    摘要: A radio frequency (RF) device for use in electrosurgery is provided. The RF device comprises a flexible support member having an actuator passage extending therethrough and a flexible actuator member at least partially disposed within the actuator passage. An insulator housing is connected on its proximal side to the distal end of the actuator so that when the flexible actuator member is rotated, the insulator housing rotates about a rotation axis through the distal actuator end. The device also comprises at least one electrode extending distally from the insulator housing, the at least one electrode having first and second energy transmitting surfaces configured so that if the first energy transmitting surface is positioned to deliver electrical current with the insulator housing in a first angular orientation, rotation of the insulator housing to a second orientation positions the second energy transmitting for transfer of electrical current.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a programmable control module that may be connected to existing instrumentation in order to automate manual operations and/or perform new sequences of functions. As one specific example, the present invention provides for a programmable control module that may be connected to a commercial cell washing machine, and which directs the automatic performance of steps required to enzymatically deantigenize erythrocytes. There are a number of advantages associated with the present invention. Valuable non-automated or semi-automated instruments may be rendered programmable by an add-on control module, thereby increasing the reproduciblity of function while reducing manpower requirements and avoiding the consequences of human error. Furthermore, the control module may be additionally connected to auxiliary devices which improve the function of the host instrument, including, for example, pumps, valves, or sensors (including safety monitoring devices).
