==MOTOR CONTROL OF SURGICAL INSTRUMENT SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17958008 titled 'MOTOR CONTROL OF SURGICAL INSTRUMENT SYSTEMS

==Simplified Explanation==

The surgical instrument system described in the patent application includes a motor system and a control circuit. The motor system consists of a motor and a drive train that can activate a firing member through a staple firing stroke. The control circuit is connected to the motor and includes a motor controller that regulates the motor. During the staple firing stroke, the control circuit is designed to activate the firing member, monitor a motor system parameter, identify the active adjustment portion of the staple firing stroke, and automatically adjust tuning parameters of the motor controller based on the monitored parameter.

* Motor system with motor and drive train for staple firing stroke
* Control circuit with motor controller for regulating motor
* Automatic adjustment of tuning parameters during active adjustment portion of staple firing stroke

== Potential Applications ==
The technology described in the patent application could be applied in various surgical instruments, such as staplers used in medical procedures.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology solves the problem of ensuring precise and consistent staple firing strokes during surgical procedures by automatically adjusting tuning parameters of the motor controller.

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include improved accuracy and reliability in staple firing strokes, which can lead to better surgical outcomes and reduced risk of complications.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
* "Automatic Tuning System for Surgical Staplers" - Optimizing staple firing strokes for improved surgical precision and outcomes.

== Possible Prior Art ==
There may be prior art related to motor systems in surgical instruments, but specific examples are not provided in this patent application.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

=== How does the automatic adjustment of tuning parameters improve the performance of the surgical instrument system? ===

The automatic adjustment of tuning parameters ensures that the motor system operates at optimal levels during the staple firing stroke, leading to more precise and consistent staple placement.

=== What types of surgical procedures could benefit most from this technology? ===

Surgical procedures that involve a high volume of stapling, such as gastrointestinal surgeries or bariatric procedures, could benefit the most from this technology due to the need for accurate and reliable staple placement.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A surgical instrument system comprising a motor system and a control circuit is disclosed. The motor system comprises a motor and a drive train coupleable to the motor and configured to actuate a firing member through a staple firing stroke. The control circuit is coupled to the motor, wherein the control circuit comprises a motor controller configured to control the motor, and wherein, during the staple firing stroke, the control circuit is configured to actuate the firing member through the staple firing stroke, monitor a parameter of the motor system during the staple firing stroke, identify when the firing member is within an active adjustment portion of the staple firing stroke; and automatically adjust, at a frequency, tuning parameters of the motor controller with based on the monitored parameter of the motor system during the active adjustment portion of the staple firing stroke.
