METHOD FOR ACTIVATION MODE DETERMINATION OF AN ENERGY DEVICE

Abstract: systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for dynamically determining an activation mode (e.g., energy modality and/or energy level) of a surgical instrument based on monitored data. the surgical instrument may be a combination energy device capable of delivering ultrasonic energy and radiofrequency energy. the surgical instrument may monitor data associated with a surgical procedure. the surgical instrument may select an activation mode from the plurality of activation modes based on the monitored data. the surgical instrument may deliver energy of an energy modality associated with the selected activation mode. monitored data may include visual data, electrical data, and/or mechanical data.
