Electrically operated medical apparatus
First Claim
1. An electrically operated medical apparatus comprising an electrical instrument which can be handled by a person and which is connected to an electrically operated feed and control apparatus, which is connected to a switch to be actuated by the person, by means of which a switching signal initiated by the person can switch on and off one or more functions of the electrical instrument in the feed and control apparatus, wherein the switch is associated with a transmitter part which converts the switching signals into signals which can be transmitted without wires and which are transmitted via a transmitting element to a receiving element of a receiving station, which is connected to a switching input of the feed and control apparatus and transmits a control signal corresponding to the switching signal to the feed and control apparatus, wherein the receiving station is connected to the feed and control apparatus via a connection that is configured such that upon removal of the connection, a customary switch may be connected to the feed and control apparatus in place of the receiving station.

Abstract
The invention relates to an electrically operated medical apparatus, such as an electro-surgical apparatus comprising an electrical instrument which can be handled by a person and which is connectable or connected to an electrically operated feed and control apparatus, such as a high-frequency surgical apparatus, which is connected to a switch to be actuated by the person, by means of which a switching signal initiated by him can switch on and off one or more functions of the electrical instrument in the feed and control apparatus. In accordance with the present teaching, the switch is associated with a transmitter part which converts the switching signals into signals which can be transmitted without wires and which are transmitted via a transmitting element to a receiving element of a receiving station. The receiving element is connected to the switching input of the feed and control apparatus and transmits to the feed and control apparatus a control signal corresponding to the switching signal.
