Medtronic Covidien Valleylab Force TRIAD

Medtronic Covidien Valleylab Force TRIAD

Electrosurgical Unit

Force Triad Features:

TissueFect sensing technology is a Medtronic Covidien Valleylab Force TRIAD control system designed to precisely manage energy delivery, creating a range of options for desired tissue effect. Enhanced LigaSure tissue fusion technology permanently fuses vessels up to and including 7mm, lymphatics, tissue bundles, and pulmonary vasculature. All-in-one unit is compatible with conventional electrosurgical instruments and all current and new LigaSure instruments.

Activation Tone
The audio levels stated below are for activation tones (cut, Valleylab, coag, bipolar, and LigaSure Modes) and alarm tones (REM and system alarms) at a distance of one meter.
Volume and Frequency
Volume (adjustable): 45 to 65 dBA
Frequency Cut: -660 Hz
Valleylab: 800 Hz.
Coag: 940 Hz.
Bipolar: 940 Hz.
LigaSure: 440 Hz.
Duration: Continuous while the system is activated.

Alarm Tone
Volume (adjustable): >65 dBA.
Frequency: -REM: 660 Hz.
Regrassp: Two tones: High= 985 Hz, Low = 780 Hz.
Seal Complete: 985 Hz.
Error/System Alert: Beep tone = 1400 Hz.

Duration:
REM: Two 1/2 second tones separated by 1/2 second for each REM event
Reactivate/Regrassp: Four 175 msec tones-high, low, high–low separated by 1/2 second.
Check Instrument: Six 175 msec tones – high, low, high low, high, low -Seal Complete: Two 175 msec tones separated by 175 msec for each Seal Complete event.
Error/System Alert: Two 1/2 second tones separated by 1/2 second for each Error/ System Alert event.

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 (which ever 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 initial 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 auto-bipolar feature that allows for 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 toinjure the patient. Do not continuously activate for longer than one minute.
