摘要:
A method for operating a surgical instrument includes providing a surgical end effector at a distal end of a handle of the surgical instrument. During the method of operation, an authentication controller within the handle is electrically connected to a receiving portion of the end effector. An interchangeable part is removably placed at the receiving portion. The method further includes authenticating the interchangeable part with the authentication controller when the interchangeable part is seated in the end effector.
