Zusammenfassung:A surgical stapling instrument includes an anvil assembly, a reload assembly, an adapter assembly, a processor, and a memory. When clamping to a target force, the instructions cause the surgical stapling instrument to advance the pusher towards the anvil assembly from a first position to a second position, determine if the pusher stopped advancing towards the anvil assembly prior to the second position, measure a force of staple compression of a staple being ejected from the annular staple cartridge by the pusher, in response to the pusher having stopped advancing towards the anvil assembly, and determine if the force of staple compression is outside of a predetermined range
