Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An electrosurgical generator is provided and includes an RF energy output module and an energy request detection module both in communication with one or more processors of the electrosurgical generator. The RF energy module outputting RF energy through a first transformer, and the energy request detection module in electrical communication with primary windings of a second transformer. An electrosurgical instrument is provided and includes a housing, at least one treatment member and one or more switches. The switch is in electrical communication with the first transformer and is coupled to secondary windings of the second transformer such that when the at least one switch is moved to a closed configuration the energy detection module detects an occurrence at the second transformer and provides a signal to the at least one processor to transmit electrosurgical energy to the electrosurgical instrument.
