FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: surgical instrument with an end clip contains sensor elements to determine the actuating element position in end clip. As the actuating element moves inside the end clip, it comes into tangential contact with the resistive element to generate signals. The signals indicate the actuating element position. The sensor can detect the condition or presence of cartridge in the end clip. The sensor element can communicate with the storage device, processor and indicator.
EFFECT: design reliability increase.
