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 bean 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: Se describe un sistema y metodo para configurar un dispositivo quirurgico, una modalidad del sistema comprende; una interfaz operable para recibir datos; un componente portatil, que comprende un identificador operable para almacenar un transmitir un grupo de datos; una memoria, la memoria que almacena los criterios; y un controlador, en donde el controlador, la memoria y la interfaz se incluyen en el dispositivo quirurgico, y en donde el controlador es operable para configurar el dispositivo quirurgico con base en el grupo de datos transmitidos desde el identificador y recibidos en la interfaz. El identificador puede ser una etiqueta RFID y la interfaz puede ser una interfaz RFID que comprende un lector RFID operable para transmitir una instruccion de radiofrecuencia (RF) para activar la etiqueta RFID del componente portatil, y un microcontrolador operable para provocar que el elector RFID transmita la instruccion de RF. El componente portatil puede ser una etiqueta de identificacion que puede vincularse al usuario. El criterio puede ser los datos de autorizacion de usuario que se almacenan en la memoria y el controlador es operable para determinar si un usuario asociado con el componente portatil esta autorizado para utilizar el dispositivo quirurgico con base en si el grupo de datos transmitidos desde el identificador y recibidos en la interfaz satisfacen el criterio almacenado en la memoria. El criterio tambien puede ser un algoritmo que el controlador aplica al grupo de datos recibidos del identificador para determinar si el usuario esta autorizado para utilizar el dispositivo quirurgico. El controlador puede provocar que el dispositivo quirurgico se deshabilite si se determina que el usuario no esta autorizado para utilizar el dispositivo quirurgico (por ejemplo, el cirujano, tecnico o el paciente esta en el dispositivo quirurgico equivocado).
