The present invention provides a capsule endoscope and an adjusting method. The capsule endoscope includes: an enclosure, the enclosure including an enclosure main body portion and enclosure end portions; an image acquisition component and an information transmission component, disposed in the enclosure end portions; a circuit processing component, disposed in the enclosure main body portion; accompanying spaces formed in the enclosure and a heat storage material is filled in the accompanying spaces; a battery and a heating component are connected to the circuit processing component, the heating component heats the battery. The adjusting method for a capsule endoscope comprises: checking the output power of the battery of the capsule endoscope; when the output power is less than a threshold, heating the battery by the heating component; and when the output power is greater than the threshold, stopping heating by the heating component.

The present disclosure relates to a medical system including a medical imaging instrument which is adapted to generate image data and which comprises a plug port for connecting a data cable, and a data transmission adapter which is detachably connectable to the plug port and is adapted to receive the image data via the plug port and to transmit data based on the image data wirelessly. The present disclosure also relates to a data transmission adapter, a method for retrofitting a medical imaging instrument and a method for transmitting image data.

This disclosure enables various technologies for endoscopy, laparoscopy, and other endoscopic or scopic procedures and methods of manufacture and use thereof. One of such technologies includes a handheld unit and a computing terminal. The handheld unit has a handle, an energy store, a scope, and a first wireless communication interface. The handle has a channel. The energy store has a body and a tower extending radially from the body. The tower hosts a control panel for the scope. The tower extends within the channel when the energy store is assembled with the handle by a user. The computing terminal hosts a second wireless communication interface, where the second wireless communication interface receives an imagery of a cavity captured via the scope powered by the energy store when the scope extends within the cavity as the user holds the handle outside the cavity.

In embodiments set forth herein, an intraoral scanning system includes a first intraoral scanner, a second intraoral scanner, and a computing device wirelessly connected to both the first intraoral scanner and the second intraoral scanner. The computing device receives first intraoral scan data from the first intraoral scanner and generates a first three-dimensional (3D) surface of at least a portion of a first patient's dental arch based on the first intraoral scan data. The computing device further receives second intraoral scan data from the second intraoral scanner and generates a second 3D surface of at least a portion of a second patient's dental arch based on the second intraoral scan data.

A system for monitoring usage conditions of a medical device. Where the system including: a primary accelerometer configured to detect acceleration of the medical device during handling thereof; a secondary sensor configured to detect a further condition of the medical device during handling thereof; and a controller including hardware, the controller having a dedicated storage. The controller is operatively connected to the primary accelerometer and the secondary sensor. The controller is configured to: derive use data of the medical device from the first output data of the primary accelerometer and second output data of the secondary sensor; and differentiate, based on the first output data of the primary accelerometer and the second output data of the secondary sensor between a regular use state and an unintended use state of the medical device.

A monitor device and a method of using the monitor device in a medical visualisation system including a visualisation device having an image sensor configured to generate image data indicative of a view, the monitor device configured to operate in a first interface orientation mode and a second interface orientation mode, wherein in the first interface orientation mode, a second portion is between a fourth housing side and a first portion, and wherein in the second interface orientation mode, the second portion is between a third housing side and the first portion.
