Abstract
A method of operating a surgical tool includes coupling a drive housing to a tool driver of a first robotic surgical system, driving rotation of a drive shaft mounted within the drive housing and thereby commencing a firing sequence of the end effector, and setting a bailout Boolean value as 'true' in an internal computer of the drive housing upon commencing the firing sequence, and storing the bailout Boolean value in a memory of the internal computer. Manually bailing out the surgical tool before completing the firing sequence, installing the surgical tool on a tool driver of a second robotic surgical system, and querying the memory of the internal computer with the second robotic surgical system and recognizing the bailout Boolean value as 'true'. Initiating one or more remedial actions to ensure safe operation of the surgical tool on the second robotic surgical system.
