    Abstract: A sterility-preserving robotic frontend-system, including a flexible trajectory-guide including at least one force- and/or torque-transmitting coupling-member, a baffle-member separating a sterile section from a non-sterile section, and a sterility-sleeve attached to the baffle-member; an actuator unit having a sensor unit that senses at least one of a) whether a trajectory-guide is placed with respect to the actuator unit in a manner that allows engaging-members to accurately engage an actuator interface, and b) whether the engaging-members have accurately engaged the actuator-interface; and a retainer-receptacle adapted to temporarily accommodate the trajectory guide, and to restrain flexibility of the trajectory-guide while it is accommodated. A packaging-container having an inner sterile volume containing the retainer-receptacle and the trajectory-guide and a method of setting up such a sterility-preserving robotic frontend-system.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a feedback system for control or input gestures in a medical environment, which includes a presence detector which generates a threshold and acquires detection data which describe whether a medical input gesture reaches and/or crosses the threshold; and a computer which is connected to the presence detector and triggers a sterility-preserving response to a positive detection by the presence detector, wherein the computer is configured to provide user guidance comprising a warning message if actual contact with a medical display has been detected by the presence detector or a touch screen display or a touch detector on the display. The invention also relates to a medical image display system comprising such a feedback system and to a method of providing sterility-preserving feedback with respect to control or input gestures in a medical system.
