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 support attaches a mechanism to a patient table having a patient supporting surface and a first rail and a second rail. The support comprising: a base; a first engagement member; a second engagement member; and a single engagement mechanism moving the first engagement member and the second engagement member from a loading position to a secured position securing the base to the first rail and the second rail.

Support for securing a robotic system to a patient table

A table attach support is configured to secure a medical device to a patient table having a patient supporting surface. The table attach support comprises: a first engagement mechanism including an attachment mechanism and a locking mechanism; a second engagement mechanism; and an extension member extending between the first engagement mechanism and the second engagement mechanism. The attachment mechanism is configured to actuate from a first position to a second position to secure the table attach support to the patient table. The locking mechanism is configured to lock the attachment mechanism in the second position.

Arrangement for securing a robotic system to a patient table

An example rotational joint assembly for a robotic medical system, the rotational joint assembly comprising at least one arm segment and a rotational joint provided at one end of the arm segment. The rotational joint is to allow the arm segment to rotate about a rotational axis. The rotational joint comprising a brake to lock rotation of the arm segment at the rotational joint and an actuator to selectively engage or disengage the brake. The actuator comprising a cam having two stable regions separated by two transition regions, the two stable regions comprising a first stable region corresponding to engagement of the brake and a second stable region corresponding to disengagement of the brake.

Rotational joint assembly for robotic medical system

A robotic medical system includes a post being substantially vertical and coupled to a base; a robotic drive having a socket for receiving the post; and at least one tapered interface shaped and oriented to engage the socket to prevent rotation of the robotic drive about at least one axis.

Attachment for robotic medical system

A system for controlling the position of an articulated robotic arm includes a robotic catheter procedure system having the articulated robotic arm and a controller coupled to the articulated robotic arm. The system further includes a patient table positioned proximate to and separate from the articulated robotic arm and a tracking system coupled to the controller and configured to measure a change in a position of the patient table. The controller is configured to adjust the position of the articulated robotic arm based on the measured change in position of the patient table.

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.
