Medical device capable of properly measuring a center of gravity and capable of preventing overturning of a surgical operation table is provided without performing a significant design change. Medical device S, which includes a plurality of leg portions 20 that lift up a main body 2 from a floor surface and support the main body 2, includes load detection devices 55 that are provided between the main body 2 and the respective leg portions 20, and detect loads in a vertical direction received by the leg portions 20 from the floor surface.

The present disclosure is related to systems and methods for controlling a patient bed of a medical device. A method includes determining whether a first gesture on the touch panel satisfies a first trigger condition; in response to determining that the first gesture satisfies the first trigger condition, generating, instructions for causing at least one icon to be displayed on the touch panel, the at least one icon being configured to control the movement of the patient bed; and determining at least one movement parameter of the patient bed based at least on a second gesture directed to the at least one icon.

Devices, systems, and methods for patient support including adjustable longitudinal angle of attached patient support tops. The reference point for longitudinal angle adjustment is itself adjustable to accommodate particular patient positioning.

A patient support apparatus, such as a bed, cot, stretcher, operating table, recliner, or the like, includes a litter frame, a support deck supported on the litter frame and adapted to support a mattress thereon, a touchscreen and a controller configured for carrying out various functions and to display various screens on the touchscreen, including screens for controlling a mattress therapy function or for controlling a non-mattress function of the patient support apparatus. A notification regarding the status of a mattress therapy function can be displayed on various screens. Status indications can be provided as a banner across a portion of the touchscreen.

A fluid source comprises a connector assembly for connecting a fluid supply device to either a first therapy device or to a second therapy device. A controller automatically provides a first configuration of a user interface associated with a first therapy when a supply connector is operatively coupled to the first therapy device and provides a second configuration of the user interface associated with a second therapy, different than the first configuration, when the supply connector is operatively coupled to the second therapy device. A hanger assembly is provided to hang the fluid source on different support structures. The fluid source also comprises a housing with a watershed region to shed liquid away from the user interface.

Certain aspects relate to systems and techniques for articulating medical instruments. In one aspect, the instrument includes a wrist having at least two degrees of freedom of movement, and an end effector coupled to the wrist. The end effector can include an upper jaw, a lower jaw, and a firing mechanism configured to form staples in tissue. Actuation of the firing mechanism can be decoupled from the movement of the wrist in the at least two degrees of freedom.

A medical station includes a movable cart and a cassette system. The cassette system includes a housing, a plurality of lockable drawers slidably mounted to the housing, and a drawer manual override configured to allow a hardware key to mechanically unlatch all of the drawers so that the drawers are capable of opening.

A patient support apparatus that is adaptable to multiple modes of transport includes a variable length base and a drive system that includes two independently drivable wheels that are responsive to inputs from a user to steer the patient support apparatus.

Systems and methods for navigating a residence include a first household appliance, a second household appliance, a beacon, and a portable user interface device. The systems and methods include determining a plurality of paths through the residence. The systems and methods also include receiving, from a user interface of the portable user interface device, an input comprising a selected destination and determining a current location of the portable user interface device based on a short-range radio signal after receiving the input. The systems and methods further include selecting one path from the plurality of paths through the residence. The one selected path starts at or near the determined current location of the portable user interface device and terminates at the selected destination. The systems and methods also include providing guidance to and along the one selected path.

An apparatus for updating a controller for a mobility device includes a communication device that receives information associated with updating one or more controllers included in the mobility device, transmits the information associated with the updating to a terminal of a user or an interface of the mobility device, and receives information about an update preference of the user based on the information associated with the updating from the terminal of the user, and a management device that generates at least one of whether to update the one or more controllers or an update sequence of the one or more controllers, based on the information about the update preference.
