Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ergonomically improved foot switch to be used to control a micro surgical console and to be adapted to various users. SOLUTION: This foot switch comprises a base, a pedal attached to the base and a pair of side switches attached rotatably to the base at both sides of the pedal. The side switches are adjustable against the pedal in order to expand or reduce the interval between the side switches. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a user to easily select a different pulse mode and to easily adjust the parameter in the selected mode in a crystal lens ultrasonic emulsification suction surgery system allowing the user to select the pulse mode by touching a display screen. SOLUTION: The user interface 500 is displayed in the display screen 505 of the system. The interface 500 comprises a power display element 510, an on-time display element 520, and an off-time display element 530, and also comprises such display elements as the suction rate 550 and the vacuum limit pressure 560. The motion of a device is controlled according to the corresponding operation parameter and parameter values expressed in the interface 500 and programmed in the system by stamping and releasing a foot pedal.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cassette discriminating system for discriminating performance parameters of respective cassettes. SOLUTION: In this surgical system and cassette 10, the cassette 10 has a discrimination method specific to the cassette 10. Suitable methods for discrimination include a bar code 20 or a radio IC tag. Codable cassette information includes characteristics such as lot numbers, performance characteristics such as pressure sensor calibration data and flow quantity data, and other desired performance characteristics of the cassette 10 obtained in inspection of the cassette 10 when manufactured.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a user to easily select a different pulse mode by touching a part of a display screen in a graphical user system used in a crystal lens ultrasonic emulsification suction surgery system. SOLUTION: The interface comprises first and second display elements. One display element comprises an on-time expression 50 of pulses and the other display element comprises an off-time expression 60. An expression 20 shows how the on-time and the off-time vary according to the position of a controller such as a foot pedal. The expression shows constant time or that the time is extended or reduced as the foot pedal is stamped. A user can scroll a different pulse expression by touching the display element on the screen for selecting a pulse mode. The selected pulse mode may be continuous, pulse, burst, or a combination of them, or a derivative of them. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To ergonomiclly improve a footswitch to be adapted to a variety of users regarding the footswitch used for controlling a microsurgical console.SOLUTION: This surgical footswitch includes a base; a treadle pivotally and rotatably mounted to the base; and a pair of switches mounted to the treadle so that rotation or counter-rotation of the treadle operates the switches.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system which can identify all contents of a surgical pack and can adjust the operational parameter of the system for these contents automatically. SOLUTION: A surgical system console has an electronic identification system such as a bar-code scanner, a magnetic readout system, or another sensitive means (an optical, magnetic, or other system and so on) system which operates in relation to one and only identifier on a surgical pack in order to identify the contents of a pack for surgical console control (a CPU and so on). Information in the pack can be used for other various uses such as inventory management, product usage, tracking, the billing of a patient, the collection of statistical data, OR support, the automatic setting of surgical operational parameter by a surgical console, printout on a list of the contents of service and the surgical pack or other recordable means (a DVD, a CD-ROM, a flexible disk, a hard drive, a ZIP drive and so on).

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved graphical user interface in an ocular surgery system such as a crystal lens ultrasonic emulsification suction and vitreous body retina surgery system. SOLUTION: The interface or interface screen is generated in the step 2100. A user touches in a display element or another previously defined area etc., on the display screen in the step 2110. A window is generated in response to the touch on the display screen in the step 2120. The user can adjust the expression of the function of parameter or the value of parameter in the window in the step 2130. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
A surgical system console (12) having an electronic identification system (21), such as a bar code scanner (21), magnetic reader or other sensor, e.g., optical, magnetic or other system that works in conjunction with a unique identifier (18) on the surgical pak (14) so as to identify the contents of the pak (14) to the surgical control (12) such as a CPU 118. That information can be used for a variety of further activities, such as inventory management, product usage, traceability, patient billing, collection of statistical data, or support, automatic setting of the surgical operating parameters by the surgical console, servicing and to print (220) out the contents of the surgical pack on a list (200) or any other recordable media e.g., DVD, CD-ROM, floppy disk, hard drive, ZIP drive.
Abstract:
A graphical user interface for use in phacoemulsification surgical systems that allows a user to select different pulse modes by touching portions of the display screen. The user interface includes first and second display elements. One display element includes a representation of the on-time of the pulses, and the other display element includes a representation of the off-time. The representations show how the on-time and off- time change relative to a position of a controller, such as a foot pedal. The representation show a constant time, or that a time increases or decreases as the foot pedal is pressed. To select a pulse mode, a user can scroll through different pulse representations by touching the screen at the display elements. The selected pulse mode can be continuous, pulse, burst, or a combination or derivation thereof.
