Abstract

A surgical hub is for use with a surgical instrument configured to deliver therapeutic energy to tissue at a surgical site of a surgical procedure. The surgical hub comprises: a hub enclosure, comprising a docking station including a docking port comprising data and power contacts; and a combo generator module removably retainable in the docking station. The combo generator module comprises: an ultrasonic energy generator component; a radio frequency (RF) energy generator component; a smoke evacuation component; and a connection port. At least one of the ultrasonic energy generator component and the radio frequency (RF) generator component are couplable to the surgical instrument through the connection port. The combo generator module further comprises at least one smoke evacuation component, configured to evacuate smoke generated by an application of therapeutic energy to the tissue by the surgical instrument.
