Claims15
A control device that is connectable to a surgical instrument and controls the surgical instrument,
- wherein, when the surgical instrument is connected, a quality of the surgical instrument is determined by performing a plurality of different tests.
A control device that is connectable to a liquid ejection mechanism having an identifier and outputs a control signal for controlling the liquid ejection mechanism, comprising:
- a first test unit that applies a first voltage to the liquid ejection mechanism;
- an identification unit that identifies the identifier;
- and
- a second test unit that applies a second voltage higher than the first voltage to the liquid ejection mechanism,
- wherein the second test unit operates after operations of the first test unit and the identification unit.
A test method of medical equipment including a surgical instrument having an identifier and a control device that outputs a driving signal to the surgical instrument, the method comprising:
- applying a first voltage to the surgical instrument;
- identifying the identifier;
- and
- applying a second voltage higher than the first voltage to the surgical instrument,
- wherein the application of the second voltage is performed after the application of the first voltage and the identification of the identifier.
