Systems and methods for simulating previous use of surgical instruments based on the obtained surgical instrument data

摘要

A surgical system (10,20), comprising:a surgical instrument (100) configured, in use thereof, to generate usage data and time-stamp information;a processing component (900, 800, 700, 600, 500, 400) configured to receive the usage data and time-stamp information from the surgical instrument, the processing component configured to generate a simulation (1000, 2000) of the prior use of the surgical instrument based upon the usage data and time-stamp information; anda display component (510, 610, 710, 910) operably coupled to the processing component and configured to visually display:at least one of a slideshow or an animation based on the usage data and time-stamp information.
