Frequently asked questions
Is this footswitch compatible with many generators?
Yes, the Valleylab E6008 Footswitch is designed for broad compatibility across the full range of Valleylab/Covidien full-powered electrosurgical generators, including:
- SurgiStat II
- Force 2
- Force FXc
- Force EZc
It primarily controls Monopolar functions on all listed units. A key feature is its dual functionality (controlling both Monopolar and Bipolar functions) specifically when connected to the SurgiStat II Electrosurgical Generator.
Is the E6008 footswitch designed for safety?
Yes, the Valleylab E6008 Monopolar Footswitch incorporates several robust design elements to ensure safety and reliable operation in the clinical environment:
- Prevents Accidental Activation: A prominent divider bar is physically placed between the ‘Cut’ and ‘Coag’ pedals, preventing unintended simultaneous activation.
- Enhanced Stability: It features a non-skid rubber base to keep the unit securely positioned on the floor during use.
- Fluid Protection: The footswitch has a water-resistant design and utilizes a water-resistant strain relief connector, protecting internal electronics from liquid spills common in operating rooms.
Does this footswitch support bipolar functions?
Yes, the Valleylab E6008 Monopolar Footswitch supports both monopolar (Cut and Coag) and bipolar functions. However, bipolar function control is only available when used with the SurgiStat II electrosurgical generator.
What advanced safety features are included?
The Valleylab E6008 Footswitch is engineered with multiple safety and durability features optimized for use in demanding clinical environments:
- Accident Prevention: A robust divider bar is positioned between the ‘CUT’ and ‘COAG’ pedals to reduce the risk of accidental simultaneous activation.
- Operational Stability: It features a non-skid rubber base that helps ensure the unit remains firmly in place on the floor during use.
- Fluid Protection: The construction is designed to be water-resistant, and includes a water-resistant strain relief connector, protecting the internal electronics from accidental fluid exposure and spills.
What functions do the 'CUT' and 'COAG' pedals control?
The Valleylab E6008 Monopolar Footswitch provides precise, hands-free activation of critical electrosurgical functions through its dual pedals:
- The pedal labeled CUT controls the Monopolar Cutting function.
- The pedal labeled COAG controls the Monopolar Coagulation function.
Bipolar Functionality
While the E6008 is primarily a Monopolar device, it also has the capability to support Bipolar functions when connected specifically to the Valleylab SurgiStat II Electrosurgical Generator.
Is this footswitch suitable for professional surgical environments?
The Valleylab E6008 Monopolar Footswitch is specifically designed for use in operating rooms and surgical centers. It provides convenient, hands-free control of electrosurgical functions, allowing surgeons to maintain focus during procedures.
What is included with the E6008 footswitch?
The purchase includes the complete Valleylab E6008 Monopolar Footswitch unit, ready for immediate use. This hands-free accessory is designed for reliability and safety, including:
- The main footswitch housing with clearly defined ‘CUT’ and ‘COAG’ activation pedals.
- A safety divider bar between the pedals to prevent accidental simultaneous activation.
- A non-skid rubber base for secure operation.
- An integrated connecting cable secured by a durable, water-resistant strain relief connector.
Note: If you select the Factory New condition option, the footswitch unit is equipped with a 15-foot cord.
Is this footswitch broadly compatible?
Yes, the E6008 Monopolar Footswitch is designed for broad compatibility with the full range of Valleylab and Covidien full-powered electrosurgical generators. This includes:
- SurgiStat II
- Force 2
- Force FXc
- Force EZc
The footswitch primarily controls Monopolar functions (Cut and Coag) across all these models. A unique benefit is its Dual Functionality; when paired specifically with the SurgiStat II Generator, it is also capable of controlling Bipolar functions.
Does this footswitch offer dual functionality?
Yes, the Valleylab E6008 is engineered for critical control and offers dual functionality:
- Monopolar Control: Manages the ‘Cut’ and ‘Coag’ operations across all compatible generators (Force 2, Force FXc, Force EZc, and SurgiStat II).
- Bipolar Control: This function is available exclusively when the footswitch is paired with the Valleylab SurgiStat II Electrosurgical Generator.
Does this footswitch have a durable, water-resistant design?
Yes, the Valleylab E6008 Monopolar Footswitch is engineered for durability and high operational safety in demanding clinical environments. It is built with robust construction materials suitable for continuous use.
Key safety and durability features include:
- Water-Resistant Construction: Both the footswitch housing and the strain relief connector are water-resistant, protecting the internal components from fluids.
- Enhanced Stability: It features a non-skid rubber base to prevent unwanted movement during critical procedures.
- Accident Prevention: A required structural divider bar is positioned between the clearly labeled ‘CUT’ and ‘COAG’ pedals to guard against accidental simultaneous activation.
