Force FX™ Electrosurgical Generator with Instant Response™ Technology
UNIQUE FEATURES OF THE FORCE FX™
ELECTROSURGICAL GENERATOR
• Instant Response™ technology ensures that the
power delivered remains virtually constant,
regardless of the tissue type
• Improved performance at lower power settings
minimizes the risk of tissue damage and
neuromuscular stimulation
• Tree internal microcontrollers reduce system
reaction time and increase the system’s processing
speed
• Spray coagulation voltage of no more than 9000
volts peak-to-peak output for broad,
but superfcial coagulation with limited capacitive
coupling
• A Power Efciency Rating (PER) of approximately
98 for accurate and consistent cut performance
• Tree cut modes, all controlled by Instant
Response™ technology, ofer surgeons a variety of
choices
– Low Cut for delicate tissue or laparoscopic
cases
– Pure Cut for a clean, precise cut
– Blend for cutting with hemostasis
• Four coag modes
• Desiccate for low voltage contact coagulation
suitable in laparoscopic and delicate tissue
work
• Fulgurate (high crest factor) for efcient
noncontact coagulation in most applications
• Fulgurate (low crest factor) for lower voltage
coagulation requirements
• Spray for coagulating large tissue areas with
superfcial depth of necrosis
• Tree bipolar modes
• Precise, Standard, and Macrobipolar are
controlled by the Instant Response™ system
• Precise and Standard settings utilize low
voltage to prevent sparking
• Versatile system that is uniquely compatible with
other devices, including:
• Force Argon™ II and Force GSU™ argon
coagulation system
• CUSA EXcel™ and CUSA™ 200 ultrasonic
surgical aspirators
• OptiMumm™ smoke evacuator, through a
direct cable link
• Valleylab VLCM bipolar current monitor
• Compatible with and used as the electrosurgical
energy source for:
• Dyonics* Control RF arthroscopic ablation
system
• Dyonics* Electroblade™ rotary resection
system
• Cook Vascular Perfecta™ EDS pacemaker
lead extraction system
• Compatible with, and the exclusive electrosurgical
generator for, the Computer Motion
Hermes™ Voice Command System
ELECTROSURGICAL GENERATORS
What is Instant Response™ Technology?
Instant Response™ technology features an advanced feedback system that recognizes changes in tissue 200 times per second, and adjustsvoltage and current accordingly to maintain appropriate power. This unique capability differentiates Instant Response™ generators from any other, as shown by their high power efficiency rating (PER). That’s smart™ generator technology.
PER indicates the ability of a generator to accurately deliver the selected power into a wide range of tissue types. With a PER of 98, the Force FX™ generator provides a consistent surgical effect and has a higher PER than any other electrosurgical generator.*
Instant Response™ technology provides consistent power through different tissue types.
The Force FX™ generator provides surgeons with the advantage of accurately delivering the selected power setting, even through resistant tissue. The power curve below illustrates the Force FX™ generator’s consistent output.
When a conventional generator encounters tissue changes, both power delivery and cutting efficiency are reduced. This means that higher power settings are required in order to cut through all types of tissue. With higher power settings, more energy is delivered, and tissue damage increases.
