Embodiment Construction

[0060] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0061] A preferred embodiment of a remote control device constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention is in Figure 1-5The population is expressed as 50. The telemanipulator 50 is adapted to engage and operate a medical device. The medical device may be, for example, an electrophysiological catheter of the type comprising an elongated sheath having a handle at its proximal end, through which an electrophysiological wire extends and exits the distal end, forming a loop. The handle preferably has controls for manipulating the distal end of the wire, such as translatable controls for bending the distal end and rotatable controls for expanding and contracting the loop. Although the preferred embodiment is described with respect to electrophysiological catheters, the invention is not limited to electrophysiological catheters, but applies to any medi...

Abstract

A system for operating a catheter having a distal end adapted to be navigated in the body, and a proximal end having a handle with a translatable control and a rotatable control for acting on the distal end of the device includes a support for receiving and engaging the handle of the catheter; a translation mechanism for advancing and retracting the support to advance and retract a catheter whose handle is received in the support; a rotation mechanism for rotating the support to rotate a catheter whose handle is received in the support; a translation operator for engaging the translatable control of a catheter whose handle is received in the support and operating the translatable control to act on the distal end of the device; and a rotation operator for engaging the rotatable control of a catheter whose handle is received in the support and operating the rotatable control to act on the distal end of the device.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Patent Application No. 12 / 954,648, filed November 25, 2010. It is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0003] This section provides background information related to the present disclosure which is not necessarily prior art. [0004] The present invention relates to the automated operation of medical devices. [0005] Significant progress has been made in the automatic navigation of medical devices through the body. Remote navigation systems, such as those from Stereotaxis, St. Louis, Missouri A magnetic navigation system that allows a physician to remotely orient the distal end of a medical device in the body. More recently, automated thrusters for advancing and retracting the device in the body have also become available, enabling a more comprehensive automated catheter navigation system. However, a practical setup for fully automated (und...
