DEVICES AND METHODS FOR TARGETING IMPLANT DEPLOYMENT IN TISSUE
A system and method for providing relative positional information of a therapeutic or diagnostic device during the treatment of urinary tract diseases and conditions.
EASY TO MANUFACTURE AUTOCLAVABLE LED FOR OPTICAL TRACKING
An optical tracking system is provided. The optical tracking system comprises an autoclavable fiducial marker assembly including an opaque housing, a light source, a window panel configured to refract light rays from the light source therethrough, and a metallized coating forming a hermetic seal at an interface of the window panel and the opaque housing. The fiducial marker assembly is configured to shield a peripheral edge of the window panel from the light rays. The system further comprises a tracking device comprising at least two optical sensors configured to detect a position of a light ray emitted by the light source. The system further comprises a processor configured to receive the position of the light rays from the optical sensors, shift the position of each light ray based on a calculated refraction deviation, and triangulate the location of the light source based on the shifted position of each light ray.
SURGICAL PROCEDURALIZATION VIA MODULAR ENERGY SYSTEM
Systems, methods and devices for surgical procedurelization via a modular energy system are disclosed herein. In various aspects, the systems, methods and devices include an energy module, a header module communicably coupled to the energy module, and a display screen capable of rendering a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI may be configured to display a plurality of steps that correspond with actions performed by a user while operating the modular energy system. In some aspects, the steps displayed are steps of a predetermined procedural checklist corresponding with a mental model followed by the user while performing a surgical procedure. In some aspects, the steps displayed are steps of an output verification process.
METHOD FOR SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE FOR MODULAR ENERGY SYSTEM
Mitigating a user interface display function of a modular energy system includes receiving formatted video data at a video data converter circuit, providing differential video signaling data to the display from the video data converter circuit, providing a copy of the differential video signaling data to a processor, and determining that the differential video signaling data is changing over time. Mitigating erroneous outputs from an isolated interface includes receiving a state of a first switch of a first footswitch coupled to a first comparator and a reference voltage coupled to the first comparator, receiving the state of the first switch coupled to the first duplicate comparator and the reference voltage coupled to the first duplicate comparator, comparing the output of the first comparator with the output of the first duplicate comparator, and determining activation or deactivation of a surgical instrument coupled to the controller based on the comparison.
METHOD AND SYSTEM TO AUGMENT MEDICAL SCAN IMAGE INFORMATION ON EXTENDED REALITY IMAGE
Embodiments of the present disclosure set forth a method to augment medical scan information associated with a target object on a first extended reality image. The method includes obtaining a three-dimensional image associated with the target object, identifying a first set of three-dimensional feature points from the three-dimensional image, identifying anatomical points based on the first set of three-dimensional feature points, obtaining the first extended reality image associated with the anatomical points; selecting a second set of three-dimensional feature points from the first extended reality image, performing a first image matching between the first set of three-dimensional feature points and the second set of three-dimensional feature points, and superimposing the three-dimensional image on the first extended reality image based on the first image matching.
MODULAR ENERGY SYSTEM WITH DUAL AMPLIFIERS AND TECHNIQUES FOR UPDATING PARAMETERS THEREOF
A dual amplifier apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes an energy module having a controller and a first and second power amplifier circuit coupled to the controller. The first and second power amplifier circuits are configured to receive and amplify an input signal to generate a first output signal into a load coupled to the output of the first and second power amplifier circuit. A power rating of the first amplifier circuit is different from a power rating of the second amplifier circuit. The controller is configured to select the first or the second power amplifier circuit.
Methods and systems for a cable management system
Various methods and systems are provided for a cable management device. In one example, the cable management device has a planar base with a plurality of mounting holes, a first wing framing a first slot positioned along a first side of the base, and a second wing framing a second slot along a second side of the base. The wings may flex from a first configuration to a second configuration in response to a contact force.

CONTROL APPARATUS, MEDICAL CENTRAL CONTROL SYSTEM, AND SURGERY-RELATED INFORMATION DISPLAY METHOD
A control apparatus includes a processor. The processor selects one scene of a plurality of scenes of a predetermined surgical operation based on user input, changes settings of a surgical apparatus according to the scene selected when each scene is selected, selects surgery-related information according to the scene selected, and displays the surgery-related information on a display unit.
Systems and methods for measurement of anatomic alignment
Systems and methods for estimating anatomic alignment between two or more bones are described herein. An example method can include registering an anatomic reference frame. Additionally, the method can include establishing a respective rotational relationship between each of one or more bones and an orientation sensor attached to each of the one or more bones. The method can also include receiving, from each of the orientation sensors, orientation information, and then calculating an orientation of a bone relative to the anatomic reference frame. The method can further include calculating, using the respective orientations of the bones relative to the anatomic reference frame, an anatomic alignment parameter between first and second bones.
