PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus that include a thermal switch configured to electronically disable a single-use apparatus being an electrosurgical apparatus such as an electrosurgical device and an electrocautery so that it cannot be used a second time.SOLUTION: An electronic apparatus 10 includes a circuit portion 40 that is configured to control an operation of the electronic apparatus, and a heat-activated mechanical switch including, for example, a shape-memory material 20. The shape-memory material has a property of assuming a predetermined shape when the electronic apparatus is heated to a transition temperature. The shape-memory material disables the apparatus by acting on the circuit portion when assuming the predetermined shape. |
