Abstract: Various apparatuses to attach a first medical device to a second medical device are described that allow the physician to grasp only a single device while the other device remains securely attached to the one being grasped. The apparatuses, once they are attached to the first medical device, are designed to be easily and quickly attached and detached to a second medical device, normally only requiring the use of one hand. Furthermore, the apparatuses oftentimes include a base that can easily couple and decouple from the portion that is attached to the second medical device so that if the need arises to separately use the second medical device, it can be decoupled from the first medical device without completely removing the apparatus from the second medical device.

Abstract: A cytology brush includes a shaft including a fluid lumen configured for passage of a fluid; a brush body including: a fixed element; and a moveable element with a radial outward surface and a plurality of bristles, wherein the bristles protrude externally from the radial outward surface. The moveable element is configured to receive the fluid through the fluid lumen to expand from an unexpanded configuration to an expanded configuration and in the unexpanded configuration of the moveable element, the bristles are in a retracted configuration and in the expanded configuration the bristles are in a deployed configuration.

Abstract: A medical system includes a processing unit, a medical device electrically coupled to the processing unit, and an electronic assembly disposed at a distal portion of the insertion portion. The medical device includes an insertion portion configured to be inserted into a body lumen of a subject. The electronic assembly includes at least a first sensor, a second sensor, and a switch. The electronic assembly is electrically coupled to the processing unit. The switch is configured to switch between the first sensor and the second sensor based on an instruction of the processing unit.

Abstract: A medical system may include a fluid source, a fluid reservoir, and a valve. The valve may be coupled to the fluid source and the fluid reservoir so as to permit fluid flow between the fluid source and the fluid reservoir. The valve may include a first opening configured to receive a medical instrument. Upon insertion of the medical instrument into the first opening of the valve, the medical instrument may be lubricated with a fluid from the fluid source.

Abstract: An atherectomy system includes a drive mechanism adapted to rotatably actuate an atherectomy burr and a controller that is adapted to operate the drive mechanism in a first operating mode in which the atherectomy burr is operated at a speed reference and with a predetermined torque limit. The controller is adapted to determine when the atherectomy burr becomes stuck while in the first operating mode and is further adapted to, when the atherectomy burr becomes stuck, operate the drive mechanism in a second operating mode that is different from the first operating mode.

Abstract: Several embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to medical visualization systems that comprise combinations of disposable and reusable components, such as catheters, functional handles, hubs, optical devices, etc. Other embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to features and aspects of an in-vivo visualization system that comprises an endoscope having a working channel through which a catheter having viewing capabilities is routed. the catheter may obtain viewing capabilities by being constructed as a vision catheter or by having a fiberscope or other viewing device selectively routed through one of its channels. The catheter is preferably of the steerable type so that the distal end of the catheter may be steered from its proximal end as it is advanced with the body. A suitable use for the in-vivo visualization system includes but is not limited to diagnosis and/or treatment of the duodenum, and particularly the biliary tree.
