A supplemental accessory used in a surgical procedure is energized in relation to activating a surgical unit used to perform the surgical procedure, by energizing the supplemental accessory after expiration of a predetermined turn- on time delay from the time when the surgical unit was activated. The supplemental accessory is energized after expiration of a basic fixed amount of time elapsing after the surgical unit has been activated, or after the surgical unit has been activated for a predetermined percentage less than all of the basic fixed amount of time, or after the surgical unit has been activated a predetermined multiple number of times during the basic fixed amount of time. The supplemental accessory is deenergized after the expiration of a predetermined turn-off time delay after the surgical unit was last deactivated or after the supplemental accessory was first energized, whichever occurs later.
