1. Technical Fief', This disclostue relates to ultrasound surgical systems and, more particularly to an improved ultrasonic surgical system console.
2, B,gc~ground of Related Art Devices which effectively utilize ultrasonic energy for a variety of applications are well-known in a number of diverse arcs. The application of ultrasonically vibrating surgical devices used to fragment and remove unwanted tissue with significant precision and safety has led to the development of a number of valuable surgical procedures. Accordingly, the use of ultrasonic aspirators for the fragmentation and surgical removal of tissue from a body has become well-known. Initially, the technique of surgical aspiration was applied for the fragmentation and rt:moval of cataract tissue. Later, such techniques were applied with significant success to neurosurgery and other surgical specialties where the application of ultrasonic technology through a handheld device for selectively removing tissue on a layer-by-layer basis with precise control has proven feasible.
Certain devices known in the art characteristically produce continuous vibrations having a substantially constant amplitude at a predetermined frequency (i.e. 20-30 kHz). C'.ertain limitations have emerged in attempts to use such devices in a broad spectrum of surgical procedures. For example, the action of a continuously vibrating tip does not have a desired effect in breaking up certain types of body tissue" bone, etc. Because the ultrasonic frequency is limited by the physical characteristics of the handheld device, only the motion available at the tip provides the needed motion to break up a particular tissue. The limited focus of a device is ineffective for certain applications due to the vibrations which may be provided by the handheld device. For certain medical procedures, it may be necessary to use multiple hand held devices or it may be necessary to use the same console for powering diifferent handheld devices.
Therefore, a need exists for an ultrasonic console which may be used with handheld devices which operate at different frequencies. A further need exists for a console which has connectors from the handheld device which identify the device 1~0 to ensure the appropriate device is chosen.
Ultrasonic consoles provide aspiration through vacuum lines coupled to the handheld device. Ultrasonic vibration is provided by activating an actuation element. Conventionally actuating elements are provided with power through a power switch, usually a foot switch. These systems typically break the aspirating l:i vacuum when the ultrasonics are turned off.
Therefore, a need exists for an ultrasonic console which provides for separate switching betwt:en the aspiration vacuum and the ultrasonics circuitry. A
further need exists for a surgical apparatus which provides increased ease of use.
SUMMARY

The irrigation system may ;include a user supplied reservoir for storing the irrigating fluid therein. A control system is also included for controlling and coordinating the power system, the aspiration system and the irrigation system during a surgical procedure.
In alternate embodiments of the surgical consoles and surgical systems as l'.0 described, the fragmentation device preferably includes a cable having a terminal for connecting to the power system.

Other inputs devices may include knobs, a keypad, voice activation, etc. A
display 74 as described in detail above is included for visually displaying data and providing user friendly control of console 10.
Control system 70 oversees operation of three main systems of console I0.
A power system 78 provides power to a handheld device 80 used for surgery.
Handheld device 80 may by used to perform surgery in a multiplicity of different ways. For example, handheld device 80 may provide ultrasonic vibrations for ultrasonic fragmentation of tissue at an operative site, further handheld device may provide ItF electrical current to an operative site for electrosurgery. In a preferred embodiment, handheld device 80 is used for ultrasonic surgery. Power system 78 provides an alternating; signal to a transducer located in handheld device 80 thereby causing a standing ultrasonic wave in device 80. Device 80 includes an output which provides the fragmenting action for breaking down tissue. For ultrasonics, output 82 includes a vibrating tip. Power system 78 includes a frequency generator which supplies an electrical signal at a desired frequency to the transducer. Power system 78 is coupled to handheld device 80 by a smart connector 84. Smart connector 84 is described hereinabove.
An irrigation system 86 is included and controlled by control system 70.
Irrigation system 86 provides several functions. One such function provides fluid to an operative site to assist in preventing coagulation of blood in vac' .-_ hoses.
This fluid is maintained and circulated from user supplied bag ' -IG. 1). A
cooling system is provided to supply cooling fluid to hang .. device 80 by flowing through flues in handheld device 80 thereby removing heat from active elements of device 80. Cooling system 88 is automatically filled and drained as needed. The automatic control is provided by cooling fluid control device 90.
