The Storz Communication Bus/ValleyLabs Force FX Control is an interface control box between the SCB computer and the electrosurgical generator. It contains software to display ValleyLab Force FX electrosurgical generator's control parameters on a SCB computer and screen. The Interface Unit serves as a connector box from the Force FX unit to the SCB compatible computer. The unit's software does not perform calculations. It only relays Force FX functions and controls on the SCB monitor for the surgeon's convenient control.
The Karl Storz SCB/ValleyLab Force FX Control connects a Storz Communication Bus computer to the ValleyLab Force FX electrosurgical generator. It enables the SCB computer to display and control the FX's functions.
