Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2023280905A1] The invention relates to an ultrasonic generator for feeding electrical power for fragmenting calculi, wherein the ultrasonic generator is assigned at least one sonotrode and the at least one sonotrode is detachably connectable to the ultrasonic generator, and the ultrasonic generator is assigned a vibrator for exciting a resonant vibration of the at least one sonotrode and the vibrator is excitable at a vibration frequency by supplying an AC voltage by means of the ultrasonic generator, wherein the ultrasonic generator comprises measuring equipment for measuring a specific resonant frequency of the at least one sonotrode such that, in the case of a connection, the specific resonant frequency of the at least one sonotrode is determinable by means of the measuring equipment and/or the at least one sonotrode is identifiable on account of the determined specific resonant frequency. Moreover, the invention relates to a lithotripsy device, a lithotripsy system and a method for identifying a sonotrode.
