摘要:
A surgical instrument. Various embodiments relate to a surgical cutting and fastening instrument that has an end effector with an anvil that can pivot between open and closed positions relative to an elongate channel that can support a staple cartridge therein. The anvil may be opened and closed by a drive system. Various embodiments employ a powered drive system for opening and closing the anvil and powering a knife and staple drive assembly used to cut tissue and deploy the staples in the cartridge. Other embodiments employ a mechanical system to open and close the anvil and employ a powered system to power the knife and staple drive assembly. In various embodiments, the drive assembly serves to axially and laterally align anvil relative to the elongate channel. The anvil is constructed to move in a substantially parallel path relative to the elongate channel during closing.

A conscious sedation system comprising a controller which generates an audio request for a predetermined response from a patient a response testing apparatus including a request assembly and a response assembly. The request assembly communicates to the patient the request generated by the controller and the response assembly is used by the patient to generate the response and communicates the response to the controller, wherein the controller is programmed to generate a request and to analyze the patient's response to the request and determine and record a baseline audio stimulus for the patient and after determining the baseline audio stimulus, the controller generates a request based upon the baseline stimulus. A method for using the automated audio calibration for a conscious sedation system is disclosed.
摘要:
A conscious sedation system and a response testing apparatus for a conscious sedation system. A controller generates a request for a predetermined finger movement response from a patient and analyses at least a finger movement response made by the patient to the request to determine a level of sedation of the patient. The response testing apparatus includes a request assembly and a response assembly. The request assembly communicates to the patient the request generated by the controller. The response assembly senses the finger movement response and communicates the finger movement response to the controller. The response testing apparatus includes a request assembly and a response assembly, wherein the request assembly and/or the response assembly is a finger touch response apparatus in one embodiment. In another embodiment the response testing apparatus includes a request assembly and a response assembly, wherein the request assembly and/or the response assembly is a handpiece sensor mechanism.
摘要:
A conscious sedation system, a response testing apparatus for a conscious sedation system, and a response assembly for a response testing apparatus for a conscious sedation system. A controller generates a request for a predetermined hand grip response from a patient and analyses at least a dynamic variable (such as a force, a pressure, or a distance) of a hand grip response made by the patient to the request to determine a level of sedation of the patient. A response testing apparatus includes a request assembly and a response assembly. The request assembly communicates to the patient the request generated by the controller. The response assembly senses the dynamic variable of the hand grip response and communicates the dynamic variable to the controller.

摘要:
A conscious sedation system comprising a controller which generates an audio request for a predetermined response from a patient, the request including a personalized message and a response testing apparatus including a request assembly and a response assembly. The request assembly communicates to the patient the request generated by the controller and the response assembly detects the response and communicates the response to the controller. The conscious sedation system can have an input to include the personalized message.
