Problems Solved: - Ensures proper use of surgical devices - Prevents errors during procedures
Benefits: - Improved surgical outcomes - Enhanced patient safety - Streamlined surgical processes
Commercial Applications: - Medical device manufacturers - Hospitals and surgical centers - Healthcare technology companies
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the device determine the allowable operation range? 2. What are the potential risks of using this system in surgical procedures?
Frequently Updated Research: - Ongoing studies on the effectiveness of the system in different surgical settings.
Original Abstract Submitted
A device, such as a computing device or a surgical device, may receive surgical operation data associated with a surgical operation. Based on the surgical operation data, a device may identify a surgical device to be used for a surgical operation and/or one or more surgical steps associated with a surgical operation. Based on the identified surgical device, the one or more surgical steps, and/or the surgical operation data, a device may determine an allowable operation range controlling a surgical device for a surgical procedure. A device may receive an adjustment input configuration to control a surgical device for a surgical step. A device may determine whether the adjustment input configuration is outside of the determined allowable operation range. Based on a determination that the adjustment input configuration is outside of the determined allowable operation range, a device may block the adjustment input configuration to control a surgical device.
