REM Contact Quality Monitor
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 (whichever 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 autobipolar feature that
allows for automatic activation of bipolar energy.
Note:
The autobipolar electrode function requires the use of the Valleylab E0018
bipolar instrument cord.
The autobipolar specifications are:
Interrogation frequency
80 kHz ± 10 kHz
Interrogation current
< 100 µA
Interrogation voltage
< 12V RMS
Interrogation frequency
80 kHz ± 10 kHz
Interrogation current
< 100 µA
Interrogation voltage
< 12V RMS
Activation impedance
