Method of using multiple rfid chips with a surgical assembly

A surgical system, comprising:

• a surgical instrument;
• a first component coupleable to the surgical instrument, wherein the first component comprises a first RFID tag storing first data;
• a second component coupleable to the surgical instrument, wherein the second component comprises a second RFID tag storing second data;
• and
• a control circuit, to:
• receive the first data based on the first component being coupled to the surgical instrument;
• receive the second data based on the second component being coupled to the surgical instrument;
• and
• determine an operational setting of the surgical instrument based on the received first data and the received second data.

A surgical system, comprising:

• a surgical instrument, comprising:
• a housing;
• a first component operably coupleable to the housing, wherein the first component comprises a first storage medium storing first data;
• a second component operably coupleable to the housing, wherein the second component comprises a second storage medium storing second data;
• and
• a control circuit, to:
• receive the first data based on the first component being operably coupled to the housing;
• receive the second data based on the second component being operably coupled to the housing;
• and
• set an operational parameter of the surgical instrument based on the received first data and the received second data.
