Patent number: 6544257Abstract: A thermal treatment apparatus comprises a control unit 251a that stops issuing a signal for laser beam activation transmitted over the foot switch signal cable 291 when the temperature obtained by the mirror temperature sensor 111 that detects the temperature of the laser emission part 122 provided at the laser irradiation unit 1 exceeds a predetermined value. This stops the output of the laser beam from the laser generator 3. Alternatively, the control unit can adjust the output value of the laser beam generated by the laser beam generator 3 by transmitting a signal via the communication cable 293 to change it in accordance with the detection signal of the mirror temperature sensor 111.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2001Date of Patent: April 8, 2003Assignees: Olympus Optical Co., Ltd., Terumo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Toru Nagase, Norihiko Hareyama, Takefumi Uesugi, Satoshi Mizukawa, Makoto Inaba, Akira Sakaguchi, Shigenobu Iwahashi, Shigeki Ariura, Shin Maki, Wataru Karino
