Abstract

A method for operating an ultrasound device (1) is proposed, which ultrasound device (1) comprises at least one ultrasound oscillator (3) and at least one ultrasound generator (2), which ultrasound oscillator (3) is prompted to oscillate by the ultrasound generator (2), which method is distinguished in that during operation of the ultrasound device (1) a temperature (T) of the ultrasound oscillator (3) is ascertained, and in that the ascertained temperature (T) is taken as a basis for modifying a power delivered by the ultrasound generator (2) to the ultrasound oscillator (3), to which end an actual variable (IL, ILS) and/or a setpoint variable (SL) for a control loop of the ultrasound generator (2) is/are altered in said control loop. In addition, a regulatory circuit (6) for an ultrasound device (1) and also an ultrasound device (1) are proposed which are suitable for carrying out the method.
