Abstract:
A computer-based surgery support system and method for obtaining information of surgical procedures from networked equipment in an operating room, storing the retrieved information in a database, receiving a request for the stored information from a user terminal, and providing the stored information in accordance with the received request. The networked equipment may be configured for use in cataract surgical procedures, such as a phacoemulsification system.
Abstract:
A method and system for authenticating a user of a medical device is provided. Ocular signatures are stored in a database for at least one permitted user. Stored ocular signatures are compared to an individual ocular signature. The user can employ selected functionality of the medical device when at least one stored ocular signature substantially matches the individual ocular signature. The device may include a medical component and a computing device. The computing device includes a database configured to receive and maintain permitted user ocular signatures and a computational utility configured to compare the ocular signature of the user to at least one permitted user ocular signature maintained in the database. Upon determining that the ocular signature of the user substantially matches at least one permitted user ocular signature, the user is authorized to employ selected functionality of the medical device.
