A treatment system can include a treatment tool including an ultrasound transducer and an end effector. The system can also include an ultrasound power source configured to output a drive signal to the ultrasound transducer, and a processor configured to detect an abnormality in the end effector, and whether end effector is immersed in a liquid. The system can continue an output of the drive signal from the ultrasound power source to the ultrasound transducer when the abnormality is detected and the end effector is immersed in the liquid.
