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 Output Modes (Watts) Power Zone Indicators Slider Position Indicator REM Indicator Manual Selector Button 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. 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.
