Abstract
An energy module is disclosed. The energy module includes a real time clock and a control circuit coupled to the real time clock. The circuit is configured to detect the presence of a surgical instrument coupled to the energy module, track usage of the surgical instrument in real time based on the real time clock, and deactivate the surgical instrument based on a predetermined total elapsed time based on the real time clock.
