The present disclosure relates to a workstation and a technique to automatically configure the workstation. The workstation can be used to perform various tasks including but not limited to medication delivery, collection of medical records, patient care, manufacturing operations, and others. The workstation can be configured by the user depending on the tasks to be performed using the workstation. Various sensors (e.g., hall effect sensors, optical sensors, or the like) can be coupled to the workstation, and sensor operators (e.g., magnets, color coded strips, or the like) can be coupled to the modules. By aligning sensor operators with sensors when modules are coupled to the workstation, a configuration (e.g., size, shape, location, or the like) of modules can be automatically detected by the workstation controller. The controller of the workstation can then adapt to perform certain tasks (e.g., lock/unlock drawers, or the like) depending on the detected configuration of modules.

Chest of drawers includes a fixed structure which defines at least one housing configured to house at least one moveable drawer configured to have a closed position with respect to the fixed structure in which the drawer is completely contained inside the housing and an open position in which at least part of the drawer protrudes outside the housing. The chest of drawers includes a first identification element visible from the outside of the fixed structure configured to provide information regarding the contents of the drawer.

A portable medical storage unit (station) is configured in the form of a phlebotomy arm wedge that includes internal storage along with other optional features to facilitate a health professional to perform a phlebotomy. The portable medical storage unit thus provides an alternative product to a phlebotomy chair and has a much smaller footprint and can easily be stored in closet or the like. Moreover, the portable medical storage unit can be made at much less cost than a phlebotomy chair.

A system and method for a cabinet. The cabinet has at least two mounts. The cabinet further has at least two covers. The covers are releasably couple to the mounts. When the covers are coupled there is an opening between adjacent covers which houses an item which can be retrieved through the opening. The covers can have tabs which couple with slots in the mounts. The result is an interchangeable cabinet which allows the user to change the contents being housed by moving the covers and adjusting the size of the opening to account for larger or smaller contents.

A cart for supporting one or more instruments for a computer-assisted, remote procedure can include a base and a support structure extending from the base and adjustable to different configurations, the support structure being configured to support one or more instruments to perform a remote procedure. The cart can further include a steering interface configured to be grasped by a user and a sensor mechanism configured to detect a force applied to the steering interface. The cart also can include a drive system comprising a control module operably coupled to receive an input from the sensor mechanism in response to the force applied to the steering interface and information about a configuration of the support structure, the control module operably coupled to output a movement command based on the received input from the sensor mechanism and the information about the configuration of the support structure. A driven wheel may be mounted to the base and configured to impart wheeled motion to the cart in response to the movement command.
