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.

Claims (37)

1. A surgical system for use in a surgical procedure, wherein the surgical system comprises:

a modular surgical device comprising at least one sensor;

at least one data source; and

a surgical hub configured to communicably couple to the at least one data source and the modular surgical device, wherein the surgical hub comprises a control circuit configured to:

receive a sensed parameter from the at least one sensor of the modular surgical device;

receive data from the at least one data source, wherein the data is determinative of a progress status of the surgical procedure;

perform an adjusted response, by the control circuit, based on the sensed parameter and the data determinative of the progress status of the surgical procedure, wherein the adjusted response configures an operational parameter of the modular surgical device based on the sensed parameter and the data determinative of the progress status of the surgical procedure; and

cause the surgical hub to enter a predetermined interactive control mode based on the data determinative of the progress status of the surgical procedure.

2. The surgical system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one data source comprises a patient monitoring device.

3. The surgical system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one data source comprises a surgical staff detection device.

4. The surgical system of claim 1 , wherein the progress status comprises a preoperative status while the surgical procedure is in preoperative steps.

5. The surgical system of claim 1 , wherein the progress status comprises an intraoperative status while the surgical procedure is in intraoperative steps.

6. The surgical system of claim 1 , wherein the sensed parameter comprises a fault detection parameter.

7. The surgical system of claim 1 , wherein the sensed parameter comprises a surgeon detection parameter of the modular surgical device.

8. The surgical system of claim 1 , wherein the sensed parameter comprises a security-threat detection parameter.

9. A surgical hub for use in a surgical procedure, wherein the surgical hub is configured to communicably couple to at least one data source, a sensor system, and a surgical instrument, and wherein the surgical hub comprises:

a control circuit configured to:

receive a sensed parameter from the sensor system;

receive data from the at least one data source, wherein the data is determinative of a progress status of the surgical procedure;

perform an adjusted response, by the control circuit, based on the sensed parameter and the data determinative of the progress status of the surgical procedure, wherein the adjusted response configures an operational parameter of the modular surgical device based on the sensed parameter and the data determinative of the progress status of the surgical procedure; and

cause the surgical hub to enter a predetermined interactive control mode based on the data determinative of the progress status of the surgical procedure.

10. The surgical hub of claim 9 , wherein the at least one data source comprises a patient monitoring device.

11. The surgical hub of claim 9 , wherein the at least one data source comprises a surgical staff detection device.

12. The surgical hub of claim 9 , wherein the progress status comprises a preoperative status while the surgical procedure is in preoperative steps.

13. The surgical hub of claim 9 , wherein the progress status comprises an intraoperative status while the surgical procedure is in intraoperative steps.

14. The surgical hub of claim 9 , wherein the sensed parameter comprises a modular device fault-detection parameter.

15. The surgical hub of claim 9 , wherein the sensed parameter comprises a surgeon detection parameter.

16. The surgical hub of claim 9 , wherein the sensed parameter comprises a security-threat detection parameter.

17. A surgical hub for use in a surgical procedure, wherein the surgical hub is configured to communicably couple to at least one data source, and a modular surgical device, and wherein the surgical hub comprises:

a control circuit configured to:

receive a sensed parameter from an at least one sensor of the modular surgical device;

receive data from the at least one data source, wherein the data is determinative of a situational parameter of the surgical procedure;

perform an adjusted response, by the control circuit, based on the sensed parameter and the data determinative of the situational parameter of the surgical procedure, wherein the adjusted response configures an operational parameter of the modular surgical device based on the sensed parameter and the data determinative of the progress status of the surgical procedure; and

cause the surgical hub to enter a predetermined interactive control mode based on the data determinative of the situational parameter of the surgical procedure.

18. The surgical hub of claim 17 , wherein the sensed parameter comprises a modular device fault-detection parameter.

19. The surgical hub of claim 17 , wherein the sensed parameter comprises a surgeon detection parameter.

20. The surgical hub of claim 17 , wherein the sensed parameter comprises a security-threat detection parameter.
