This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18379762 titled 'SURGICAL STAPLING SYSTEMS WITH ADAPTIVE STAPLE FIRING ALGORITHMS
Original Abstract Submitted
A surgical system is configured to deploy staples from a staple cartridge reload into tissue. The surgical system includes a first sensor configured to measure a first parameter indicative of a force to form the staples, and a second sensor configured to measure a second parameter indicative of a position of a sled along a staple-forming distance. The system further includes a control circuit communicatively connected to a motor, the first sensor, and the second sensor, wherein the control circuit is configured to: receive a first signal from the first sensor indicative of the first parameter; receive a second signal from the second sensor indicative of the second parameter; and detect staple malformation of the staples based on the first signal and the second signals.
