A method for controlling characteristics of light emitted from a surgical light includes remotely configuring a surgical light, using a remote computing system communicatively connected to the surgical light, by selecting which of a plurality of characteristics of light emitted from the surgical light are adjustable by operation of a handle assembly of the surgical light. The method includes adjusting, using the handle assembly, at least one characteristic of the plurality of characteristics of the light emitted from the surgical light according to the selection of which of the plurality of characteristics of light emitted from the surgical light are adjustable by operation of the handle assembly.

Sterile handle control mechanism

A method for controlling a medical light by a handle assembly removably mounted to the medical light includes storing configuration data at a controller of the handle assembly that defines a mapping of handle assembly user inputs to medical light property adjustments; detecting a first user input to the handle assembly; and sending a control signal to the medical light to vary a property of light provided by the medical light according to the first user input and the configuration data.

Systems and methods for controlling a medical light via a software configurable handle assembly

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for powering light sources to reduce optical and/or electrical interference between the light sources and optical components in the same environment. The light sources may be powered using power modulation signals, whose frequency may be varied across modulation periods. Optionally, the frequency may be varied randomly or pseudo randomly. The systems and methods may additionally or alternatively introduce phase modulation into the control signals for driving channels of light sources. A phase difference in the control signals to at least two channels can reduce or avoid simultaneous or synchronous driving of the channels. The systems and methods described herein can vary one or more properties (e.g., frequency, phase shift, delay, duty cycle, power, etc.) of the power modulation signals.

Power modulation for powering one or more light sources

A surgical light for illuminating a target with light that has a reduced contribution of a portion of the visible spectrum includes a first light source configured to emit light having a first spectrum; a second light source configured to emit light having a second spectrum that does not include the portion of the visible spectrum; and a controller configured to simultaneously activate the first and second light sources for illuminating the target with light that has a reduced contribution of light in the portion of the visible spectrum relative to white light.

Systems and methods for targeted spectral illumination

A surgical light including a light housing having at least one light source therein and a handle assembly extending from the light housing, with the handle assembly including a knob and a cover. The handle assembly is rotatably connected to the light housing. The cover covers the knob. Engaging the cover in a first mode and rotating the knob alters a first characteristic of light emitted from the at least one light source. Engaging the cover in a second mode and rotating the knob alters a second characteristic of light emitted from the at least one light source.

Disclosed are methods and systems that can maintain patient privacy in a video stream of a medical facility by obfuscating all patient identity information such that the patient's identity and medical information is protected. In addition, the system and methods disclosed herein can limit the change in the perspective of the camera based on a defined privacy zone in the medical facility such that the privacy zone is not in the field of view of the camera.

Display screen or portion thereof with a graphical user interface

A surgical room power system including at least one source of power wired to a power source for a surgical room, the at least one source of power being wired to the surgical room; at least one power receiver; and a surgical power consumer wired to the at least one power receiver, the surgical power consumer being configured to assist a surgeon during a surgical procedure on a patient. The at least one source of power wirelessly transfers power to the at least one power receiver for powering the surgical power consumer.

Operating room wireless power transfer

A pedestrian safety lighting device and system configured to mount to and be used in connection with existing traffic signals and intersections and increase awareness of pedestrians and vehicles of one another on a roadway is provided. In some embodiments, the pedestrian safety lighting device and system comprises a housing, at least one light source, a communication means, and a power source. More specifically, the communication means is configured to receive external data from the same or a different traffic signal, selectively illuminate the light source, and generate and transmit internal data to the same or a different traffic signal, or a data center. In further embodiments, the device and system may also comprise a light directing element, a light processing element, one or more sensors, a speaker, a camera, and a microphone.

Pedestrian safety lighting device and system

A surgical light including a substrate having a substantially planar top surface with a plurality of light sources on the substantially planar top surface, with each of the light sources emitting light in a cone when activated. The cone has a first spread angle. An optical system having a first area such that the light emitted from the light sources has a second spread angle after passing through the first area and a second area focusing or redirecting the light passing through the first area at a location a desired distance from the optical system. The second spread angle is less than the first spread angle.

Surgical light with beam redirecting optics

A Fresnel lens including a plurality of sawtooth-shaped projections, with each projection including a first surface at a first angle and a second surface at a second angle. Each first surface has top and bottom edges and each second surface has top and bottom edges. Each projection has a top intersection where the top edge of the first surface intersects the top edge of the second surface. Adjacent projections have a bottom intersection where the bottom edge of the second surface of a first one of the adjacent projections intersects the bottom edge of the first surface of a second one of the adjacent projections. The lens portion is opaque at the top intersection of the projections, at the bottom intersection of adjacent projections, and on the first surface between the top intersection and the bottom intersection.
