Connections for Monopolar Surgery
If you plan to use a footswitching monopolar instrument, you must connect a Valleylab
monopolar footswitch. You may also use a footswitch to activate a handswitching
instrument or a CUSA handpiece with CEM nosecone. Refer to the figures on this page
and page 5-7.

Warning
Electric Shock Hazard
• Do not connect wet accessories to the generator.
• Ensure that all accessories and adapters are correctly connected and that no metal is exposed.
Use only a Valleylab monopolar footswitch with the Force FX Electrosurgical Generator C
generator. Use on an incompatible footswitch may cause unexpected output.
The instrument receptacles on this generator are designed to accept only one instrument at a
time. Do not attempt to connect more than one instrument at a time into a given receptacle.
Doing so will cause simultaneous activation of the instruments.
