What does the Ligasure energy measurement on FT10 utilize for decision-making?

The Ligasure energy measurement on the FT10 utilizes the Purple Progress Wheel for decision-making. The Purple Progress Wheel is an integral part of the device's interface, providing real-time feedback during energy delivery as it measures tissue response and energy delivery effectiveness. This allows clinicians to make informed decisions based on the feedback provided, ensuring optimal tissue fusion and minimizing the risk of complications.

The Purple Progress Wheel effectively indicates the status of the energy application, such as progress through different phases of tissue sealing or cutting, which helps the user gauge when to proceed or adjust the technique being used. This feature enhances procedural control and improves the overall safety and efficacy of the device.

In contrast, the Red Control Wheel, Manual Adjust Dial, and Green Indicator Lights serve different functions within the system and do not specifically carry the same role in energy measurement decision-making as the Purple Progress Wheel. These components may facilitate other operational aspects of the device but are not central to the feedback mechanism that informs the clinician during the procedure.
