Abstract: In an electric operation apparatus, a counter plate of a mono-polar type and a counter plate of a separate type are used to perform an electric operation. A counter plate connector connects a counter plate of a mono-polar type and a counter plate of a separate type. A first monitor is connected to the counter plate connector, and monitors the condition of the counter plate of the mono-polar type. A second monitor is connected to the counter plate connector, and monitors the condition of the counter plate of the separate type. A detector makes the first and second monitors operate on the basis of a predetermined operation procedure, thereby to detect the attachment conditions of the counter plates of respective types connected to the counter plate connector.

Abstract: In an electrosurgery apparatus for treating a living tissue, while the living tissue is being treated, a variation in state of energy supplied from a cautery power supply to a monopolar treatment device is detected on the basis of detection data obtained from a current sensor and a voltage sensor. Based on the detected variation, living body information on the living tissue to be treated is obtained.

Abstract: A medical system control apparatus including a plurality of pieces of medical equipment having respective identification numbers thereof individually, and having display portions on which setting conditions or operating conditions are displayed and operating portions for modifying the setting conditions or the operating conditions which are displayed on the display portions, a centralized controller for controlling the plurality of pieces of medical equipment, a centralized display device connected to the controller and provided with a display portion which displays the display contents of the plurality of pieces of medical equipment, a centralized operation device connected to the controller for controlling the setting conditions or the operating conditions which are displayed on the display portions of the plurality of pieces of medical equipment, and a communication device for enabling the plurality of pieces of medical equipment, the centralized display device and the centralized operation device and the

Abstract: A communication port of a concentrated controller for performing concentrated control, and a communication port of each of a plurality of operation devices having respective peculiar ID codes are connected to each other by a signal transmitting cable or the like. An ID code of an operation device intended to be accessed from the concentrated controller is transmitted, whereby each of the operation devices judges whether or not the transmitted ID code is in agreement with one's own ID code. Access is made only to the operation device when the ID code is in agreement with one's own ID code. The operation of such device is capable of being controlled by transmitted information; and such operation is preferably related to a medical environment.

Abstract: A high-frequency cauterizing apparatus comprises a high-frequency power supply device, having a plurality of high-frequency output modes, for generating a high-frequency current, at least one medical treatment instrument to be connected to the high-frequency power supply device, a detector for detecting connection of the medical treatment instrument to the high-frequency power supply device, a control signal generator for identifying the type of the medical treatment instrument on the basis of a detection signal from the detector and generating a control signal, and a controller for controlling a high-frequency output from the high-frequency power supply device on the basis of the control signal generated from the control signal generator.
