Abstract
An adapter configured to receive a drive signal from a control console and to provide the drive signal to an ultrasonic surgical handpiece. The adapter includes a receptacle for receiving the ultrasonic surgical handpiece and providing the drive signal to the ultrasonic surgical handpiece. The adapter includes a module for detecting a presence of the ultrasonic surgical handpiece and a connector to be inserted into a receptacle of the control console to receive the drive signal from the control console. The adapter includes a radio-frequency identification device coupled to the connector and to a memory storing a maximum and minimum frequency for driving the ultrasonic surgical handpiece. The radio-frequency identification device transmits the maximum and minimum frequency from the memory to the control console via the connector using an RFID protocol in response to the module detecting the presence of the ultrasonic surgical handpiece.
