What is Instant Response™ Technology?

Instant Response™ technology features an advanced feedback system that recognizes changes in tissue 200 times per second and adjusts voltage and current accordingly to maintain appropriate power. This unique capability differentiates Instant Response™ generators from any other, as shown by their high power efficiency rating (PER). That’s smart™ generator technology.

PER indicates the ability of a generator to accurately deliver the selected power into a wide range of tissue types. With a PER of 98, the Force FX™ generator provides a consistent surgical effect and has a higher PER than any other electrosurgical generator.*

through different tissue types.

The Force FX™ generator offers surgeons the advantage of accurately delivering the selected power setting, even through resistant tissue. The power curve below illustrates the Force FX™ generator’s consistent output.

When a conventional generator encounters tissue changes, both power delivery and cutting efficiency are reduced. This means that higher power settings are required in order to cut through all types of tissue. With higher power settings, more energy is delivered, and tissue damage increases.
