    Abstract: An instrument sterile adapter (310) couples a surgical instrument (120) and an instrument carriage (130). The instrument sterile adapter (310) includes an instrument plate (430) that provides a first surface to receive the surgical instrument (120) and a latch plate (400) joined to the instrument plate (430). The latch plate (400) includes a second surface to receive the instrument carriage (130) and latch structures. Each latch structure has a carriage latch arm (410) that extends away from the second surface of the latch plate (400) and an instrument latch arm (405) joined to the carriage latch arm (410). The instrument latch arm (405) extends through the instrument plate (430) and away from the first surface of the instrument plate (430). A connecting member (425) flexibly connects the carriage latch arm (410) and the instrument latch arm (405) to a remainder of the latch plate (400). The connecting member (425) may be perpendicular to the latch arms (405). The latch arms (405) may engage fixed locking surfaces in the instrument carriage (130) and the surgical instrument (120).

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a housing, a cable guide, a first cable, and a second cable. The housing is coupled to a shaft of a medical instrument. The cable guide is coupled to the housing, and defines a shaft opening into a passageway defined by the shaft. A first guide groove and a second guide groove are defined by the cable guide, with each of the first guide groove and the second guide groove being splayed outward from the shaft opening. The first cable is routed within the first guide groove and through the shaft opening, and is configured to slide within the first guide groove. The second cable is routed within the second guide groove and through the shaft opening, and is configured to slide within the second guide groove.

    Abstract: A method for using a surgical instrument comprises actuating a movable valve member at a first time during a surgical procedure by using a robotic action and actuating the movable valve member at a second time during the surgical procedure by using a manual action. The surgical instrument comprises the movable valve member, a robotic actuation piece, a chassis, an auxiliary channel defined in the chassis, a transport shaft coupled to the chassis, a cavity extending through the transport shaft that intersects the auxiliary channel, and a valve. The valve comprises the movable valve member, a manual button coupled to the movable valve member, and a valve channel that intersects an auxiliary channel. Robotic actuation comprises rotating the robotic actuation piece around an axis perpendicular to an axis of the movable valve member. Manual action comprises translating the manual button parallel to the axis of the movable valve member.

    Abstract: A valve system comprises a first valve plunger configured for insertion into a first valve plunger channel. The first valve plunger has a first latch member disposed at a distal end. A first sealing member and a first valve are opening disposed proximally from the first latch member. The valve system also comprises a second valve plunger configured for insertion into a second valve plunger channel. The second valve plunger includes a second valve opening that is longer than the first valve opening. The valve system also includes a valve body having the first and second valve plunger channels. The first and second valve plunger channels are configured to receive the first and second valve plungers, respectively.

    Abstract: A method for using a surgical instrument comprises actuating a movable valve member at a first time using robotic action and actuating the valve member at a second time using manual action. The instrument comprises the valve member, a robotic actuation piece, a chassis, a transport shaft coupled to the chassis, a cavity extending through the transport shaft, and a valve. The chassis is adapted to be mated with a robotic manipulator. The valve comprises the valve member, a manual button coupled thereto, and a valve channel. The valve member is configured to translate across the valve channel along an axis. Robotic actuation comprises rotating the robotic actuation piece around an axis perpendicular to the axis of the valve member. Manual action comprises translating the manual button parallel to the axis of the valve member. The robotic actuation piece remains engaged with the valve member during the manual action.
