Abstract: A constant power control circuit (107) for an electrosurgical generator (101) and a method for maintaining the electrical power output of an electrosurgical generator (101) at a generally constant value throughout a given tissue impedance range are disclosed. The constant power control circuit (107) and the method recognize and use the unique and simple linear characteristics associated with certain electrosurgical generator (101) designs to monitor and control the electrical power output without having to calculate or monitor the actual output power. The constant power control circuit (107) includes a current sampling circuit (115), a linear conversion circuit (117), and a feedback correction circuit (119). The constant power control circuit (107) may also include protection circuitry that prevents the electrosurgical generator (101) from being over-driven during high and/or low impedance loading (121), and reduces the severity of exit sparking by providing a quick response to high impedance indications while nonetheless maintaining increased power levels throughout a preset, nominal impedance range. The constant power control circuit (107) and method may be included as an integral part of the overall electrosurgical generator's (101) circuitry, or may be embodied as a separate unit that connects to, and controls, an electrosurgical generator (101). The constant power control circuit (107) and method may be embodied through a variety of analog and/or digital circuit components or arrangements, including software running on computational and memory circuitry.

Abstract: A handpiece (11) with a moveable switchable electrode (12) delivers high frequency electrosurgery. The electrode switches (28) from a first monopolar mode with an active electrode (14) extending from the handpice (11) and a patient (13) return electrodes (15a and 15b) to a second bipolar mode with the active and return electrodes (15a and 15b) extending. Electrosurgical generator (16) outputs supply energy to the electrodes. Bipolar terminals (18) supply energy to the electrodes for use in the second mode. An active lead (19a) selectively connects the active output and the active electrode (14). A return lead (20a and 20b) selectively connects the return electrode (15a and 15b) and the return output in the first mode or the return terminal when in the second mode. Terminals connect with wiring to the electrodes in the handpiece (11) to complete the circuit for the second mode. One terminal is on the generator and the other is in the handpiece (11) to connect to the electrodes and complete the circuit for the second mode. The electrode has a control (12') on the handpiece (11) for the surgeon to change circuitry and to position the electrode for each mode. The control (12') and return electrode (15a and 15b) are moveably supported by the handpiece (11). The return electrode (15a and 15b) in the first mode is positioned inside the handpiece (11) disconnected from its terminal. The return electrode (15a and 15b) connects to its terminal when extended from the handpiece (11). The return electrode (15a and 15b) when used in the first mode, has a pair of pads (21) attached to the patient (13) and connected to a monitoring circuit (22) for testing continuity between each pad and the patient (13). The handpiece (11) has an elongated support extending distally. A method of use has steps including providing the handpiece (11) and electrode, switching the electrode from the first mode to the second mode, providing the generator with outputs for supplying energy to the electrodes, having terminals for the electrodes when used in the second mode, including an active lead (19a) selectively in circuit between the active output and electrode and including a return lead (20a and 20b) selectively in circuit between the return electrode (15a and 15b) and output when in the first mode or the terminal when in the second mode.

Abstract: A circuit, for monitoring and controlling parameters of an electrosurgical unit, ESU, relative to load and the RF energy, has a load responsive output sensing circuit that measures the ESU load. A signal modifier, attached to the sensing circuit enhances the signals measured and transmits them to a buffer. An analog to digital converter, A/D, digitize the signals and samples wave pulse train at about eight million samples per second. A data memory stores the digitized signals. A RF drive clock connects to the ESU output; a sample clock uses phase shifting to interrogate the input signals to a processor, DSP, at a greater sampling rate of frequency than without. The DSP receives the stored signals from the data memory and processes them while monitoring and calculating ESU parameters measured, i.e. voltage, current, power, load impedance, leakage current, peak to peak voltage, peak to peak current, spectral content and/or crest factor of the RF wave pulse train energy to use as controlling feedback to the either a high voltage power supply in the ESU, regulating the RF drive pulses or both. A method monitors and controls the ESU relative to load has the steps of collecting parameters with the ESU output sensing circuit responsive to loads; enhancing signals with the signal modifier; transmitting signals to the buffer; converting signals with the A/D converter; storing signals in the data memory; receiving signals in the DSP, and processing, monitoring and controlling signals by repeatedly measuring ESU output parameters.

Abstract: Apparatus and method find leakage due to tissue load or transients and has active and return electrodes for RF energy sensed by transformers for a circuit that finds leakage at more than two thousand times per second or a frequency dependent on the phase shift between voltage and current. Software and feedback manage Vrms to reduce the voltage or increase the crest factor, which is Vrms divided by peak voltage, by pulse width modulation of the RF drive. Voltage and current phase shift changes, angle theta , are compared to a threshold, and when greater, the frequency at which the differences between the active and return current signals are examined is increased. The differences between the active and return currents are examined and when greater than maximum leakage while in coagulation mode, the RF drive pulse width is reduced to maintain voltage wave peaks at a preset value and reduce Vrms thereby reducing leakage to the allowable maximum. Reducing the duty cycle or the pulse width of the output wave increases the crest factor. When the differences between active and return currents are greater than a maximum for leakage while in cut or bipolar mode, the Vrms is reduced to limit leakage to a maximum level. When the phase angle theta is less than a threshold, the frequency with which leakage is examined is reduced.
