The outside for being stored in the internal storage of processor and/or being connected to shank processor 2124 is performed in shank processor 2124
Software and/or firmware instructions in memory chip/circuit.At step 202, shank processor 2124 is for the so-called " longevity
Life event " monitors the input signal of the sensor from apparatus 2100.Life-span event is to be related to shank module 2102 and/or DSM
2104 event or action, wherein once reaching the life-span event of number of thresholds, shank module 2102 just should be withdrawn (i.e.,
Do not use).Life-span event can be the clamping of end effector, the percussion of end effector, the combination of these events, and/or
It is related to shank module 2102 and/or DSM 2104 other events or action, the event or action can be sensed by apparatus 2100
Arrive.For example, opening switch 2144, closure switch 2146 and the percussion switch 2148 of shank module 2102 can be connected to shank processing
Device 2124.Except or replace described above, status switch 2150 that fixture in DSM 2104 is opened, the state of fixture closure are opened
Close 2152, percussion start status switch 2154 and percussion done state switch 2156 can be connected to shank processor 2124 (via
Interface 2110).According to the design and application of shank module 2102 and apparatus 2100, when some or all of these respective switch
When being activated, and/or being activated in the particular sequence detected by shank processor 2124, life-span event may occur and
It can be counted.For example, in various specific implementations, the fixture closure each detected and the percussion each detected can be counted
Number is life-span event.In other words, the fixture closure detected may include the first life-span event, and the percussion detected can wrap
Include second or different life-span events.In other specific implementations, fixture closure, the countable sequence for being followed by firing are the life-span
Event.In addition, as described above, shank processor 2124 can be used for example from shank sensor 2144,2146,2148 and/or
The input of DSM sensors 2150,2152,2154,2156 detects life-span event.
Shank processor 2124 keeps the counting of life-span event.When detecting life-span event, at step 204, shank
Processor 2124 is incremented by the currency of the life-span event counter in its internal or external memory.Counter can be incremented by
Counter, wherein when life-span event occurs when meeting presetting threshold value, counting, which increases by one, counts and (is incremented by+1)；Or
Counter can be down counter, wherein when life-span event occurs to count different from presetting threshold value until from end
Value reaches specific end counting (for example, zero) after starting when, count reduction one and count (incremental -1).In view of as the life-span
The particular sensor event of event count, presetting life-span event count threshold can be arranged to the system of shank module 2102
Make the desired any value of business.
If life-span event counter reaches presetting life-span event threshold at step 206, at step 208,
Shank processor 2124 can initiate one or more end-of-life actions, such as make the display 2114 or one of shank module 2102
Other a little displays (for example, the visible mechanical counter of user) for example communicate with shank processor 2124, to indicate shank mould
Block 2102 is depleted and (is in end of life) and should recall.Any suitable vision, tactile and/or the sense of hearing can be used to refer to
Show.For example, display 2114 may include that instruction has reached the icon and/or text of the end of life of shank module.Display
2114 can also indicate life-span event (completely, close to sky etc.) by numerical monitor or volume cue mark on the basis of progress
Count, such as so that user can monitor shank module whether close to its life cycle terminal.Except or instead of life-span event meter
Several constant displays, display 2114 can have icon and/or show shank module close to its life-span using text
Terminal (for example, " N uses left ").Shank processor 2124 can also initiate to prevent from further using when reaching end of life and counting
The condition of shank module 2102, as further discussed below.If not yet reach end of life counting, shank processor 2124
Continuing with life counter event monitoring switch and sensor, until reaching end-of-life threshold value.
The various specific implementations of sensor can be used to detect some life-span events.For example, used DSM (for example,
3) DSM 1,2 may include two drive shafts, one is used to drive closed-system, and one is used to drive trigger system (each
From respectively by a driving in drive system 20,40).Each such drive shaft can be respectively during clamping or percussion event
Drive forwards bracket.Therefore, closure and/or trigger system may include when closure or percussion bracket (depending on the circumstances) contact them
When the switch that is triggered.Switch can be connected to shank processor 2124, and shank processor 2124 can control oneself in its reception
Registration life-span event count during the signal for the switch being triggered.Switch can be can automatically reset button switch, the switch exists
Its bracket driven every time by drive shaft can all reset when contacting and triggering.
Further described above, ' 590 applications, which describe DSM 1-3, may include a pair to be used to drive various differences
The DSM of type closure and the driving screw of trigger system.The example of such driving screw pair is shown in ' 590 applications, in its figure
Opening linear stitching unstrument is directed at 34- Figure 37, for bending cutter stitching unstrument at its Figure 38-Figure 41, and in its figure
Circular surgical staplers are directed at 42- Figure 45.Other DSM types, such as straight cuts suitable for shank module can also be used
Device and/or right angle stitching unstrument.Because different DSM can be used together with shank module, so shank module is (for example, at shank
Reason device 2124) more complicated algorithm can be used to follow the trail of the use of shank module and residual life, this depends on using and firing respectively
The DSM of type number.For example, in one illustrates, shank processor 2124 can calculate the life-span event point built up
Number, the fraction are differently weighted (for example, depending on their pressure in shank module such as by different DSM to using
What), and by fraction compared with predetermined threshold value.When the fraction of shank module reaches threshold value, shank module is removed
Return (for example, taking one or more end-of-lifes to act).For example, shank processor 2124 can be based on following relation mathematic(al) expectation
Event score：
The different DSM types that wherein i=1 ... N represents to be used together from shank module are (for example, straight cuts device, line
Sexual openness formula, circle, bending, right angle stitching unstrument etc.), Wi is DSM types i weighting factor, and Fi, j are to be related to DSM classes
Type i j=1 ... DSM types i percussion quantity in S programs.The DSM types for generally applying smaller stress in shank module can
With the low weight W of the DSM types than generally applying bigger stress in shank module.So, in various arrangements, all
In the case of other conditions identical, the shank of the less program of stress will be only used for by being only used for the shank module of high stress program

In, whether the gross energy that processor monitoring is consumed by shank module exceedes various threshold values (referring to Figure 10 D), while monitoring handle
Whether portion's module has a number of percussion higher than threshold power level (referring to Figure 10 E).When having met the two
During part, in the case of at least one, shank processor can conclude that shank module is in its end of life.In some cases, handle
Portion's processor can utilize any amount of multifactor test (each test has threshold value) to determine whether shank module is in it
End of life.In the case of at least one, if having met or can determine that it more than any test threshold, shank processor
Its end of life is reached.
