Abstract
A reusable cable connecting a surgical device to a therapy generator can include a memory device to track the surgical devices that have been used with the cable. When the cable is coupled to the therapy generator, a control circuit in the therapy generator can interrogate the cable and read data stored in the memory device of the cable, where the data represents a number of surgical devices previously coupled to the cable.
