Claims21
A control console for controlling a variety of electrically powered medical devices, comprising:
- a device connecting module configured to communicate with each of a biopsy medical device and non-biopsy medical device;
- and
- a microprocessor based control module coupled to the device connecting module, the control module configured to direct an operation of the biopsy medical device based on communications from the biopsy medical device and configured to control one or more functions of the non-biopsy medical device based on communications from the non-biopsy medical device.
2-52. (canceled)
A multi-device control console for controlling a biopsy probe and at least one other medical device, the control console comprising:
- a plurality of connecting modules for communicating with the biopsy probe and the at least one other medical device;
- one or more connecting modules for communicating with one or more peripheral modules required to be operated with the biopsy probe and the at least one other medical device;
- a microprocessor based control module for controlling an operation of the biopsy probe and the at least one other medical device with the peripheral modules, and
- a software module for controlling logical and interface functions of the operation,
- whereby the software module is arranged to receive and process a predetermined software script from the biopsy probe and the at least one other medical device for operating the same and for displaying information relevant to the biopsy probe and the at least one other medical device on a graphical user interface.
