It features a user-friendly interface with three touchscreens that allow the user to control the system's functions.

  • TissueFect sensing technology to precisely manage energy delivery.
  • Enhanced LigaSure tissue fusion technology that fuses vessels up to 7mm, lymphatics, pulmonary vasculature, and tissue bundles.
  • alleyLab mode that provides a unique combination of monopolar hemostasis and dissection.
  • Automatic instrument recognition.
  • Compatible with conventional electrosurgical instruments and all current and new LigaSure instruments.

REM Contact Quality Monitor

  • Interrogation frequency: 80 kHz ± 10 kHz
  • Interrogation current: < 100μA
  • Interrogation voltage: < 12V RMS

Acceptable Resistance Range

  • REM resistance measurements are ± 10% during RF activation and ± 5% when RF output is not activated.
  • REM patient return electrode: 5 to 135 ohms or up to a 40% increase in the initial measured contact resistance (whichever is less).
  • If the measured resistance is outside the acceptable range(s) noted above, a REM fault condition occurs.

REM Alarm Activation

  • REM patient return electrode: When the measured resistance exceeds the standard range of safe resistance (below 5 ohms or above 135 ohms) or when the initially measured contact resistance increases by 40% (whichever is less), the REM alarm indicator enlarges and flashes red and yellow, a tone sounds twice, and RF output is disabled. The indicator remains illuminated red and yellow until you correct the condition causing the alarm. Then, the indicator illuminates green and RF output is enabled.

Autobipolar

  • The ForceTriad energy platform is equipped with an autobipolar feature that allows for the automatic activation of bipolar energy.
  • Note: The autobipolar electrode function requires the use of the Valleylab E0018 bipolar Instrument cord.
  • Autobipolar Specificaitons:
    • Interrogation frequency: 80 kHz ± 10 kHz.
    • Interrogation current: < 100 μA.
    • Activation impedance: 20 Ω to 500.
    • Deactivation impedance: User selectable: 1,500 Ω 1,800 Ω or 2,200 Ω.
    • Measurement accuracy: ± 14% of Full Scale activation impedance while keying active above 10 watts.
    • + 50%, -14% of full-scale activation impedance while keying active at 10 watts or below.
    • ± 5% of Full-Scale activation impedance while keying inactive.
    • Keying delay: User selectable in 500 msec increments from 0 sec to 2.5 sec

Duty Cycle

  • Under maximum power settings and rated load conditions, the ForceTriad energy platform is capable of operating a duty cycle of 25% defined as 10 seconds active and 30 seconds inactive, in any mode for a period of 4 hours.
  • Caution
    • Use of duty cycles greater than 25% (10 seconds active followed by 30 seconds inactive) will increase the risk that heat build-up under a return electrode may be high enough to injure the patient. Do not continuously activate for longer than one minute.

More Information on the Medtronic Force Triad

The ForceTriad Energy Platform is designed to provide RF energy for monopolar and bipolar applications and tissue-fusion applications. It features three touchscreen user interfaces and has the ability to automatically detect handsets and configure the energy platform accordingly.

System Conventions:

Touchscreens

The ForceTriad Energy Platform features a user-friendly interface with three touchscreens that allow the user to control system functions. The active touchscreen or touchscreens will illuminate, and the unavailable touchscreens will dim.

Power Modes

As a safety feature, the simultaneous activation of multiple instruments is not possible on the Medtronic ForceTriad Energy Platform.

Monopolar Modes

The system produces five modes of monopolar power output.

Cut Modes

Pure cut provides a clean, precise cut in any tissue with little or no hemostasis.

Blend cut is a conventional blended waveform that provides slower cutting with simultaneous hemostasis.

Services on the Force Triad

Valleylab mode is a unique combination of hemostasis and dissection that allows the user to slow down for more hemostasis and speed up for faster dissection. The thermal spread is equal to or less than cut or blend modes.

Coag Modes

Fulgurate coagulates tissue by sparking from the active electrode, through the air, to the patient tissue.

Spray delivers wider fulguration; penetration is shallower and the affected tissue area is larger than with the Fulgurate mode.

Bipolar Modes

Three bipolar modes are available:

Low delivers precision and fine control over the amount of desiccation. Standard is a conventional bipolar output at low voltage. Macro (microbipolar) may be used for bipolar cutting or rapid coagulation. Power remains constant over a wide range of tissue types.

Autobipolar

The auto bipolar feature senses tissue impedance between the two bipolar electrodes then uses the impedance information to automatically start or stop bipolar RF energy delivery. Optionally, the user may choose between footswitch start and auto start, or program a delay between auto-start and RF activation.

Refurbished Force Triad Electrosurgical Units

Soma Tech Intl offers refurbished Covidien Valleylab Force Triad electrosurgical units up to 50% below OEM prices with the same service and warranty as new. The refurbished ForceTriads are both technically and cosmetically refurbished back to their original engineering manufacturer specifications. The Medtronic ESUs get technically refurbished by fully trained, skilled, and certified in-house biomedical engineers. Every part of these electrosurgical units are tested to make sure they are working properly and the necessary parts are replaced. Once everything is working the way it should, the Valleylab gets calibrated and dialed into the same specifications it had when it originally left the manufacturer. Once the ESU is working like new, it undergoes a special cosmetic restoration process where the unit is cleaned and minor scrapes and dents are repaired. This entire technical and cosmetic restoration process not only ensures the product functions like new, but it also looks new too. If you or your medical facility are interested in purchasing a Covidien Valleylab be sure to contact our dedicated sales team at [email protected] or call 1-800-GET-SOMA.