Device 90 preferably includes circuitry for measuring and comparing fluid pressure levels.
An aspiration system 92 is included and is controlled by control system 70.
Aspiration system 92 removes tissue and fluids from the op°- ' through handheld device 80 during surgery.
Aspiration system 92 and power system 78 are coupled by an en:.ble circuit 94. Enable circuit 94 F~rovides a tissue release function. Power from power system 78 is stopped to halt fragmentation (as indicated by control system) while continuing suction from aspiration system 92. Advantageously, an operator may 2:i continue to remove tissue from an operative site without continuing to fragment tissue.
_10_ A laparoscopic feature is also included and implemented using enable circuit 94. Enable circuit 94 disables suction form aspiration system 92 unless power system 78 is activating handheld device 80. This feature advantageously prevents loss of pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic surgery.
Enabling circuit 94 preferably includes logic circuitry (i.e. AND/OR gates) which enables power and signal when appropriate inputs are present. For example with the laparoscopic fE;ature, if the ultrasonics of handheld device 35 is activated, a signal is sent to the aspiration system thereby enabling the aspiration system to supply vacuum. Similarly for the tissue release feature, when the power to the ultrasonics is disabled, vacuum is maintained by aspiration system by power supplied through the circuitry of enable circuit 94.
Other features of console 10 include a foot switch 96 for enabling one or more of the systems de:>cribed hereinabove.
It is also contemplated that the console 10 be configured with a quiet state 1.5 noise reduction mode. This mode will temporarily deactivate one or more of the higher decibel systems of the console, such as, e.g. the suction system, based on predetermined conditior.~s. For example, if the surgeon has not keyed the ultrasonics on for a predetermined time period, e.g. 2~I0 minutes, the console will temporarily go into the noise reduction mode by deactivating the suction system.
21) This mode substantially enhances the operating room conditions by quieting unnecessary noise.
It will be understood that various modifications may be made to the embodiments disclosed Jzerein. For example, other mechanisms may be used to allow adjustability of head 14 such as a spring loaded linkage for assisting in 2:i moving and maintaining the head in the desired position. Further, screen text may be displayed in various ;languages to provide additional convenience to operators.
Therefore, the above description should not be construed as limiting, but merely as exemplifications of preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art will envision other modifications within the scope and spirit of the claims appended hereto.
A connector receptacle 40 is included on console 10. Connector receptacle 40 provides an interface between handheld device 35 and the console to provide power to the fragmentation system, for example, power to actuate a transducer (not shown) i: old device 35. The c: asducer has, for example, magne;~strictive or piezoelectric elements in the handhelc ~ev:_ ;ver through connector receptacle 40.
Referring to FICi. 2, handheld device includes a cable 43 terminating in a plug 42 which engages and connects with receptacle 40 in a male/female relationship. Interface connections between plug 42 and receptacle 40 are preferably smart connections. That is, handheld device 35 is identified to console 10 by merely plugging it into console 10. This feature may be realize<~ ~v designing specific plug/receptacle patterns which are a~r:eue to devices. Further, sman: connecto:; .:. _ ... , storage within each handpiece which is activated upon connection to console 10. Memory storage identif es the handheld device and may also provide pertinent data about the device or give instructions which may be displayed by console 10.

Console 10 includes memory for storing software for executing various commands and functions for the _g_ appropriate operation of console 10 and the handheld device during surgery. A
system power switch 53 is also located on the front portion of base 12.
Referring to FIG. 4, a rear panel 60 of console I4 is shown. Upper portion 50 of base 12 includes compartments 56 for storage of, for example manuals, cables and tubes for use with the various functions of console 10. A
storage compartment 61 is provided at the bottom of the console for e.g.
footswitches. A power interface 62 is included for providing electrical power to console 10. A equipotential ground plug 64 is included with an AC main switch 66. During a surgical procedure, it may be desirable to use vacuum suction from an external source.
Referring to F:1G. 5, block/schematic diagram of console 10 is shown.
