Title: Electrosurgical generator and system
Inventor: RICHARD JOHN HOODLESS
IPC: A61B18/12
Filed: 2020-08-10
Abstract: Activating and controlling a third-party pump 10 in an electrosurgical system also providing an electrosurgical generator 1 and an electrosurgical instrument 12, with the generator providing radiofrequency (RF) signals to the electrosurgical instrument via a signal cord 4. The pump is connected to the instrument via tubes 14 in order to provide irrigation and/or suction at the instrument. During operation, if it is determined that the pump should be activated, the generator generates a loop signal, outputting this to a cable loop 90 that is coupled to the generator, the cable loop being separate to the signal cord. A sensing device, such as a current sensor 95, of the pump senses the loop signal passing through the cable loop. The pump detects the loop signal and triggers the pump to activate the irrigation and suction functionalities of the pump. It may be possible to control the pump flow rate by varying the level of current sent to the cable loop.
