Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and techniques for compensating for insertion of an instrument into a working channel of another instrument in a surgical system. According to one embodiment, a method of compensation includes: detecting insertion of an insertable instrument into a working channel of a flexible instrument; detecting, based on a data signal from at least one sensor, a position change of a distal portion of the flexible instrument from an initial position: generating a control signal based on the detected position change; and adjusting a tensioning of a pull wire based on the control signal to return the distal portion to the initial position.

Abstract: A magnetizing system for use in selectively magnetizing a needle of a medical device is disclosed. Once magnetized, the needle can be tracked by a needle guidance system, which assists the clinician placing the needle by visualizing on a display the position and orientation of the needle after its insertion into a body of a patient. An orientation key system is included with the magnetizing system to ensure the needle is positioned correctly in the magnetizing system. This in turn ensures that the needle is properly magnetized so as to be accurately tracked by the needle guidance system. In one embodiment a first key is included with the magnetizing system and configured to cooperatively mate with a second key included with the needle of the medical device. Various types of keys are disclosed herein.

Abstract: Various cartridge assemblies for surgical instruments are provided. Cartridge assemblies can include active sensors for applying stimuli to a tissue clamped by an end effector of the surgical instrument and a circuit configured to determine a tissue type of the tissue according to a change in the tissue parameter detected by the sensor resulting from a stimulus from the active element. Cartridge assemblies can also include physical features and/or stored data that identify the cartridge. Surgical instruments further can be configured to resolve conflicts when the physical features and/or stored data are not consistent with each other in their identification of the cartridge type.

Abstract: Co-manipulation robotic systems are described herein that may be used for assisting with laparoscopic surgical procedures. The co-manipulation robotic systems allow a surgeon to use commercially-available surgical tools while providing benefits associated with surgical robotics. Advantageously, the surgical tools may be seamlessly coupled to the robot arms using a disposable coupler while the reusable portions of the robot arm remain in a sterile drape. Further, the co-manipulation robotic system may operate in multiple modes to enhance usability and safety, while allowing the surgeon to position the instrument directly with the instrument handle and further maintain the desired position of the instrument using the robot arm.

Abstract: A method for authenticating the compatibility of a staple cartridge with a surgical instrument is disclosed. The method can comprise inserting a staple cartridge into a surgical instrument, receiving a first signal from a first RFID tag on a first component of the staple cartridge with an RFID reader system, receiving a second signal from a second RFID tag on a second component of the staple cartridge with the RFID reader system, comparing the first signal and the second signal to stored data for a compatible staple cartridge, and locking a staple firing system of the surgical instrument if the first signal and the second signal do not match the stored data for a compatible staple cartridge.

Abstract: An instrument registers and tracks a portion of a patient's anatomy by an Augmented Reality (AR) device worn by a surgeon during a surgical procedure. The instrument may be attached to the patient's anatomy. The instrument may be a tripod with a platform. A target plate having front and back faces may be securely attached to the platform. A two-dimensional (2D) code detectable by the AR device may be presented on the front and back faces of the target plate. The 2D code may define a coordinate system having a known relationship to a coordinate system for the patient's anatomy, e.g., through a transformation matrix. The AR device may utilize the coordinate system for the detected 2D code and the transformation matrix to present holograms in predetermined positions relative to the patient's anatomy.
