Summary: | An electrosurgical generator for operating an electrosurgical instrument, wherein the electrosurgical generator includes a data storage device coupled to the control device for storing a warning time and a switch-off time, the warning and switch-off time each being assigned to a detected instrument in order to assign an instrument-specific warning and switch-off time to each detected instrument, a time tracking device for determining an instrument-specific activation duration, wherein the activation duration is a duration of time detected from a first connection or first activation of an electrosurgical instrument connected to the instrument terminal to an actual time value, and wherein an activation duration is detected for each detected instrument, and the activation duration is recorded continuously and independently of the electrosurgical instrument operating state, and the control device triggers warning indication by triggering the signaling device when the determined activation duration exceeds the instrument-specific warning time of the connected instrument. |
