Abstract: An endoscopic imaging instrument comprises an optical assembly and a sensor module coupled to the optical assembly. The sensor module comprises a plurality of electronic components and a seal member. The seal member includes an interior surface defining a hermetic cavity. The plurality of electronic components are positioned within the hermetic cavity. The seal member further includes an exterior surface and a wall extending between the interior surface and the exterior surface. The seal member further includes a plurality of connectors within the wall. Each connector of the plurality of connectors is configured to electrically connect with one or more electronic components of the plurality of electronic components.

Abstract: An exemplary medical system includes a first electrical circuit on a printed circuit board (PCB) and configured to generate data, a second electrical circuit on the PCB and electrically isolated from the first electrical circuit, and a radio frequency (RF) communication interface assembly on the PCB. The RF communication interface assembly includes an RF transmitter electrically coupled to the first electrical circuit and electrically isolated from the second electrical circuit, an RF receiver out of direct RF signal path alignment with the RF transmitter, electrically coupled to the second electrical circuit, and electrically isolated from the first electrical circuit, and a waveguide between the RF transmitter and the RF receiver and configured to guide an RF signal representative of the data between the RF transmitter and the RF receiver.
