Method of hub communication with surgical instrument systems

A method for adjusting control parameters of a surgical suturing instrument using a surgical hub, wherein said method comprises:

• gathering data during surgical procedures, wherein each surgical procedure includes the use of a surgical suturing instrument comprising a suturing needle configured to be advanced through a suturing stroke;
• evaluating the gathered data to determine the appropriate operation of the surgical suturing instrument;
• operating the surgical suturing instrument;
• monitoring the operation of the surgical suturing instrument;
• determining if the operation of the surgical suturing instrument needs to be adjusted based on the evaluated data;
• and
• adjusting the operation of the surgical suturing instrument.

A method for adjusting the operation of a surgical suturing system using a surgical hub, wherein the surgical suturing system comprises an end effector and a firing system comprising a motor, wherein the end effector comprises a needle track, a needle comprising suturing material attached thereto, and a needle detection circuit, wherein the needle is configured to be guided by the needle track, wherein the firing system is configured to apply control motions to the needle to advance the needle through a firing stroke to suture tissue with the suturing material, wherein the needle detection circuit is configured to detect a parameter of the needle during the firing stroke, and wherein the method for adjusting control parameters of the surgical suturing system comprises:

• evaluating data originating from said the detection circuit and the surgical hub;
• determining if the control motions of the surgical suturing system need to be adjusted based on the evaluated data;
• and
• adjusting the operation of the surgical suturing system.
