Abstract
A method of tracking usage of a robotic surgical instrument includes capturing an image of a surgical instrument with an imager during a robotic surgical procedure, identifying a type of the surgical instrument based on the image of the surgical instrument, determining a degree of usage of the surgical instrument based on data acquired by at least one sensor, and determining a stage in a life cycle of the surgical instrument based on the type of surgical instrument identified and the degree of usage determined.
