REM Alarm Indicator

Force FX-8C Service Manual
Warning
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.
You can connect a footswitching or handswitching monopolar instrument
to the monopolar receptacles. Some footswitching instruments may
require a single-pin adapter (E0502 Series) or E0017, available from
Valleylab.
Connect one monopolar instrument to the Monopolar 1/CEM Instrument
receptacle:
• A single-pin footswitching instrument or a three-pin handswitching
instrument
or
• A four-pin CUSA handpiece with CEM nosecone. (The CEM indicator
in the upper right of the front panel illuminates green. Refer
to Section 4, Connecting the CUSA Handpiece with CEM Nosecone, in the
Force FX-8C Electrosurgical Generator User's Guide.
Connect one monopolar instrument to the Monopolar 2 Instrument
receptacle:
• A single-pin footswitching instrument or a three-pin handswitching
instrument
This indicator illuminates red until you properly apply a REM patient
return electrode to the patient and connect it to the generator. Then the
indicator illuminates green. (When you connect an electrode without the
REM safety feature, the indicator does not illuminate.)
If the REM system senses an alarm condition, the indicator flashes red
until you correct the alarm condition—then the indicator illuminates
green. (If you are using a return electrode without the REM safety feature,
the red indicator light is extinguished when you correct the alarm
condition.)
