Frederick E. Shelton, +2 more
TLDR
In this article, a surgical system for use in a surgical procedure is described, which includes a modular device, at least one data source, and a surgical hub configured to communicably couple to the at least at one source and the modular device.
Abstract: 
A surgical system for use in a surgical procedure is disclosed. The surgical system includes a modular device, at least one data source, and a surgical hub configured to communicably couple to the at least one data source and the modular device. The surgical hub comprises a control circuit configured to receive data from the at least one data source. The data is determinative of a progress status the surgical procedure. The control circuit is further configured to adjust a response to a sensed parameter based on the progress status.

Controlling a surgical instrument according to sensed closure parameters

Frederick E. Shelton, +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, a control circuit is configured to determine a value of the tissue compression parameter via the sensor as the jaws transition from the open configuration to the closed configuration, which causes the motor to increase a time to transition the jaws to a closed configuration according to whether the value of tissue compression parameters is above a first threshold, and provide feedback when the value is below a second threshold.
