    Abstract: A telesurgical system may comprise a teleoperated manipulator and a control system to execute instructions to perform operations. The operations may comprise determining a remaining usable life value of a surgical instrument. The surgical instrument may comprise a distal end component and an actuation component coupled to move the distal end component when driven by the teleoperated manipulator. The operations may also comprise monitoring an amount of use of the actuation component during a use of the surgical instrument. Monitoring the amount of use of the actuation component comprises determining the amount of use of the actuation component based on a force or torque on the actuation component. The operations may also comprise updating the remaining usable life value to an updated usable life value of the surgical instrument based at least on the amount of use of the actuation component during the use of the surgical instrument.

    Abstract: A telesurgical system operates in a first operating mode and in a second operating mode. In the first operating mode, a moveable component is driven within a first range of an operating parameter. In the second operating mode, the moveable component is driven with a second range of the operating parameter, less than the first range. Usable instrument life is increased by decreasing mechanical degradation of the moveable component as a result of operating in the second range. A surgeon may select either operating mode.

    Abstract: A medical device can include a working end comprising a jaw mechanism configured to perform a clamping function and a translating cutting mechanism configured to perform a cutting function in response to translating movement of the translating cutting mechanism. The medical device can further include at least two user-actuated input mechanisms, and a computer processor operably coupled to the working end and to the at least two user-actuated control input mechanisms. In an operational state, the computer processor commands a movement of the translating cutting mechanism through a first range of motion in response to a first command received from actuation of a first of the at least two user-actuated control input mechanisms, and commands a movement of the translating cutting mechanism through a second range of motion in response to at least a second command received from actuation of at least a second of the at least two user-actuated control input mechanisms, the second range of motion being different from the first range of motion.
