Ultrasonic operation system
First Claim
1. An ultrasonic operation system comprising:
- a drive signal generator unit comprising a drive signal oscillator circuit for generating drive signals for driving an ultrasonic vibrator; and
a first connector receptacle for outputting drive signals generated by the drive signal oscillator circuit;
a transmission cable comprising first connector means that are for transmitting the drive signals and that detachably connect to the first connector receptacle; and
second connector means for outputting transmitted drive signals;
a first hand piece comprising a second connector receptacle that detachably connects to the second connector means;
a first ultrasonic vibrator that vibrates ultrasonically in response to drive signals input from the second connector receptacle; and
a first probe for transmitting ultrasonic vibrations generated by the first ultrasonic vibrator to a subject body; and
a second hand piece comprising a third connector receptacle that detachably connects to the second connector means;
a second ultrasonic vibrator that vibrates ultrasonically in response to drive signals input from the third connector receptacle; and
a second probe, of a shape different from that of the first probe, for transmitting ultrasonic vibrations generated by the second ultrasonic vibrator to the subject body.

Abstract
An ultrasonic operation system comprises: a transmission cable that is connected detachably, through a connector, to a connector receptacle in a main apparatus unit; plural types of transducers provided with a connector receptacle each capable of detachably connecting the connector of the transmission cable, an identification element for outputting its own identification signal, and a ultrasonic vibrator, correspondingly; and a main apparatus unit for receiving the identification signals in an identification circuit, automatically controlling drive signals that a control circuit causes a drive signal generator unit to generate, and automatically displaying the identified instrument on a control-display unit.
