摘要：
The current invention relates to a method for detecting a limit of use of a medical device comprising the steps of starting a timer of a medical device when said medical device is used for the first time, detecting the limit of use of the medical device and indicating the limit of use of the medical device. The technical problem of providing a method and a medical device, the safety of which is further increased and at the same time the limit of use is not prematurely induced is solved by a generic method wherein the limit of use is reached when at least one of a first criterion and a second criterion is met, wherein the first criterion is that the timer reaches or exceeds a time limit and wherein the second criterion is that at least one operation of a drive train of said medical device reaches or exceeds a limit. The technical problem is further solved by a medical device for performing a method according to the invention.
