Valleylab Mode Functionality
Valleylab instruments featuring the Valleylab mode are specialty devices that
enable the surgeon to control ForceTriad energy platform output from the sterile
field.
Three output modes are selected at the handset with the following buttons:
•
The yellow cut button enables a cutting function.
•
The clear Valleylab button enables a hemostasis function while providing
dissection.
•
The blue coag button enables a coagulation function.
A dual slider control switch adjusts power output in all three modes.
When a Valleylab mode instrument’s Smart connector is attached to either the
Monopolar 1 or Monopolar 2 receptacle, the ForceTriad energy platform detects
the instrument type and displays the Valleylab tab on the corresponding
touchscreen.
Power Zones:
The five gold bars in the center of the Valleylab tab represent the
five power zones available for the particular instrument attached to the energy
platform receptacle. The system automatically selects the default power zone
setting for the particular instrument. Power zones can only be changed at the
touchscreen interface on the energy platform.
Note:
Refer to the individual instrument instructions for power zone output in watts.
Slider Position:
The energy platform detects the current position of the
instrument’s slider switch, and the slider position indicator on the right side of the
Valleylab tab displays this slider position. Slider position can only be changed by
the instrument user in the sterile field.
