ROBOTIC DRIVE SYSTEM FOR A CATHETER-BASED PROCEDURE SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240016560 titled 'ROBOTIC DRIVE SYSTEM FOR A CATHETER-BASED PROCEDURE SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a robotic drive system for a catheter-based procedure system. The system includes a positioning system connected to a patient table, which has a rail on its rear side. The robotic drive system also includes a linear member connected to the positioning system at a connection point, as well as at least three device modules connected to the linear member. Each device module is independently controllable and consists of a drive module with a cassette mounted on it. The cassette is designed to support an elongated medical device and is mounted in a vertical orientation. The width between the longitudinal device axis and the connection point is equal to or less than the distance between the insertion point for the medical device and the rail on the patient table.

• The robotic drive system is used in a catheter-based procedure system.
• It includes a positioning system connected to a patient table with a rail on the rear side.
• The system also includes a linear member and at least three device modules.
• Each device module is independently controllable and consists of a drive module with a cassette.
• The cassette is mounted in a vertical orientation and supports an elongated medical device.
• The width between the device axis and the connection point is equal to or less than the distance between the insertion point and the rail on the patient table.

Original Abstract Submitted

a robotic drive system for a catheter-based procedure system includes a positioning system coupled to a patient table, the patient table having a front side and a rear side. the rear side of the patient table has a rail. the robotic drive system further includes a linear member coupled to the positioning system at a connection point and at least three device modules coupled to the linear member. each device module is independently controllable and includes a drive module having a front side and a cassette mounted on the drive module. the cassette has a front side and is configured to support an elongated medical device having a longitudinal device axis. the cassette is mounted on the drive module in a vertical orientation so that the front side of the cassette is parallel to the front side of the drive. in addition, a width defined between the longitudinal device axis of the elongated medical device and the connection point of the linear member to the positioning system is equal to or less than a distance between an insertion point for the elongated medical device to a patient and the rail on the rear side of the patient table.
