Abstract
A surgical system and a computing device for a surgical system that is configured to calculate actual operating parameters of an electrosurgical instrument, including an actual angle between the jaw members of the electrosurgical instrument, and to display a user interface. The user interface includes an ideal angle range between the jaw members and the actual angle between the jaw members of the electrosurgical instrument relative to the ideal angle range. The computing device is further configured to determine if the actual angle between the jaw members of the electrosurgical instrument is outside the ideal angle range.
