Title:
APPLIED USAGE COUNT READER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/225996
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
This invention relates to devices that medical information systems. Previously, it was not possible for a person to determine key information about the medical device or surgical instrument after removal from a surgical robot. Embodiments of the present invention use an applied usage count reader and display device that is configured to read information embedded in memory of a limited-use medical device used by a surgical or robotic system and determine a remaining number of uses available for the limited-use medical device. The applied usage count reader and display device removes the human element from the determination of useful life left on the limited-use medical device by allowing staff to test the useful life and read the memory on the device at any time when away from the surgical system or operating room.
