A system for controlling a robotic drive configured to move one or more elongated medical devices. The system may include a housing comprising a first surface and a second surface not co-planar with the first surface, a first control integrated with the first surface and manipulable by a first digit of a first hand of a user to select one of the one or more elongated medical devices, and a second control integrated with the second surface and manipulable by a second digit of the first hand of the user to instruct the robotic drive to move the selected elongated medical device in a first degree of freedom, wherein the first control and the second control are simultaneously manipulable by the first digit and the second digit.

Systems and methods for a control station for robotic interventional procedures using a plurality of elongated medical devices

A robotic drive system for driving one or more elongated medical devices, the robotic drive can include a linear member and at least four device modules coupled to the linear member. Each device module may be independently controllable. The plurality of device modules may be switched between a first configuration where each device module is populated with an elongated medical device and a second configuration where a subset of the at least four device modules is populated with an elongated medical device.

Systems, apparatus and methods for robotic interventional procedures using a plurality of elongated medical devices

A system for controlling a catheter-based procedure system that includes a robotic drive configured to control rotational motion and axial motion of one or more elongated medical devices may include a body, a first control coupled to the body, and a second control coupled to the body. First control is configured to instruct the robotic drive to axially move one of the one or more elongated medical devices in response to manipulation of the first control by a user, and the second control is configured to instruct the robotic drive to rotate one of the one or more elongated medical devices in response to manipulation of the second control by the user, wherein the first control and the second control are positioned on the body so the first control and the second control can be simultaneously manipulated by a first digit and a second digit on a hand of the user.

A system includes a robotic drive comprising a plurality of cassettes, each cassette to move an elongated medical device (EMD) loaded therein, and an input module to issue instructions to the robotic drive. The input module includes a first two or more selection buttons to select a first two or more EMDs loaded in respective ones of the plurality of cassettes, a first control actuatable to cause issuance of an instruction to the robotic drive to simultaneously move each of the first two or more EMDs linearly, and a second control actuatable to cause issuance of an instruction to the robotic drive to simultaneously rotate each of the first two or more EMDs.

An apparatus includes a drive module having a drive module base component and a load-sensed component. An elongated medical device (EMD) is removably coupled to an isolated component. The isolated component is isolated from an external load other than an actual load acting on the EMD. The isolated component is removably coupled to the load-sensed component. A load sensor is secured to the drive module base component and the load-sensed component sensing the actual load acting on the EMD.
