PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a therapeutic treatment apparatus capable of highly accurately controlling heating temperature for living tissue without malfunction.SOLUTION: In the therapeutic treatment apparatus for heating a transfer part by way of a heat generating chip arranged in the heat transfer part, the temperature T1 of the heat generating member of the heat generating chip and the temperature T2 of the heat generating part measured by a thermocouple are acquired. If power P supplied to the heat generating chip is greater than a threshold value Pth, processes from step S102 to step S107 are performed. That is, power P to be supplied is set based on power P1 calculated in step S104 by using the temperature T1 of the heat generating member. As a result, the heat generating member is prevented from abnormally increasing to a high temperature. Conversely, when power P supplied to the heat generating chip is equal to or below the threshold value Pth, the processes from step S108 to step S111 are performed. That is, power P to be supplied is set based on power P2 calculated in step S109 by using the temperature T2 of the thermocouple. As a result, the temperature of the heat transfer part can be controlled highly accurately by using the highly accurate thermocouple.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】故障なく生体組織の加熱温度制御を高精度に行える治療用処置装置を提供する。【解決手段】伝熱部に配置された発熱チップによって当該伝熱部を加熱する治療用処置装置において、発熱チップの発熱部材の温度T1と、熱電対で計測した伝熱部の温度をT2とを取得する。発熱チップへの投入電力Pが閾値Pthよりも大きいとき、ステップS102乃至ステップS107の処理を行う。すなわち、発熱部材の温度T1を用いてステップS104において算出した電力P1に基づいて、投入電力Pを設定する。その結果、発熱部材が異常に高温になることを防げる。一方、発熱チップへの投入電力Pが閾値Pth以下のとき、ステップS108乃至ステップS111の処理を行う。すなわち、熱電対の温度T2を用いてステップS109において算出した電力P2に基づいて、投入電力Pを設定する。その結果、高精度な熱電対を用いて伝熱部の温度を高精度に制御できる。【選択図】図8
