<p>An electrosurgical generator having circuitry and a method for reducing RF leakage to an acceptable level. The invention utilizes an isolated output configuration and two separate methods of monitoring the output waveforms. The first method utilizes the output voltage to determine if the generator should operate in a RF leakage reduction mode or not. If the output voltage applied to the patient is low, lower than a preset level, then the generator will operate normally. If the output voltage applied to the patient is higher than the preset level, then the generator will operate in the leakage reduction mode. The second method utilizes the output current to determine whether the generator should operate in the RF leakage reduction mode. If the output current applied to the patient is low, lower than a preset level, the generator will operate in the RF leakage reduction mode. If the output current applied to the patient is higher than the preset level, then the generator will operate normally. <IMAGE></p> |
