A surgical instrument. The surgical instrument has an end effector and a trigger in communication with the end effector. The surgical instrument also has a first sensor and an externally accessible memory device in communication with the first sensor. The first sensor has an output that represents a first condition of either the trigger or the end effector. The memory device is configured to record the output of the first sensor. In various embodiments, memory device may include an output port and/or a removable storage medium.
1. A surgical instrument comprising: an end effector to engage tissue, the end effector comprising a staple channel and an anvil pivotably translatable relative to the staple channel, wherein at least one of the anvil and the staple channel define a longitudinal channel;a reciprocating knife positio
1. A surgical instrument comprising: an end effector to engage tissue, the end effector comprising a staple channel and an anvil pivotably translatable relative to the staple channel, wherein at least one of the anvil and the staple channel define a longitudinal channel;a reciprocating knife positioned to slide distally through the longitudinal channel when the anvil is pivoted to a position substantially parallel to the staple channel;a longitudinal shaft extending proximally from the end effector;a first sensor having an output representing a first condition of at least one component selected from the group consisting of the anvil, the staple channel and the knife; andan externally accessible memory device in communication with the first sensor via a first data connection, wherein the memory device is configured to record the output of the first sensor; and wherein the memory device comprises a wireless output port to wirelessly communicate data received from the first sensor to an outside device. 2. The surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein the memory device comprises a removable medium. 3. The surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein the memory device is configured to record the output of the first sensor when the first condition changes. 4. The surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein the first condition indicates whether an anvil of the end effector is in an open position or a closed position. 5. The surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein the first condition indicates at least one of the group consisting of a position of a knife within the end effector, and a pressure exerted by the end effector. 6. The surgical instrument of claim 1, further comprising a motorized drive system in communication with the end effector. 7. The surgical instrument of claim 1, further comprising a mechanical drive system in communication with the end effector. 8. The surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein the memory device comprises at least one of the group consisting of a microcontroller and an electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM). 9. The surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein the first sensor is a binary sensor. 10. The surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein the first sensor is an analog sensor. 11. The surgical instrument of claim 10, wherein the surgical instrument further comprises an analog-to-digital converter in communication with the first sensor and the memory device. 12. The surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein the memory device is positioned proximally from the end effector and from at least a portion of the longitudinal shaft. 13. The surgical instrument of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of sensors, wherein the plurality of sensors comprises the first sensor, and wherein the memory device is in communication with all of the plurality of sensors via the first data connection. 14. The surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein the first data connection is a single wire bus.
