Features:

• 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
• Three internal microcontrollers reduce system reaction time and increase the system’s processing speed
• Easy to use, cost effective system when performance is required and price is of equal concern
• Two cut modes, both controlled by Instant Response technology, offer surgeons a variety of choices:
  • Pure Cut for a clean, precise cut
  • Blend for cutting with hemostatsis
• Two primary coag modes:
  • Low for lower voltage contact coagulation suitable in laparoscopic and delicate tissue work
  • High for efficient noncontact coagulation in most applications
• Standard bipolar mode:
  • Standard mode is controlled by Instant Response technology and utilizes low voltage to prevent sparking
• Versatile system that is uniquely compatible with other devices, including:
  • Force Argon IITM and Force GSU argon coagulation system
  • OptiMummTM smoke evacuator, through a direct cable link
• A Power Efficiency Rating (PER) of approximately 97 for accurate and consistent cut performance
• Separate monopolar and bipolar footswitch connectors on rear panel for easy set up
• Convenient design for boom applications:
  • Additional front mounted footswitch connector is switchable, allowing monopolar or bipolar activation by a monopolar footswitch

Power Readouts
Agree with actual power into rated load to within ± 15% or 5 watts, whichever is greater. Dosage error monitor.

PER = 97
PER (Power Efficiency Rating) is the measure of an electrosurgical generator’s ability to accurately deliver the selected power into a wide range of tissue types.
