Ultrasonic operating apparatus
First Claim
1. An ultrasonic operating apparatus comprising:
- a hand piece having a vibration generating portion for generating ultrasonic vibrations;
an ultrasonic operating tool having a probe for transmitting the ultrasonic vibrations to the organ;
a signal generating portion which generates a driving signal for applying the ultrasonic vibrations to the vibration generating portion of the hand piece;
an electronic control portion which controls the driving signal and systematically controls the apparatus;
a detecting portion which detects an abnormal state of the ultrasonic operating tool; and
notifying means which notifies a user of detection of the abnormal state of the ultrasonic operating tool,wherein the electronic control portion controls an operation so as to prevent additional control operations unless the abnormal state is corrected by a correct processing routine, the notifying means sends a notification indicating an incorrect processing routine to the user,the electronic control portion determines whether or not a processing routine for correcting the abnormal state is available, if it is determined that the processing routine for correcting the abnormal state is available, the electronic control portion provides the user with the processing routine for correcting the abnormal state by way of the notifying means and if it is determined that the user cannot correct the detected abnormal state, the electronic control portion sends a notification indicating that the user cannot correct the detected abnormal state by the notifying means.

Abstract
An ultrasonic operating apparatus of the present invention includes an apparatus main body having a vibration driving circuit for generating a driving signal to apply ultrasonic vibrations to a vibration generating portion of a hand piece and having a control portion for generating the driving signal and for systematically controlling the apparatus. An operating and display panel and a water supply pump are arranged to an outer surface of the apparatus main body, and the driving signal is supplied to the hand piece via a connector. Until a user carries out a correct processing routine, the control portion does not perform the above control operation even though the user may execute another control operation. Further, the control portion controls an operation so that an incorrect processing routine is notified to the user on the operating and display panel.

13. An ultrasonic operating apparatus having an ultrasonic operating tool, comprising:
-
a detecting means for detecting an abnormal state of the ultrasonic operating tool; notifying means for notifying a user of detection of the abnormal state of the ultrasonic operating tool; and an electronic control portion which controls a driving signal and controls the apparatus, the electronic control portion suspending operation of the ultrasonic operation tool when the abnormal state is detected until the abnormal state is corrected, the electronic control portion, upon detection of the abnormal state, determines whether or not a processing routine for correcting the abnormal state is available, if it is determined that the processing routine for correcting the abnormal state is available, the electronic control portion provides the user with the processing routine for correcting the abnormal state by way of the notifying means and if it is determined that the user cannot correct the detected abnormal state, the electronic control portion sends a notification indicating that the user cannot correct the detected abnormal state by the notifying means, and the electronic control portion prevents execution of control of the ultrasonic operation tool unless the user corrects the abnormal state by the correct procedure.

14. A method for controlling an ultrasonic operating tool, comprising:
-
detecting an abnormal state of an ultrasonic operating tool; notifying a user of detection of the abnormal state of the ultrasonic operating tool; suspending operation of the ultrasonic operation tool when the abnormal operating state is detected; determining whether or not a processing routine for correcting the abnormal state is available; providing the user with the processing routine for correcting the abnormal state if it is determined that the processing routine for correcting the abnormal state is available by way of notifying means and if it is determined that the user cannot correct the detected abnormal state, the electronic control portion sends a notification indicating that the user cannot correct the detected abnormal state by the notifying means; and preventing operation of the ultrasonic operation tool unless the user corrects the abnormal operating state by the correct processing routine.
