摘要:
A surgical instrument particularly suited to endoscopic articulates an end effector by including an end effector having a geared articulation mechanism that converts rotational motion from a handle portion. A hollow articulation drive tube transfers the rotation motion in some versions to a spear gear, bevel gear or snaggle tooth gear articulation mechanism. Alternatively, one or more threaded drive rod offset from a longitudinal axis engages a worm gear or flex-neck articulation mechanism.

A surgical stapling and severing instrument particularly suited to endoscopic procedures incorporates a handle that produces separate closing and firing motions to actuate an end effector. In particular, the handle produces multiple firing strokes in order to reduce the required amount of force required to fire (i.e., staple and sever) the end effector. A linked transmission reduces the required handle longitudinal length, yet achieves a rigid, strong configuration when straightened for firing. A traction biased firing mechanism avoids binding in driving this straightened linked rack in cooperation with an anti-backup mechanism, with a lockout mechanism that prevents releasing the closure trigger during firing. Furthermore, an external indicator gives feedback to the surgeon as to how far firing has progressed, as well as providing a manual retraction capability.

摘要:
A surgical stapling and severing instrument particularly suited to endoscopic procedures incorporates a handle that produces separate closing and firing motions to actuate an end effector. In particular, the handle produces multiple firing strokes in order to reduce the required amount of force required to fire (i.e., staple and sever) the end effector. Varying the center of rotation, circumferential length, and depth of cam lobes in a cam disk that interacts with the firing trigger via a drive wedge allows optimization. In particular, mechanical advantages during specific firing strokes mitigates increased force to fire at the end effector, enabling a more uniform tactile force at the firing trigger.

A system and method of notifying a remote client of a sensor triggering event and providing to the remote client data related to the sensor triggering event. In one embodiment, the method includes: receiving a first notification signal indicating that a sensor has been triggered; identifying a data recording device associated with the triggered sensor, wherein the data recording device records video data; identifying a client device designated to receive the video data when the sensor has been triggered; transmitting to the client device a second notification signal indicating that the sensor has been triggered; receiving an acknowledgement signal from the client device; and transmitting the video data to the client device.

In one embodiment, a method for refilling a used ink cartridge includes determining a quantity of ink remaining in an ink holding chamber in the cartridge, determining a desired quantity of ink to refill the chamber based on a difference between a capacity of the chamber and the quantity of ink remaining in the chamber, and refilling the chamber with the desired quantity of ink. In another embodiment, a method for refilling a used ink cartridge includes introducing ink into an ink holding chamber in the cartridge, simultaneously with introducing ink into the chamber, monitoring the level of ink in the chamber, and ending the introduction of ink into the chamber when the level of ink in the chamber reaches a desired level.
