    摘要: A method for authenticating an electrosurgical system accessory comprising initiating a surgical procedure through a user interface on an electrosurgical generator, automatically determining whether an electrosurgical accessory is plugged into a generator receptacle, activating an RFID reader connected to the generator in response to a determination that an accessory is plugged into a receptacle, transmitting through the RFID reader to an RFID tag in the accessory a privacy password, transmitting a unit identification code from the RFID tag to the generator, displaying a device type associated with the transmitted unit identification code, checking a status of the accessory, unlocking a tag memory management if the read status code indicates the accessory has not previously been used, reading encoded data from the tag memory, computing a device authentication code from tag memory encoded data, transmitting the computed authentication code to the tag, and enabling the accessory in response to a match.

    摘要: A multi-functional electrosurgical plasma accessory having a handpiece and an extendable probe assembly. The extendable probe assembly has a shaft member, a tube, an electrode, a spacer and a collet. The shaft member and tube each may be formed of a plurality of structures assembled together, each may be of a single unitary design, or both together may be of a single unitary design. The shaft member has an interior channel, a distal end and a proximal end comprised of a neck portion at the distal end of the shaft member, a grip. The elongated portion of the shaft is movable within the spacer between a first position in which a portion of a distal end of the electrode extends out of the tube and a second portion in which the distal end of the electrode does not extend out of the tube.

    摘要: An electrosurgical method and device for simultaneously cutting and coagulating tissue with an electrosurgical device having an electrode and a channel wherein said channel has a port near a proximal end of said electrode, wherein the method comprises the steps of causing an inert gas to flow through said channel and exit said port, applying high-frequency energy to said electrode while said inert gas flows through said channel, wherein said high-frequency energy applied to said electrode continuously plasmatizes inert gas exiting said port, initiating an electrical discharge from said electrode through said continuously plasmatized inert gas to said tissue, cutting tissue with said electrode, maintaining said electrical discharge from said electrode through said plasmatized inert gas while cutting tissue with said electrode to cause coagulation of said tissue simultaneously with said cutting.
