Abstract: El sistema y metodo para identificar un componente, tal como una sonda optica o tijeras neumaticas, de un dispositivo quirurgico oftalmico. Un componente de un dispositivo quirurgico incluye un identificador, tal como una etiqueta RFID. Los datos de la etiqueta RFID se transmite a un lector RFID en el dispositivo. Un controlador determina si el componente que corresponde a los datos recibidos es operable con el dispositivo quirurgico basado en los criterios, tales como si los datos recibidos sean un codigo autorizado que coincide con los datos almacenados en la memoria o si los datos recibidos resuelven o satisfacen un algoritmo. Los codigos autorizados se seleccionan de un grupo mas grande de codigos disponibles. El controlador habilita o deshabilita la operacion del dispositivo con el componente basado en si el criterio se satisface, el numero de usos del componente, una cantidad de tiempo ha pasado desde que se ha usado el componente, o una localizacion geografica. Los datos RFID tambien se pueden usar para calibrar el dispositivo quirurgico para usarse con el componente particular y para propositos de inventario y monitoreo.

Abstract: A system and method for configuring a surgical device are disclosed, one embodiment of the system comprising; an interface operable to receive data; a portable component, comprising an identifier operable to store and transmit a set of data; a memory, the memory storing criteria; and a controller, wherein the controller, the memory and the interface are included in the surgical device, and wherein the controller is operable to configure the surgical device based on the set of data transmitted from the identifier and received at the interface. The identifier can be an RFID tag and the interface can be an RFID interface comprising an RFID reader operable to transmit a radio frequency (RF) instruction to activate the RFID tag of the portable component, and a microcontroller operable to cause the RFID reader to transmit the RF instruction. The portable component can be an identification tag that can be attached to the user. The criteria can be user authorization data that is stored in the memory and the controller is operable to determine whether a user associated with the portable component is authorized to use the surgical device based on whether the set of data transmitted from the identifier and received at the interface satisfies the criteria stored in the memory. The criteria can also be an algorithm that the controller applies to the set of data received from the identifier to determine whether the user is authorized to use the surgical device. The controller can cause the surgical device to be disabled if it is determined that the user is not authorized to use the surgical device (e.g., the surgeon, technician or patient is at the wrong surgical device).

Abstract: A system and method for identifying a component for use with a surgical device are disclosed. A component of a surgical device includes an identifier, such as a RFID tag. Data from the RFID tag is transmitted to a RFID reader operably coupled to the device. A controller identifies the component based on the received data and determines whether the component can be used with the surgical device based on criteria, such as whether the received data is an authorized code that matches data stored in memory or whether the received data solves or satisfies an algorithm. The authorized codes are selected from a larger set of available codes. The controller can enable or disable the operation of the device with the component based on whether the criteria is satisfied and can cause the surgical device to be configured for use with the component.

Abstract: Disclosed is an exemplary surgical illumination system that includes a first laser configured to emit a first light beam having a first spectral range, and an illumination probe optically connectable to the first laser. The first laser may be configured as a supercontinuum laser. The surgical illumination system may include a second laser configured to emit a second light beam having a second spectral range, and a beam combiner for combing the first and second laser beams to form a third laser beam having a spectral range of the first and second lasers. The illumination probe includes a fiber optic cable for delivering at least a portion of the first light beam to a surgical site. The fiber optic cable includes a fiber optic core having a diameter of 100 microns or less.

Abstract: A surgical footswitch that includes a base, a pedal, an encoder assembly, a wireless interface, and an internal power generator. The pedal mounts upon the base and pivots. The encoder assembly couples to the pedal. As the pedal pivots, the encoder assembly translates the mechanical signal of the pedal into a control signal based on the pedals position and/or orientation. The wireless interface couples the encoder assembly to receive the control signal. The wireless interface also couples the surgical footswitch to a surgical console operable to control and direct surgical equipment. The wireless interface passes the control signal from the encoder to the surgical console, which then directs the surgical equipment based on the control signal. This wireless interface eliminates the tangle of wires or tethers, which may be a hazard in the surgical theater. The internal power generator translates footswitch movement into stored energy to eliminate potential failures of the footswitch during a procedure and overcome the need to replace batteries within the footswitch.

Abstract: Re: 2965 US Express Mail EV 759785342 US SURGICAL LASER SYSTEM WITH REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONALITY Embodiments of the present invention provide a laser surgical system with a basic set of functionality which is remotely controllable to implement an advanced set of functionality. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a basic laser surgical system may be coupled to an advanced control unit such that the basic laser surgical system may be controllable by the advanced control unit to implement a broader set of functionality. By moving less frequently used functionality to an advanced unit, the basic unit may be streamlined with regards 3 to both cost and size, and the learning curve required to utilize the basic unit may be reduced relative to a more feature-ladened unit, allowing the basic unit to be utilized in myriad situations or procedures where an "all-in-one" unit would be less than desirable.

Abstract: U~qtr-1 .IUY5 U11 SURGICAL CONSOLE OPERABLE TO SIMULATE SURGICAL PROCEDURES A surgical console is disclosed for simulating surgical procedures. Simulations can be directly integrated and supported by the surgical console and training surgical instruments. An operator may use actual control hardware to manipulate the surgical instruments that will be manipulated during actual surgical procedures to improve the operator's surgical dexterity. The surgical console can include a processing module, an external interface, simulation module, and a user interface. The processing module directs operation of peripheral devices coupled to the surgical console. The peripheral devices may include control devices, such as, but not limited to footswitches or other like control devices, surgical instruments such as, but not limited to, surgical microscopes, and other surgical training instruments, such as training surgical cutting tools. Additionally, the processing module may monitor the operating parameters and surgical modes associated with the training surgical procedure. The operator may receive feedback from the surgical console on his/her performance of the training surgical procedure. -- -16 User Interfaces gp 12 Surgical kj Peripheral Devices 14 Memory Storage Device

Abstract: System and method for identifying a component, such as an optical probe or pneumatic scissors, of an ophthalmic surgical device. A component of a surgical device includes an identifier (102), such as a RFID tag. Data from the RFID tag is transmitted to a RFID reader in the device. A controller (115) determines whether the component corresponding to the received data is operable with the surgical device based on criteria, such as whether the received data is an authorized code that matches data stored in memory or whether the received data solves or satisfies an algorithm. The authorized codes are selected from a larger set of available codes. The controller enables or disables the operation of the device with the component based on whether the criteria is satisfied, the number of uses of the component, an amount of time that has passed since the component has been used, or a geographic location. The RFID data can also be used to calibrate the surgical device for use with the particular component and for inventory and monitoring purposes.
