SAFETY SYSTEMS FOR SMART POWERED SURGICAL STAPLING

Abstract: a surgical system comprises a control circuit, a surgical instrument and a user interface is disclosed. the end effector assembly may comprise a sensor configured to detect a parameter associated with a function of the end effector, and transmit the detected parameter to the control circuit. further, the control circuit may be configured to analyze the detected parameter based on a system-defined constraint and prevent at least one function of the surgical instrument based on a result of the analysis. the user interface may be configured to provide a current status regarding at least one prevented function of the surgical instrument.
