Abstract

The present invention relates to a system and a method for controlling an electrotherapy device comprising a power supply (1), a generator (2) of a radiofrequency (RF) electric voltage, a neutral electrode (3) and a capacitive electrode (4) and/ or resistive electrode (5) connected to the generator (2) and intended to transfer energy to a patient's body by means of contact therewith. The system comprises a software control module (6) connected to the generator (2), a hardware detection circuit (7) designed to detect radiofrequency voltage and current values on the neutral electrode (3), on the capacitive electrode (4) and/or on the resistive electrode (5) independently, the hardware detection circuit (7) being connected to the software control module (6) and to a protection block (9) of the power supply (1), so as to communicate the current and/ or voltage values to the software module and to the protection block. The software control module (6) and the power supply protection block (9) are configured to determine and transmit a respective enabling or disabling command to the radiofrequency voltage generator (2), the enabling or disabling command of the software control module (6) being determined independently of the enabling or disabling command of the power supply protection block (9).
