Problems solved by technology

Additionally, in situations where instruments are disposable or interchangeable with handpieces, ultrasound and electrosurgical generators are limited in their ability to identify the specific instrument configuration being used and optimize control and diagnostic procedures accordingly
Furthermore, capacitive coupling of signals from the generator in circuits isolated from the patient can result in patient exposure to unacceptable levels of leakage current, especially in the case of higher voltage and frequency ranges

[0261] Example 1: Monitoring Frequency Slope Against Corresponding Thresholds

[0262]A first example scenario involves monitoring frequency slopes against respective thresholds and is shown in conjunction with FIGS. 23-28 . The simplest first example is one that triggers a set of responses based only on the frequency slope. Table 4 contains representative parameters for this purpose for a surgical instrument such as any of the surgical instruments 19, 190, 1000 disclosed herein including corresponding ultrasonic instruments (e.g., ultrasonic instruments 100, 120, 1004 disclosed herein). one.

[0276] Example 2: Triggering Response Collections Based Only on Frequency Thresholds

[0277] refer to Figure 29-35 , a second example scenario includes triggering a response set based only on a frequency threshold. Table 5 contains representative parameters for this purpose in conjunction with a surgical instrument, such as any of the surgical instruments 19, 190, 1000 disclosed herein including corresponding ultrasonic instruments (e.g., ultrasonic instruments 100, 120, 1004 disclosed herein). By. It should be understood that the usefulness of triggering via frequency thresholds may be limited due to the low characterization of dynamic end effector states, and is presented herein for the completeness of the disclosure. The inclusion of frequency slope in the tissue algorithms described in connection with logic flow diagrams 1200, 1300, 1400 is intended to be used in conjunction with the logic discussed in the next section of this specification (in conjunction with the u...

[0293] Example 3: Triggering Response Sets Based on Both Frequency Slope Threshold and Frequency Threshold

[0294] A third example scenario includes triggering a response set based on both the frequency slope threshold and the frequency threshold. Table 6 contains representative parameters for this purpose in conjunction with a surgical instrument, such as any of the surgical instruments 19, 190, 1000 disclosed herein including corresponding ultrasonic instruments (e.g., ultrasonic instruments 100, 120, 1004 disclosed herein).
