Valleylab – Force FX
The Force FX is a Digital Electrosurgical Unit. The Force FXc is a High Power Digital Electrosurgical Unit. Both generators feature computer controlled Instant Response Technology designed to ensure a consistent clinical effect through all tissue types. You can use handset or footswitch controls to activate the generator. Receptacles are marked to ensure the correct connection of accessories. Indicators alert you when the generator is activated. The Force FX™ allows you to adjust the activation tone volume and reset the mode and power settings used previously. The Force FX™ can be used in conjunction with the Valleylab Force GSU System and the Valleylab Electroshield Monitor. Refer to the manuals provided with these products for more information.

Output Waveforms
Bipolar
Precise: 470 kHz sinusoid
Standard: 470 kHz sinusoid
Macro: 470 kHz sinusoid
Monopolar Cut
Low: 390 kHz sinusoid.
Similar to the Pure Cut mode except the maximum voltage is limited to a lower value. Pure: 390 kHz sinusoid Blend: 390 kHz bursts of sinusoid, recurring at 27 kHz intervals. 50% duty cycle envelope. Monopolar Coag Desiccate: 240 kHz sinusoid repeated at 39 kHz. 8% duty cycle. Fulgurate: 390 kHz damped sinusoid bursts with a repetition frequency of 30 or 57 kHz into 500 ohms Spray: 390 kHz damped sinusoidal bursts with a randomized repetition centered at 28 kHz. Frequencies include 21 kHz Output power changes by less than 15% or 5 watts, whichever is greater, as the line voltage varies from 104-132 volts and 208- 264 volts (at rated load).
Low Frequency Leakage (50-60 Hz); source current, patient leads, all outputs tied together
Normal polarity, intact chassis ground: <10 µA Normal polarity, ground open: < 50 µA Reverse polarity, ground open: < 50 µA Sink current, 140V applied, all inputs: < 50 µA
REM™ Contact Quality Monitoring System
Measurement Frequency: 80 kHz ± 10 kHz Measurement Current: Less than 10 µA Acceptable Resistance Ranges: REM™ pad – 5-135 ohms Non-REM™ pad – less than 20 ohms Acceptance range is 5-135 ohms after REM PolyHesive II return electrode is applied.
Adaptive REM™
REM™ trip is baseline impedance plus 40%. For example, if the baseline impedance is 30 ohms, the upper level trip approximately 42 ohms.
If the pad-patient impedance falls below the baseline impedance, a new baseline is established.
High Frequency Leakage
Bipolar: Less than 60 mA (rms)
Monopolar: Less than 150 mA (rms)
