Abstract: A system includes an energy-based surgical instrument with a mode selector capable of selecting a latch mode and an automatic or non-latch mode. The surgical instrument may send a message signal indicative of the state of the mode selector to a surgical generator, which outputs an audio tone indicative of the state of the mode selector. The surgical instrument may generate feedback, such as haptic feedback, when energy delivery is nearly activated, and generate different feedback when the energy delivery is activated. The surgical instrument may measure tension applied at an end effector of the surgical instrument and generate haptic feedback based on the measured tension. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
