Summary:HAND-HELD SURGICAL DEVICES A surgical system for performing a surgical procedure is disclosed. The surgical system comprises: a surgical device (10) including: a housing; a drive motor disposed in the housing; a power source disposed in the housing and configured to provide electrical power to the drive motor; and a control circuit coupled to the power source and the drive motor and including a resistor having a resistance associated with a voltage of the electrical power being delivered to the drive motor by the power source, the control circuit configured to calculate a current across the resistor. The surgical system further comprises at least one loading unit (20) configured for selective connection to the housing of the surgical device (10), the drive motor configured to actuate the at least one loading unit from a first condition to a second condition. The current across the resistor changes when the at least one loading unit (20) is in the second condition. 11438792_1
