1. A method of preventing reuse of a staple cartridge in a surgical instrument, the method comprising:
transmitting a first wireless signal to a transponder disposed within the staple cartridge; receiving a second wireless signal from the transponder to determine one of a first electronic state and a second electronic state of the transponder based on the second wireless signal; enabling actuation of a cutting instrument of the surgical instrument when the first electronic state is determined; and transitioning the transponder from the first electronic state to the second electronic state substantially simultaneously with an actuation of the cutting instrument. |
