Claim 10:
11. A method for adjusting control parameters of a clip applier using a surgical hub, wherein said method comprises:
storing, by the clip applier, a control algorithm that controls an operation of a crimping drive of the clip applier to perform a crimping stroke to crimp a clip around a tissue of a patient;
receiving, by the clip applier, data from the surgical hub, wherein the data is gathered during a first surgical procedure;
evaluating, by the clip applier, the gathered data to determine an appropriate operation of the clip applier in a subsequent surgical procedure;
operating, by the clip applier and during the subsequent surgical procedure, the crimping drive to perform the appropriate operation based on the control algorithm and the gathered data;
gathering, by the clip applier, data during the operation of the clip applier in the subsequent surgical procedure, wherein the data gathered during the operation of the clip applier in the subsequent surgical procedure comprises a force required to perform the crimping stroke to crimp the clip around the tissue of the patient during the subsequent surgical procedure, and wherein performing the crimping stroke to crimp the clip around the tissue of the patient during the subsequent surgical procedure comprises deforming the clip;
determining, by the clip applier, if the operation of the clip applier needs to be adjusted based on the data gathered during the subsequent surgical procedure; and
modifying, by the clip applier and based on the data gathered during the subsequent surgical procedure, the control algorithm to adjust the operation of the clip applier.
