The present application relates to the technical field of oral care devices, and discloses an oral endoscope, the oral endoscope comprising: a housing; an image acquisition module, which is fixedly mounted within the housing and which is used for acquiring an external image through the housing, the image acquisition module comprising at least two camera units, which are relatively positionally calibrated and which are used for acquiring three-dimensional image information; an illuminating unit, which provides illumination for each camera unit; a wireless communications module, which is used for wirelessly communicating with an external device and for sending image information, which is acquired by the image acquisition module, to the external device. The oral endoscope may acquire three-dimensional images at various positions in an oral cavity; the oral endoscope need not scan various positions in the oral cavity according to a set sequential requirement, thus the operational requirements thereof are low, and the present invention may be used for self-serviced dentition molding by an ordinary user.

A capsule endoscopic system is disclosed, where the system comprises a capsule device and a docking device. The capsule device comprises a battery, a secondary coil, and a capsule housing to enclose the battery and the secondary coil in a sealed environment, where the capsule device consists of a first end and a second end in a longitudinal direction of the capsule device, and the battery is located in proximity to the first end and the secondary coil is located in proximity to the second end. The docking device comprises an opening on the docking device, a primary coil to generate an alternating magnetic field, and a primary core. The capsule endoscopic system is arranged so that at least a portion of the secondary coil is enclosed by the primary coil and the battery is outside the primary coil when the capsule device is at the docked position.

An adaptor associated with a stereoscopic field of view through a port. The adaptor includes a housing, frame, and cables. The housing includes circuits associated with imaging data. The frame is connected to the housing, and has a guide and aperture. The guide extends away from the frame and is configured to pass through an opening of the port. The guide includes a terminal end configured to extend into the port such that the aperture is in communication with the opening. The cables include sensors that receive the imaging data capable of producing the stereoscopic field of view. The sensors are disposed at a distance from one another at the terminal end of the guide, wherein the distance enables the sensors to receive the image data capable of producing the stereoscopic field of view. The cables extend from the sensors of the guide to respective integrated circuits in the housing.

A portable endoscopic inspection system comprises an endoscope having a proximal end with a flanged eyepiece for observation and a distal end with a lens assembly for insertion into a region of interest. A light port transports incident light to the region of interest along an lighting pathway, and reflected light is transported along an imaging pathway from the lens assembly to the eyepiece. A wireless imaging unit comprises a light source which detachably couples to the light port for generating the incident light, and an imaging sensor for recording images of the reflected light from the eyepiece. The wireless imaging unit comprises a variable coupling system which mechanically couples the imaging sensor to the flanged eyepiece independent of the shape and/or size of the flange of the eyepiece.

Consistent with the present disclosure, a detection system is adapted to perform methods for detecting defects in medical devices, during a reprocessing procedure, for example. The detection system may utilize computer-implemented instructions to determine the presence and nature of the defects, whether biological or mechanical, for example. The computer-implemented instructions may be adapted to include artificial intelligence and/or machine learning algorithms, and process image data from currently available digital inspection camera systems or proprietary camera systems, as desired. Upon identification of a defect present in a medical device, the detection system may notify users of the presence of the defect, as well as provide further recommended action to be taken regarding the medical device, if desirable, reducing potential instrument failure, patient injury or death. The disclosed detection system may be integrated into existing disinfection and sterilization systems currently used in medical facilities, such as hospitals and surgery centers, for example.

The capsule endoscopic system is arranged so that the primary coil is wrapped around at least a portion of the primary core.

An endoscope apparatus includes an endoscope including a cable and a sensor and a processor. The endoscope includes a differential amplifying section configured to differentially amplify an output signal from the sensor. The processor includes a power supply circuit configured to generate a reference voltage supplied to the differential amplifying section. The reference voltage generated by the power supply circuit of the processor is supplied to the differential amplifying section of the endoscope via the cable. An output signal of the differential amplifying section is detected by the processor via the cable.

The invention relates to medical devices for carrying out internal examination, such as laryngoscopes. The laryngoscope is provided with a camera element within a channel inside the blade.

An exemplary system includes a memory storing instructions and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to execute the instructions to receive, from a sensor of a surgical instrument, environmental condition information associated with the surgical instrument and detected by the sensor while the surgical instrument is disconnected from an external power source, the surgical instrument including circuitry configured to be powered and operate only while the surgical instrument is connected to the external power source, determine, based on the environmental condition information, an operational condition of the surgical instrument, and provide a notification indicating the determined operational condition of the surgical instrument.
