REM Contact Quality Monitor:
- Interrogation frequency: 80 kHz ± 10 kHz
vInterrogation current: < 100µA
- Interrogation voltage: < 12V RMS

Acceptable Resistance Range:
- REM resistance measurements are ± 10% during RF activation and ± 5% when RF output is not activated.
- REM patient return electrode: 5 to 135 ohms or up to a 40% increase in the initial measured contact resistance (which ever is less).If the measured resistance is outside the acceptable range(s) noted above, a REM fault condition occurs.

REM Alarm Activation:
REM patient return electrode: When the measured resistance exceeds the standard range of safe resistance (below 5 ohms or above 135 ohms) or when the initial measured contact resistance increases by 40% (whichever is less), the REM alarm indicator enlarges and flashes red and yellow, a tone sounds twice, and RF output is disabled. The indicator remains illuminated red and yellow until you correct the condition causing the alarm. Then, the indicator illuminates green and RF output is enabled.

Autobipolar:
- The ForceTriad energy platform is equipped with an autobipolar feature that allows for automatic activation of bipolar energy.
- Note: The autobipolar electrode function requires the use of the Valleylab E0018 bipolar Instrument cord.
- Autobipolar Specificaitons:
- Interrogation frequency: 80 kHz ± 10 kHz.
- Interrogation current: < 100 µA.
- Activation impedance: 20 O to 500.
- Deactivation impedance: User selectable: 1,500 O 1,800 O or 2,200 O.
- Measurement accuracy: ± 14% of Full Scale activation impedance while keying active above 10 watts.
-  + 50%, -14% of full scale activation impedance while keying active at 10 watts or below.
- ± 5% of Full Scale activation impedance while keying inactive.
- Keying delay: User selectable in 500 msec increments from 0 sec to 2.5 sec

Duty Cycle:
- Under maximum power settings and rated load conditions, the ForceTriad energy platform is capable of operating a duty cycle of 25% defined as 10 seconds active and 30 seconds inactive, in any mode for a period of 4 hours.
- Caution : Use of duty cycles greater than 25% (10 seconds active followed by 30 seconds inactive) will increase the risk that heat build-up under a return electrode may be high enough toinjure the patient. Do not continuously activate for longer than one minute.
