Zusammenfassung:A surgical system comprising a handle, an adapter configured to couple to the handle and including a translating element, a loading unit configured to releasably couple to a distal end portion of the adapter, the loading unit configured to translate the translating element of the adapter proximally as the loading unit is being coupled to the adapter, a magnet attached to the translating element of the adapter and configured to translate with the translating element as the loading unit is coupled to the adapter and a GMR IC embedded within the handle or the adapter, the GMR IC configured to output a differential voltage in response to a magnetic field produced by the magnet, wherein the differential voltage produced by the GMR IC is indicative of a position of the loading unit relative to the adapter.
