Abstract
A surgical device controlled by a control console includes a device body, an identification circuit in connection with the device body, and a communication interface. The communication interface is configured to communicatively connect the identification circuit to the control console. In response to receiving an energization signal from the control console via the communication interface, the identification circuit activates an identification signal at a fixed frequency for a predetermined period of time and communicates the identification signal to the control console via the communication interface.
