CONSISTENT TISSUE EFFECTS.
INTUITIVE DESIGN.
The Valleylab™ FX8 energy platform is powered by our smart TissueFect™ tissue-sensing technology. That means it can monitor changes in tissue impedance 434,000 times per second — and adjust energy output accordingly.4,5
Now, in your hands, electrosurgical devices can adapt to produce the consistent clinical tissue effects you require.4.5
The Valleylab™ FX8 energy platform delivers:
- Precise delivery of monopolar and bipolar energy1,2
- Power control during monopolar energy delivery that’s five times better than the ForceTriad™ energy platform1,2
- Tissue monitoring that’s 2600 times faster than the Force FX™ electrosurgical generator4–6
- Appropriate thermal spread7,†
The Valleylab™ FX8 energy platform has a next-gen design. It provides users with:
- A three-section touch screen
- Simple controls and straightforward information displays3,§

£ Per IEC 60601-2-2: 2009 clause 201.7.9.2.2.101(c)(2), whenever the peak voltage is greater than 1600 V, the calculated variable y is less than the actual crest factor. The peak voltage at rated load can be calculated using the equation:
Vpeak(Umax) = TypicalCrestFactor √Power·RatedLoad
‡At rated load.
§ Rated load in SHARED COAG modes is the total energy channel load. For SHARED dual activation using two activating instruments, it is the parallel combination of the two loads. For SHARED single activation using one activating instrument, it is the load connected to the activating electrode only.
