Abstract:
A method for resetting a stapling apparatus includes providing an apparatus with a cam member in a fired position. A circuit of the apparatus is then changed from a first polarity state to a second polarity state. A motor of the apparatus is then activated to rotate the cam member from a fired position back to a home position while the circuit is in the second polarity state.

Claim (Index 19):
A surgical kit, the surgical kit comprising:\n (a) a stapling instrument the stapling instrument comprising:\n (i) a stapling head assembly, wherein the stapling head assembly comprises:\n (A) an annularly arranged array of staples, and \n (B) a knife with an annular cutting edge that is configured to cut tissue, \n \n (ii) a shaft assembly coupled to the stapling head assembly, \n (iii) a body coupled to the shaft assembly, wherein the body comprises:\n (A) a motor, and \n (B) a cam member configured to rotate in response to activation of the motor, wherein the cam member is rotatable in a first direction from a home position to a fired position to actuate the stapling head assembly to thereby drive the staples and the knife through tissue, wherein the cam member is further rotatable in the first direction from the fired position to the home position, and \n \n (iv) a circuit in electrical communication with the motor, wherein the circuit is configured to transition between a first polarity state and a second polarity state, wherein the motor is configured to drive the cam member from the home position to the fired position when the circuit is in the first polarity state, wherein the cam member is further configured to drive the cam member from the fired position to the home position when the circuit is in the second polarity state; \n (b) a first battery pack configured to activate the motor when the circuit is in the first polarity state, wherein the first battery pack has a first polarity associated with the first polarity state of the circuit, and (c) a second battery pack configured to activate the motor when the circuit is in the second polarity state, wherein the second battery pack has a second polarity associated with the second polarity state of the circuit.
