摘要：
Devices and methods are described herein for providing enhanced power to a surgical device from a secondary power supply that operates in parallel to a primary power supply that provides power for therapeutic functions of the device. The secondary power supply can provide additional power for the therapeutic functions of the device, and/or it can provide power for non-therapeutic functions of the device such as sensors, displays, motors, etc. Subsystems powered by the primary power supply can be wholly isolated from subsystems powered by the secondary power supply, thus helping to prevent faults in one subsystem from affecting the other and providing secondary power without the need to modify the subsystems powered by the primary power supply. According to any of the systems described herein, additional power can thus be supplied to the device without affecting the structure and/or function of existing subsystems configured to supply primary power.
