Abstract
A surgical system includes a processor and a surgical instrument having an end effector assembly. The end effector assembly includes an ultrasonic blade operably coupled to an ultrasonic transducer for receiving ultrasonic energy produced by the ultrasonic transducer, and a jaw member pivotable relative to the ultrasonic blade between an open position and a closed position for clamping tissue between the ultrasonic blade and the jaw member. The end effector assembly is configured to be activated in an ultrasonic state, in a bipolar state, and in a monopolar state. The processor is configured to determine a use profile of the surgical instrument upon activation of the surgical instrument and, based on the determined use profile, to initiate at least one of the ultrasonic state, the bipolar state, or the monopolar state.
