing easy access to
controls and visibility of LED displays.
Preprogrammed
self-diagnostics
Perform a thorough system self-test when the generator is switched on. If a
system fault is detected, an error code is displayed to assist the operator in
correcting the condition.
Automatic reset mode
Conveniently restores generator power settings to preset values when the
system self-test is completed.
Remote power control
Permits the surgeon to control cut and coag power settings from the sterile
field for rapid response to changing surgical conditions.
Handswitching or
footswitching control
Accommodates the surgeon's preference.
Advanced safety
features
Dosage error control
Disables the generator when measured output exceeds the specified power
range to prevent delivery of higher than desired power levels.
Autoranging REM™ System
Registers patient impedance at the
return electrode site and disables the
generator if the impedance level rises
above the specified range, indicating a
fault condition. When a Valleylab REM
patient return electrode and REM
generator are used together, the system
virtually eliminates the risk of bums
under the return electrode.
This system is backed by Valleylab's REM Hold Harmless Guarantee, indemnifying the facility, surgeon, and staff from liability for return electrode site bums.
Isolated output design
Directs current return to the generator,
reducing the risk of alternate site hums.
Independent activation of
accessories
Is designed to activate accessories only when keyed, to reduce the potential
for inadvertent activation.
