Patent attributes
A powered surgical stapler comprising a housing, a motor, an actuator movable between an unactuated state and an actuated state, a counter, an elongate shaft, a lockout system, a firing member, a display, and an end effector comprising a first jaw, a second jaw, a channel, a staple cartridge, and an anvil is disclosed. The second jaw is movable from an open position toward a closed position when the actuator is in the actuated state. The firing member translates through the staple cartridge during a firing stroke. The display displays the position of the firing member, a locked-out condition where the firing member is prevented from performing a firing stroke, and an actuation count comprising the number of firing strokes performed by the firing member. The firing member is placed in the locked-out condition when the second jaw is not in the closed position.