After program, shank processor may be implemented within firmware in internally and/or externally memory and/or
Software performs Figure 10 C processing to determine whether shank module is in its end of life.At step 290, shank processor
The energy that shank module is accumulated during its life-span can be entered with first threshold energy grade (that is, the energy grade 1 in Figure 10 D)
Row compares.For example, energy grade 1 can be 40kJ.Shank module may include the one or more motors for being connected to shank module
Microwatt or power meter to measure and record the electrical parameter of one or more motors so that the energy and work(of one or more motors
Rate output can be determined.If for example, met or exceeded first threshold energy grade (that is, energy grade 1), then shank processor
It can determine that shank module is in its end of life and initiated end-of-life action, all longevity as described herein at step 291
Order one or more of termination action.
If shank processor determines that first threshold energy grade (that is, energy grade 1) not yet meets at step 290,
Then processing is advanced to step 292, and wherein shank module determines whether to have met second (for example, relatively low) energy threshold, i.e. figure
Energy grade 2 in 10D.For example, energy grade 2 can be 30kJ.If meet or exceed Second Threshold energy grade (without
Meet or exceed first threshold energy grade), then processing is advanced to step 293, and wherein shank processor determines that shank module exists
Whether have been subjected to, more than a number of percussion of the first power level threshold, be greater than 55 watts twice during its life-span
Percussion is (referring to Figure 10 E).If met or met more than the second energy grade threshold value and power level threshold or
More than predetermined number, then shank processor can determine that shank module is in its end of life.If however, power level
Threshold value not yet meets or more than predetermined number, even if then having met or more than the second energy grade threshold value, at shank
Reason device also can determine that shank module not yet reaches its end of life.Step 292 and 293 double factor can be to shank module
Another test in life-span, and if shank module can not carry out two tests simultaneously and (that is, meet two threshold values or bar
Part), then it can determine that shank module is in its end of life.
Shank processor can perform any amount of such double factor test.Figure 10 C example show one it is other
Such double factor test.If step 292 and 293 double factor are unsatisfactory for, processing can be advanced to step 294, its
Middle shank module determines whether to have met the 3rd (for example, still lower) energy threshold, i.e. energy grade 3.For example, energy etc.
Level 3 can be 25kJ.If the 3rd threshold energy level has been met or exceeded (without meeting or exceeding the 3rd threshold energy etc.
Level), then processing is advanced to step 295, and wherein shank processor determines whether shank module has a fixed number during its life-span
The percussion (quantity for being preferably greater than the such percussion checked at step 293) of amount, the quantity is more than the second power level
Threshold value (it can be identical or different with the power level threshold at step 293 place), it is greater than 55 watts of four percussions.Step
294 and 295 double factor can be another test to shank module life, and if shank module can not be entered simultaneously
Two tests (that is, having met threshold value or condition) of row, then can determine that shank module is in its end of life.Otherwise, at shank
Reason device can determine that shank module is not at its end of life and can used in subsequent program.
It is readily apparent that the step of Figure 10 C can be performed in various orders, while still realize identical result.For example,
Step 294 and 295 can perform before step 290, by that analogy.

Baseline is established, and parameter threshold is established relative to the baseline.In some cases, the control system of shank module can be assessed pair
In the pattern or trend of the data of the first gain of parameter, and assessing to adjust the threshold of the second parameter based on the first supplemental characteristic
Value.In the case of at least one, control system can be established baseline by the sensing data of the first parameter, and be built relative to the baseline
The threshold value of vertical second parameter.In addition, many threshold values are described herein as including two scopes, i.e. the first model less than threshold value
Enclose and the second scope higher than threshold value.Threshold value can be a part for the first scope or the second scope in itself, and this depends on situation.
That is, as described herein, threshold value may include three scopes, i.e. the first scope less than minimum value, higher than the of maximum
Two scopes, and the 3rd scope between minimum value and maximum.If the sensing data for parameter is in the range of first,
Then control system can take the first action, and if the sensing data of parameter is in the range of second, then control system can adopt
The second action is taken, second action may or may not be identical with the first action.If the sensing data of parameter is in the 3rd model
In enclosing, then control system can take the 3rd action, and this may not include any action.According to circumstances, minimum value can be
A part for first scope or the 3rd scope, and according to circumstances, maximum can be one of the 3rd scope or the second scope
Point.If for example, sensing data in the range of first, at least one embodiment, control system can be a side
Threshold value is adapted to upwards, and if sensing data in the range of second, then control system can adapt to threshold value in the opposite direction,
And if sensing data in the range of the 3rd, then control system may be not suitable with threshold value.
