- the resistance is substantially zero with respect to the current flowing from the second signal path K2 to the first signal path K1 (flowing in the direction of arrow i6 in FIG. 10).
- the current passes through the energy switch 48 and does not pass through the energy operation detection unit 75 and the movement detection unit 76. Therefore, when the detection switch 47 is in the open state and the energy switch 48 is in the closed state, the analog signal is operated with the energy only when the analog signal is output from the inspection signal generation unit 77 toward the first signal path K1. It passes through the detection unit 75 and the movement detection unit 76.

For this reason, when an analog signal is output from the inspection signal generation unit 77 toward the first signal path K1, the current passes through the detection switch 47 and does not pass through the energy operation detection unit 75 and the movement detection unit 76. When an analog signal is output from the inspection signal generation unit 77 toward the second signal path K2, the current passes through the energy switch 48 and does not pass through the energy operation detection unit 75 and the movement detection unit 76.

- the temporary peak value is the target peak.
- the ultrasonic impedance value Z continuously decreases from the temporary peak value Z1 after the gradual decrease start time t1. Then, the decrease amount ⁇ 1real of the ultrasonic impedance value Z during the elapse of the reference time ⁇ T1 from the elapsed time t1 at the start of gradual decrease is equal to or greater than the reference decrease amount ⁇ 1. Therefore, in the example illustrated in FIG. 13, the peak determination unit 57 determines that the temporary peak value Z1 is the target peak.

Is judged.
- the decrease amount ⁇ real of the ultrasonic impedance value Z from the temporary peak value is equal to or greater than the reference decrease amount ⁇ , and the ultrasonic impedance value Z is
- the increase amount ⁇ real from is not equal to or greater than the reference increase amount ⁇ , it is determined that the temporary peak value is the target peak.
- the ultrasonic impedance value Z does not gradually increase after the gradual decrease start time t1.
- the decrease amount ⁇ 1real of the ultrasonic impedance value Z is not less than the reference decrease amount ⁇ 1 without increasing by the reference increase amount ⁇ from the elapsed time t1 at the start of gradual decrease and while the reference time ⁇ T1 elapses.

Also in the example shown in FIG. 16, comparison and determination are performed after the elapsed time t4, which is the start of gradual reduction, as in the example shown in FIG.

Further, the comparison of the temporal change of the ultrasonic impedance value Z after the start of gradual decrease with respect to the temporary peak value (step S123) and the determination of whether or not the temporary peak value is the target peak (step S124) are described above.

- the time when the ultrasonic impedance value Z starts to be gradually decreased is detected, and the ultrasonic impedance value Z at the time of the gradually decreasing start is held as a temporary peak value. Then, by comparing the temporal change of the ultrasonic impedance value Z after the start of the gradual decrease with respect to the temporary peak value, it is determined whether or not the held temporary peak value is the target peak to be detected. Yes. For this reason, it is possible to appropriately detect the target peak regardless of the size of the target peak (target peak value) generated due to the separation. Therefore, it is possible to appropriately determine whether or not the treatment target U has been separated in the treatment of the treatment target U gripped between the treatment portion 17 and the jaw 18 using ultrasonic vibration.

Therefore, the peak detection unit 53 does not detect the target peak at the time (for example, t3) when the peak (for example, Z3) due to the contact and separation of the contact part 45 with the treatment target U occurs. For this reason, even when a peak (for example, Z3) different from the target peak (for example, Z4) occurs before the target peak (for example, Z4), the target peak can be appropriately detected.
