US 2014/0153747 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PAIRING A COMMAND DEVICE INCORPORATING A MICROPHONE TO A REMOTELY CONTROLLED MEDICAL SYSTEM

Abstract

The system includes a remotely controlled medical system having a controller in communication with a command device incorporating a microphone. The system further includes a medical device operable by the controller and a sound generator coupled to the controller. The command device incorporating a microphone is paired to the controller for operating the medical device by detecting the sound. The command device incorporating a microphone transmits a signal in response to the sound to the controller to verify the pairing of the command device incorporating a microphone to the controller such that the controller will only operate the medical device in response to a command issued near the sound generator.
