Abstract: A method of operating a surgical instrument is disclosed. The surgical instrument includes an electronic system comprising an electric motor coupled to the end effector; a motor controller coupled to the motor; a parameter threshold detection module configured to monitor multiple parameter thresholds; a sensing module configured to sense tissue compression; a processor coupled to the parameter threshold detection module and the motor controller; and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory stores executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to monitor multiple levels of action thresholds and monitor speed of the motor and increment a drive unit of the motor, sense tissue compression, and provide rate and control feedback to the user of the surgical instrument.

Abstract: A surgical instrument includes an end effector, a drive assembly operably coupled to the end effector, and a replaceable motor cartridge that includes a motor control circuit board and a motor. The surgical instrument further includes a main control circuit board including a processor and a computer-readable storage device storing program instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to detect a malfunction of the motor cartridge. The surgical instrument also includes an interface including a mechanical interface portion configured to releasably couple the motor to the drive assembly and an electrical interface portion configured to releasably couple the motor control circuit board to the main control circuit board.

Abstract: A surgical cutting and fastening device is disclosed including a handle assembly, a power supply, and a control circuit. The handle assembly includes a motor configured to drive a cutting member. The control circuit operably couples the power supply and the motor. A firing switch allows the power supply to provide power to the motor in a first energizing direction. A forward control circuit is configured to control current flow from the power supply to the motor. The forward control circuit includes a first flow path and a second flow path including a power control switch. The power control switch prevents current from flowing through the second flow path. The power control switch allows current to flow through the first flow path and the second flow path. A reverse flow path is configured to allow the power supply to provide power to the motor in a second energizing direction.

Abstract: A motorized surgical instrument is disclosed. The surgical instrument includes a displacement member configured to translate within the surgical instrument, a motor coupled to the displacement member to translate the displacement member, a sensor configured to sense a thickness of a tissue grasped by an end effector, and a control circuit coupled to the motor and the sensor. The control circuit is configured to retrieve an expected thickness of the tissue, determine the thickness of the tissue via the sensor, and set a duty cycle for driving the motor. The duty cycle corresponds to the thickness of the tissue relative to the expected thickness of the tissue.

Abstract: A cloud based analytics medical system is disclosed. The system includes a processor, a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, an input/output interface configured for accessing data from a plurality of surgical hubs and a database residing in the memory and configured to store the data. The surgical hub is communicatively coupled to the surgical instrument and the processor. The memory is configured to store instructions executable by the processor to receive critical data from the surgical hub as determined by the surgical hub based on screening criteria, determine a priority status of the critical data, route the critical data to a cloud storage location residing within the memory, and determine a response to the critical data based on an operational characteristic indicated by the critical data. A time component of the response is determined based on the priority status.
