Electrodes Without the REM Safety Feature
When you use a patient return electrode that does not have the REM safety feature, the
REM system cannot monitor the patient contact area as previously described. The REM
system can monitor only the pin-to-pin resistance at the connector and can detect
broken wires or connectors in the return electrode cord.
Ultrasonic Electrosurgery
The Force FX-C generator works in conjunction with the CUSA System 200 and CUSA
EXcel for procedures where combined ultrasonic dissection and electrosurgical cutting
and coagulation is desired, either simultaneously or independently. In addition to
convenience, the combination of ultrasonic vibration plus simultaneous electrosurgical
current prevents charring of the tip and decreases sticking and disruption of coagulum,
leading to more effective hemostasis.
When you connect a CUSA handpiece with a CEM nosecone to the generator for
ultrasonic electrosurgery, it limits the monopolar output power automatically.
• The maximum power you can set for monopolar cut is 100 watts.
• The maximum power you can set for monopolar coag is 70 watts.
When you activate the handpiece for cut or coag output, the Low cut mode or the
Desiccate coag mode is in effect automatically. The remaining cut modes and coag
modes are not available.
Warning
Using a conventional patient return electrode without the REM safety feature will not activate the
REM Contact Quality Monitoring System.
