Medtronic Valleylab FT10 Energy Platform

More Medtronic Covidien Valleylab FT10 Information

Uses

The Valleylab FT10 is a high frequency electrosurgical generator intended for use with monopolar and bipolar accessories for cutting and coagulating tissue. When used with compatible sealing devices, it is indicated for sealing vessels up to and including 7 mm, tissue bundles, and lymphatics. The generator can also be used with compatible resectoscopes for endoscopically controlled removal or coagulation of tissue using 0.9% NaCl solution as the irrigation medium.

The tissue fusion function has not been shown to be effective for tubal sterilization or tubal coagulation for sterilization procedures. Do not use this function for these procedures.

Periodic Safety Checks

Preform the following safety check once a year, or as directed in your service manual for the FT10 to verify that the energy system is functioning properly. Refer to your service manual for more detailed instructions on how to preform these saftey checks.

• Inspect the system and accessories
• Inspect the internal components (when required)
• System self-test
• Verify the audio
• Verify the power output
• Verify REM function
• Verify cross coupling
• Check leakage current and ground resistance

Cleaning the Medtronic FT10

Before cleaning or servicing the unit, disconnect the power plug from the power outlet in order to completely isolate the generator from mains power. NOTICE: Do not clean the energy platform with abrasive cleaning or disinfectant compounds, solvents, or other materials that could scratch the panels or damage the energy platform. Do not spay cleaning Fluids directly on the generator as damage to the generator may occur.

• Turn of the system and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet
• Thoroughly wipe all surfaces of the energy platform and power cord with a damp cloth and mild cleaning solution or disinfectant. The energy platform will withstand the effects of cleaning over time without degrading the enclosure or display quality.
