Disclosed herein is a fluid management assembly. The fluid management assembly includes a handpiece, a slider based fluid control mechanism, and a fluid occluding member. The slider based fluid control mechanism housed in the handpiece. The fluid occluding member is configured to be in communication with the fluid control mechanism. The fluid occluding member being separate from the handpiece.

Electromechanical slider valve suction controller

Disclosed herein is a medical device. The medical device includes two coaxially aligned solenoids and a cannulated armature configured to be received within the two coaxially aligned solenoids.

Disposable debrider with cannulated solenoid

Disclosed herein is a medical device. The medical device includes a blade tube section, a solenoid, and a mechanical arrangement. The blade tube section includes an outer blade tube, an inner blade tube, and a cutting window at a distal end of the blade tube section. The solenoid is offset from a central axis of the blade tube section. The mechanical arrangement is between the inner blade tube and the solenoid.

Methods of reciprocation in a surgical shaver

Provided is a medical system comprising a medical device, a feature sensor and a logic controller or processor wherein the logic controller is configured to monitor or control an operation of the medical device in response to the input of the feature sensor. Also provided is a method of monitoring or controlling an operation of a medical device by a logic controller through a plurality of sensors. Further provided is a method of minimizing or preventing tissue sticking of an electrosurgical device during a medical procedure on a patient.

Medical system with optimized effects

Disclosed herein is a medical device. The medical device includes a blade tube section, a motor, and a mechanical arrangement. The blade tube section includes an outer blade tube, inner blade tube, and a cutting window at a distal end of the blade tube section. The motor is offset from a central axis of the blade tube section. The mechanical arrangement is between the inner blade tube and the motor.

Provided is a power pack comprising an AC power connector configured to be connectable to an outside AC power source; a rectification and filtering unit configured to be in electronic communication with the AC power connector; a controlling unit; and a medical device connector configured to be connectable to a medical device, the medical device connector configured to be in electronic communication with the controlling unit, wherein the power pack is configured to be capable of detecting a connection of the medical device with the power pack and also capable of demonstrating the connection through an outside indicator disposed on the exterior of the power pack once the medical device is connected to the power pack through the medical device connector.

Power pack

Disclosed herein is a medical device. The medical device includes a blade tube section, a motor, and a cotch yoke or slotted link mechanism. The blade tube section includes an outer blade tube, an inner blade tube, and a cutting window at a distal end of the blade tube section. The motor is spaced from the blade tube section. The scotch yoke or slotted link mechanism is between the inner blade tube and the motor.

Disclosed herein is a medical device. The medical device includes a blade tube section, a motor, and a lever arm. The blade tube section includes an outer blade tube, an inner blade tube, and a cutting window at a distal end of the blade tube section. The motor is spaced from the blade tube section. The lever arm is between the inner blade tube and the motor.

A system comprising: (a) a sheath configured to receive all or a portion of an endoscope; (b) an irrigation line connecting the sheath to an irrigation source; (c) a suction line connecting the sheath to a suction source; and (d) a control module located between the sheath, and the irrigation source and the suction source and controls flow of irrigation fluid from the irrigation source to the sheath and movement of suction between the suction source and the sheath; wherein the irrigation source is connected to a resilient reservoir that is located within the control module and movement of the control module compresses the resilient reservoir moving irrigation fluid from the resilient reservoir to the sheath so that the irrigation fluid assists in cleaning the endoscope, and wherein the control module includes a valve and compression of the resilient reservoir initiates movement of the valve so that the valve opens and suction from the suction line is applied to the sheath.

Endoscope system including a resilient reservoir

A switch mechanism includes a housing with a fenestration, a switch element held in the housing, and a first tab and a second tab each being pivotally attached to an opposite lateral edge of the fenestration. The tabs are constrained to rotational movement relative to the housing so that contact with the first tab or the second tab causes the respective tab to rotate to actuate the switch element.

Electronic switch mechanism

Provided is a medical system comprising a controller unit configured to be capable of generating a first code or coded message; and a medical device unit configured to be capable of generating a second code or coded message, the medical device unit configured to be in electronic communication with the controller unit, wherein the controller unit is configured to lock the medical device unit from being used or reused if the first code or coded message does not match or is not identical to the second code or coded message. Also provided is a method of preventing use or reuse of a medical device unit as described herein.

System and method for preventing reuse of medical device

A surgical device employs a longevity circuit for preventing operation after a specified time based on safe use expectations. The surgical device delivers a therapy signal via a handpiece having electrodes in proximity to the surgical site. The therapy signal is a high frequency electrical signal delivered from a generator coupled to the handpiece, and activated by a control signal. A therapy circuit established by coupling the handpiece and generator delivers the therapy signal, and is monitored for activation based on a time since a first activation, a number of activations, or an aggregate time of activated intervals. A usage limit defines the activation lifespan, and is employed for monitoring either the therapy circuit or the control circuit, to determine a usage history. Following expiration of a safe usage limit, a longevity circuit in the handpiece disables the handpiece for successive uses, and is independent of a connection to a particular generator.
