Abstract
A surgical instrument may comprise an actuation component and a memory. The memory may be configured to store a remaining usable life value of the surgical instrument and receive an updated usable life value of the surgical instrument after a use of the actuation component. The updated usable life value may be based at least on an amount of use of the surgical instrument. The memory may also be configured to store the updated usable life value.
