Various methods are disclosed. One method includes reading an RFID card that is associated with a surgical instrument when the RFID card is located proximal to an RFID reader and initiating a wireless pairing process with the surgical instrument by the header module. Another method includes receiving an accessory at an accessory port of a modular energy system, communicating via a flexible serial communication interface coupled between a processor and the accessory port, the flexible serial communication interface configured to support multiple communication protocols, and detecting, by a presence detection circuit coupled between the accessory port and the processor, presence of the accessory connected to the accessory port. Other methods include a flexible serial bus power configuration method for a modular energy system and a remote power control interface method for a modular energy system.

Abstract:
Systems, methods and devices for initiating pairing of wireless surgical instruments to a modular energy system are disclosed herein. In various aspects, a modular energy system includes an a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader that is configured to read an RFID card that is uniquely associated with a surgical instrument. When the RFID reader reads the RFID card, the RFID reader initiates a wireless pairing process with the surgical instrument. Initiating the wireless pairing process may include causing the module energy system to wirelessly search for the surgical instrument and causing a display screen to display instructions for wirelessly pairing the surgical instrument.

International Classification:
A61B 17/34
Abstract:
A depth limiter that is configured to couple with a cannula of a surgical access device. The depth limiter includes first and second user contact portions and first and second biasing features. The first biasing feature includes a first resilient portion and a first gripping surface. The second biasing feature includes a second resilient portion and a second gripping surface. The first and second resilient portions are configured to move the respective first and second gripping surfaces from a fixed configuration to a movable configuration when the respective first and second user contact portions are actuated. In the fixed configuration, the first and second gripping surfaces collectively restrict axial movement of the depth limiter by directly contacting the cannula. In the movable configuration, the first and second gripping surfaces extend parallel to a longitudinal axis and allow for axial movement of the depth limiter relative to the cannula.

Abstract:
A surgical access device assembly. The assembly includes a cannula having a working channel and a helical tissue engagement feature disposed along an outer surface of the cannula and configured to stabilize the cannula relative to a body cavity wall of a patient. The assembly also includes a depth limiter movably coupled with the cannula. The depth limiter includes a body portion extending about a central axis of the depth limiter and including a protrusion extending radially inwardly relative to the central axis. The body portion is movable angularly relative to the cannula between a fine adjustment configuration and a coarse adjustment configuration. In the fine adjustment configuration the protrusion is configured to selectively threadably engage the helical tissue engagement feature. In the coarse adjustment configuration the protrusion is configured to selectively threadably disengage the helical tissue engagement feature such that the depth limiter is translatable axially along the cannula.

Abstract:
A depth limiter that is configured to couple with first and second trocar cannulas having different diameters. The depth limiter includes first and second body portions. First and second body portions each include first and second gripping surfaces. The first and second body portions are pivotably coupled together and are movable between an open configuration and a closed configuration. In the open configuration, the first and second body portions are configured to allow for axial movement of the depth limiter relative to the first and second trocar cannulas. The first gripping surfaces of the first and second body portions are configured to restrict axial movement of the depth limiter relative to the first trocar cannula in the closed configuration. The second gripping surfaces of the first and second body portions are configured to restrict axial movement of the depth limiter relative to the second trocar cannula in the closed configuration.
