Johnson & Johnson MedTech today announced the launch of the DUALTO Energy System, a surgical solution that combines multiple energy modalities into an integrated platform for use across open and minimally invasive surgery. The system can be paired with Service Solutions to support uptime and is designed to work with the Polyphonic Fleet software application for device management. DUALTO has also been designed for future use with the company’s OTTAVA Robotic Surgical System.
DUALTO is developed to offer clinical teams the choice of powering monopolar, bipolar, ultrasonic, and advanced bipolar instruments, including HARMONIC and ENSEAL devices, from a single, consolidated system. It uses proprietary Adaptive Tissue Technology, enhancing the performance of HARMONIC and ENSEAL advanced energy devices. Adaptive Tissue Technology responds intelligently to changing tissue conditions, regulates energy delivery for improved temperature management, and provides tone changes and user signals, to enable more precise energy delivery. When powered by DUALTO, HARMONIC 700 and HARMONIC FOCUS+ instruments demonstrate more efficiency, transecting thick tissue up to 18% and 25% faster, respectively.
Streamlined OR setup could help to minimize stress levels for surgeons and their clinical teams. The design of DUALTO prioritizes usability – the instinctive touchscreen interface offers guided setup and troubleshooting, features clear visual and auditory cues for real-time feedback, and streamlines workflows in the operating room. With the capability to store personalized profiles for different surgeons and procedures, DUALTO supports faster setup and adjustments through custom energy settings.
The DUALTO Energy System is designed to work with Polyphonic Fleet – an easy-to-use software application that helps hospitals oversee capital equipment. Polyphonic Fleet can inform the status of DUALTO for software upgrades and routine maintenance needs and provide instructions remotely, helping biomedical managers, engineers, and other users ensure the system has the latest software without disrupting the operating room schedule.
