1. A control system for a surgical instrument, the control system comprising:
an RFID scanner; and
a control circuit coupled to the RFID scanner, the control circuit configured to:
receive a first datum from a first RFID tag associated with the surgical instrument via the RFID scanner, the first datum identifying the surgical instrument;
receive a second datum from a second RFID tag associated with a consumable device for use with the surgical instrument via the RFID scanner in response to the consumable device being inserted into the surgical instrument, the second datum identifying the consumable device;
determine an operational setting based on the first datum from the first RFID tag associated with the surgical instrument and based on the second datum from the second RFID tag associated with the consumable device; and
control the surgical instrument according to the determined operational setting.
