ABSTRACT:
An electrosurgical generator system includes an electrosurgical handpiece including an active electrode for receiving electrosurgical power from a generator, and cut and coagulation mode switches and a foot activated switch device also including cut and coagulation mode switches. A signal processor associated with the generator and connected to the handpiece and foot activated switch device monitors the states of the cut and coagulation mode switches so as to detect activation of any of these switches and, responsive to two successive activations of a single switch of the switches being monitored, provides control of the power produced by the electrosurgical generator by further activation of the single switch.
