SURGICAL AUGMENTED REALITY WORKSTATION
Various embodiments of an apparatus, methods, systems and computer program products described herein are directed to a workstation cart. One or more embodiments of the workstation cart (“workstation”) include a monitor, a first module, a second module and a third module connected to main support beam. An Augmented Reality (AR) headset device holder is disposed upon the first module. One or more AR headset device charging cables are connected to the second module. At least one computer system and a router are located inside the first module. A power unit and/or a battery(s) are located inside the third module.
Monitoring Treatment of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Using Diffuse Optical Imaging
A plurality of modules are simultaneously positioned at locations that correspond to different angiosomes. Each of these modules has a front surface shaped and dimensioned for contacting a person's skin, a plurality of different-wavelength light sources aimed in a forward direction, and a plurality of light detectors aimed to detect light arriving from in front of the front surface. Each module is supported by a support structure (e.g., a strap or a clip) that is shaped and dimensioned to hold the front surface adjacent to the person's skin at a respective position. Perfusion in each of the angiosomes is monitored using these modules, and the surgeon can rely on this information to guide his or her intervention.
Waste collection system with controllers for regulating levels of vacuum drawn on a waste container
A waste collection system for collecting medical/surgical waste. A mobile rover includes at least one waste container supported on the mobile rover for storing the medical/surgical waste. A chassis is separate from and configured be removably coupled with the mobile rover. The chassis supports a chassis controller and a vacuum pump configured to draw a vacuum on the waste container. A rover controller is supported on the mobile rover and configured to receive a pressure signal representative of a level of the vacuum. The chassis controller is configured to be in communication with the rover controller and to regulate the level of the vacuum drawn based on the pressure signal. A transmitter may be supported on the mobile rover and in communication with the rover controller, and a receiver may be supported on the chassis to be in communication with the transmitter to establish a communication circuit for data transfer.
Medical equipment adaptable travel restraint systems
A medical equipment adaptable travel restraint system includes a number of features to support transportation and use of durable medical equipment including crash-safe transportation in a vehicle, vehicle-to-site transportation by a user for deployment, and operation of the durable medical equipment by the user without removal from a carrier of the medical equipment adaptable travel restraint system.
SURGICAL ROBOTIC POSITIONING CART
A surgical positioning cart configured to support a surgical robotic device thereon a distal side configured to face a surgical entry site of a patient, comprises a base movable at least along a horizontal reference plane, a head pivotable relative to the horizontal plane to define therewith different inclination angles at least in a plane comprising vertical and longitudinal axes of the cart; a slider configured to fixedly receive at least a portion of the surgical robotic device thereon and mounted to the head so as to be pivotable therewith and be movable relative thereto at least along the longitudinal axis; and a neck connecting between the base and the head pivotally mounted thereto, having an adjustable height defined by a length of the neck in the vertical direction.
Method and apparatus for automatically integrating a medical device into a medical facility network
Infusion pumps having a fluid pump and a processor are disclosed. The processor is configured to transmit a signal to make a medical facility network aware that the infusion pump is within a wireless network range of a medical treatment area of a medical facility, receive a request for device identity information specific to the infusion pump, transmit the device identity information specific to the infusion pump, receive, if the infusion pump is authenticated by the medical facility network, an initialization signal from the medical facility network, wherein the initialization signal causes initialization of the infusion pump within the medical treatment area, receive, from a sensor via the medical facility network after receiving the initialization signal, a measurement, and control the adjustable rate of the fluid pump based at least in part on the measurement. Systems having infusion pumps are also disclosed.
DETERMINING RELATIVE ROBOT BASE POSITIONS USING EXTERNALLY POSITIONED IMAGERS
A system for determining relative positions of subsystems of a robot-assisted surgical system includes a subsystem component including a plurality of manipulator arms and a surgeon console. Each subsystem component includes at least one of an optical tracker and a light emitter. Image data from the optical trackers is analyzed to determine the relative positions of the subsystems.
Portable electroneurodiagnostic cart
A wheeled intraoperative neuromonitoring transport device capable of portability and overhead airplane storage that comprises a lower frame that includes two outer legs and an inner support frame, an equipment holder secured about the lower frame, a back frame secured the lower frame, a frame coupled in sliding relation with the back frame between an opened and closed position, and an articulating computer tray carried by the frame via at least one pivoting joint.
MINIMALLY INVASIVE HISTOTRIPSY SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A histotripsy therapy system configured for the treatment of tissue is provided, which may include any number of features. Provided herein are systems and methods that provide efficacious non-invasive and minimally invasive therapeutic, diagnostic and research procedures. In particular, provided herein are optimized systems and methods that provide targeted, efficacious histotripsy in a variety of different regions and under a variety of different conditions without causing undesired tissue damage to intervening/non-target tissues or structures.
Registering Intra-Operative Images Transformed from Pre-Operative Images of Different Imaging-Modality for Computer Assisted Navigation During Surgery
A computer platform is provided for computer assisted navigation during surgery. The computer platform includes at least one processor that is operative to transform pre-operative images of a patient obtained from a first imaging modality to an estimate of the pre-operative images of the patient in a second imaging modality that is different than the first imaging modality. The at least one processor is further operative to register the estimate of the pre-operative images of the patient in the second imaging modality to intra-operative navigable images or data of the patient.
