Abstract: A system for assessing the quality of seals applied to tissue by electrosurgical instruments is provided. The system can include a surgical device with a control circuit to determine that an end effector of the surgical device is in a closed configuration, determine a presence of tissue disposed between a first jaw and a second jaw of the end effector, monitor motion of the end effector in the closed configuration with tissue present between the first and second jaw, detect motion of the end effector outside of a predetermined range based on the motion data, and provide feedback data based on the detected motion of the end effector.