Console 10 includes a control system 70 which preferably includes a processor and memory for storage o:f software applications for controlling the various system functions maintained during use. Control system 70 may further include logic circuitry for activating; alarms, system checks, etc. Input from an operator is provided by input device 72. Input device 72 may included designated buttons, including virtual buttons, such as those associated with touchscreen displays.
Other inputs devices may include knobs, a keypad, voice activation, etc. A
display 74 as described in detail above is included for visually displaying data and providing user friendly control of console 10.
Control system 70 oversees operation of three main systems of console I0.
A power system 78 provides power to a handheld device 80 used for surgery.
Handheld device 80 may by used to perform surgery in a multiplicity of different ways. For example, handheld device 80 may provide ultrasonic vibrations for ultrasonic fragmentation of tissue at an operative site, further handheld device may provide ItF electrical current to an operative site for electrosurgery. In a preferred embodiment, handheld device 80 is used for ultrasonic surgery. Power system 78 provides an alternating; signal to a transducer located in handheld device 80 thereby causing a standing ultrasonic wave in device 80. Device 80 includes an output which provides the fragmenting action for breaking down tissue. For ultrasonics, output 82 includes a vibrating tip. Power system 78 includes a frequency generator which supplies an electrical signal at a desired frequency to the transducer. Power system 78 is coupled to handheld device 80 by a smart connector 84. Smart connector 84 is described hereinabove.
An irrigation system 86 is included and controlled by control system 70.
Irrigation system 86 provides several functions. One such function provides fluid to an operative site to assist in preventing coagulation of blood in vac' .-_ hoses.
This fluid is maintained and circulated from user supplied bag ' -IG. 1). A
cooling system is provided to supply cooling fluid to hang .. device 80 by flowing through flues in handheld device 80 thereby removing heat from active elements of device 80. Cooling system 88 is automatically filled and drained as needed. The automatic control is provided by cooling fluid control device 90.
Device 90 preferably includes circuitry for measuring and comparing fluid pressure levels.
An aspiration system 92 is included and is controlled by control system 70.
Aspiration system 92 removes tissue and fluids from the op°- ' through handheld device 80 during surgery.
Aspiration system 92 and power system 78 are coupled by an en:.ble circuit 94. Enable circuit 94 F~rovides a tissue release function. Power from power system 78 is stopped to halt fragmentation (as indicated by control system) while continuing suction from aspiration system 92. Advantageously, an operator may 2:i continue to remove tissue from an operative site without continuing to fragment tissue.
_10_ A laparoscopic feature is also included and implemented using enable circuit 94. Enable circuit 94 disables suction form aspiration system 92 unless power system 78 is activating handheld device 80. This feature advantageously prevents loss of pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic surgery.
Enabling circuit 94 preferably includes logic circuitry (i.e. AND/OR gates) which enables power and signal when appropriate inputs are present. For example with the laparoscopic fE;ature, if the ultrasonics of handheld device 35 is activated, a signal is sent to the aspiration system thereby enabling the aspiration system to supply vacuum. Similarly for the tissue release feature, when the power to the ultrasonics is disabled, vacuum is maintained by aspiration system by power supplied through the circuitry of enable circuit 94.
Other features of console 10 include a foot switch 96 for enabling one or more of the systems de:>cribed hereinabove.
It is also contemplated that the console 10 be configured with a quiet state 1.5 noise reduction mode. This mode will temporarily deactivate one or more of the higher decibel systems of the console, such as, e.g. the suction system, based on predetermined conditior.~s. For example, if the surgeon has not keyed the ultrasonics on for a predetermined time period, e.g. 2~I0 minutes, the console will temporarily go into the noise reduction mode by deactivating the suction system.
21) This mode substantially enhances the operating room conditions by quieting unnecessary noise.
It will be understood that various modifications may be made to the embodiments disclosed Jzerein. For example, other mechanisms may be used to allow adjustability of head 14 such as a spring loaded linkage for assisting in 2:i moving and maintaining the head in the desired position. Further, screen text may be displayed in various ;languages to provide additional convenience to operators.
Therefore, the above description should not be construed as limiting, but merely as exemplifications of preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art will envision other modifications within the scope and spirit of the claims appended hereto.
