Abstract
A surgical device having an apparatus with a generator and an instrument supplied by a generator. A sensor is part of the device that is attached to the patient, for example to an extremity thereof, during surgery to detect the movement of the patient. The sensor is connected with a control device that modifies the operation of generator and particularly switches the generator off, if the sensor detects a movement of the patient exceeding a threshold. Injuries of patient that could occur by involuntary twitches during surgery process are thus avoided.
