Classification: CPC A | IPC A

Claim 7:
8. A surgical system, comprising:
an end effector, comprising:
a first jaw,
a second jaw movable relative to the first jaw from an open configuration toward a closed configuration, and
a staple cartridge comprising staples deployable from the staple cartridge into tissue between the first jaw and the second jaw;

a drive member;
a motor operatively coupled to the drive member, wherein the drive member is advanceable by the motor to effect a deployment of the staples during a firing stroke, and the drive member is retractable by the motor to permit the second jaw to transition toward the open configuration;
a user interface; and
a control circuit configured to:
operate the motor to actuate the drive member,
control the motor to advance the drive member to deploy the staples,
detect reaching or exceeding a first upper threshold for a first parameter associated with the actuation of the drive member,
provide a first alert through the user interface, wherein the first alert is in response to the reaching or exceeding a value of the first upper threshold,
adjust a control parameter of the motor in response to the reaching or exceeding the value of the first upper threshold,
continue the operation of the motor after the reaching or exceeding the value of the first upper threshold;
detect reaching or exceeding a value of a second upper threshold for the first parameter, wherein the second upper threshold is greater than the first upper threshold,
monitor a second parameter,
compare the second parameter to first and second upper thresholds of the second parameter,
determine an overlaying threshold based on a mathematical relationship between one of the first and second upper thresholds of the first parameter and one of the first and second upper thresholds of the second parameter, and store the overlaying threshold.
