Claims
- 1. A method of setting a value of an output from an ultrasonic therapeutic apparatus and of treating an organic tissue by means of the ultrasonic therapeutic apparatus, wherein the ultrasonic therapeutic apparatus comprises an ultrasonic apparatus main body including a source of ultrasonic oscillations to produce ultrasonic waves, a hand piece removably connected to the ultrasonic apparatus main body, a probe which contacts an organic tissue and which is removably connected to the hand piece, and a cooling water supply which supplies cooling water to the probe, the method comprising the steps of:
- detecting whether or not a handpiece is connected to an ultrasonic apparatus main body;
- feeding cooling water to a probe connected to the hand piece when it is detected that the hand piece is connected to the ultrasonic apparatus main body;
- detecting whether or not a feedwater output value is fed to the probe; and
- then establishing a state where ultrasonic waves can be outputted to the probe so that ultrasonic treatment of organic tissue can be performed after said feedwater output value is fed to the probe.
- 2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising the step of urging an operator to feed cooling water to a probe beforehand, after detection of connection of a hand piece to the ultrasonic apparatus main body.
- 3. A method according to claim 1, wherein when it is detected that a handpiece is not connected to the ultrasonic apparatus main body, an instruction for an operator to connect a hand piece is displayed.
