Zusammenfassung:	A surgical tool for a robotic surgical system includes a tool housing having a mounting portion for releasably securing the surgical tool to a carriage of the robotic surgical system, tool circuity included in the tool housing and configured to communicate with corresponding circuitry of the robotic surgical system, and an indicator provided on the tool housing and electrically connected to the tool circuitry. The indicator is activatable upon communicably coupling the tool circuitry with the corresponding circuitry of the robotic surgical system, and the indicator provides a visual indication of remaining useful life of the surgical tool.
