An example data capture system generates profile using captured parameters from a reference operator. The data capture system includes a user interface to receive inputs from a reference operator for operation of one or more elongated medical devices (EMDs); a sensor system to capture parameters associated with the inputs from the reference operator; and a processing unit to generate at least one profile using the captured parameters, the profile being associated with a characteristic of the reference operator.

Data capture and adaptive guidance for robotic procedures with an elongated medical device

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.

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

An apparatus for delivering therapeutic agent to an eye comprises a body, a cannula, a hollow needle, and an actuation assembly. The cannula extends distally from the body and is sized and configured to be insertable between a choroid and a sclera of a patient's eye. The actuation assembly is operable to actuate the needle relative to the cannula to thereby drive a distal portion of the needle along an exit axis that is obliquely oriented relative to the longitudinal axis of the cannula. The cannula may be inserted through a sclerotomy incision to position a distal end of the cannula at a posterior region of the eye, between the choroid and sclera. The needle may be advanced through the choroid to deliver the therapeutic agent adjacent to the potential space between the neurosensory retina and the retinal pigment epithelium layer, adjacent to the area of geographic atrophy.

Method and apparatus for suprachoroidal administration of therapeutic agent

An apparatus includes a base and a support including a non-straight channel extending therethrough. An elongated medical device extends through the channel and imparts a first load to a channel wall causing a reaction load on the support. A sensor is configured to measure a reaction load applied to the support.

Load sensing system for percutaneous device with a curved path

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.

Method and apparatus for subretinal administration of therapeutic agent

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.

Load sensing of elongated medical device in robotic actuation

An apparatus for delivering therapeutic agent to an eye comprises a body, a cannula, a hollow needle, an actuation assembly, and a detection/visualization system. The cannula extends distally from the body and is sized and configured to be insertable between a choroid and a sclera of a patient's eye. The actuation assembly is operable to actuate the needle relative to the cannula to thereby drive a distal portion of the needle along an exit axis. The cannula may be inserted through a sclerotomy incision and advanced through the choroid to deliver the therapeutic agent adjacent to the potential space between the neurosensory retina and the retinal pigment epithelium layer. The detection/visualization system is operable to detect or visualize penetration of the choroid of a patient's eye and provide feedback to the operator and/or automatic control of the apparatus based on penetration of the choroid.

Method and apparatus for sensing position between layers of an eye

An apparatus for delivering therapeutic agent to an eye includes a body, a cannula, a hollow needle, and an actuation assembly. The cannula extends distally from the body and is sized and configured to be insertable between a choroid and a sclera of a patient's eye. The actuation assembly is operable to actuate the needle relative to the cannula to thereby drive a distal portion of the needle along an exit axis that is obliquely oriented relative to the longitudinal axis of the cannula.
