Connect a monopolar instrument to the Monopolar 1 or Monopolar 2 instrument
receptacle on the front of the energy platform.
If a two-button instrument is connected to the energy platform, proceed to the
Standard Monopolar Mode Functionality
section below.
If a Valleylab mode enabled three-button instrument is connected to the energy
platform, proceed to the
Valleylab Mode Functionality
section below.
Note:
The Monopolar 1 and Monopolar 2 touchscreens can each control only one
instrument at one time. If more than one instrument is attached under one
touchscreen, the error message pictured below will display in the
touchscreen. Both devices will be inactivated until one of the devices is
removed.
Standard Monopolar Mode Functionality
When a two-button electrosurgical instrument is attached to either the Monopolar 1 or
Monopolar 2 receptacle, the ForceTriad energy platform detects the instrument type
and displays the Standard Monopolar tab on the touchscreen. The Standard
Monopolar tab allows the user to control the power mode and power output level at
the energy platform interface.

Select the power output mode waveform by pressing the associated button at
the bottom of the tab. The waveforms available in the cut mode are Pure and
Blend. In the coag mode, the waveforms available are Fulgurate or Spray.
2.
Set the power to the desired output level by pressing either the green up or
down arrows. Power output is displayed in watts.
