The control console communicates to at least one medical device, and at least one peripheral module associated with the medical device if needed. The control console has a microprocessor for processing data to direct an operation of the medical device. ## Claims ### Claim 1 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. ### Claim at position 2 2-52. (canceled) ### Claim 53 (depends on 1) The control console of claim 1, wherein the non-biopsy medical device is one of a temperature probe, a heart rate monitor device, a drug infusion tool, and an anesthesia tool. ### Claim 54 (depends on 1) The control console of claim 1, wherein the biopsy medical device includes at least one radio frequency or mechanically energized tool. ### Claim 55 (depends on 1) The control console of claim 1, further comprising at least one peripheral module associated with the biopsy medical device, wherein the control module is communicatively interposed between the at least one peripheral module and the biopsy medical device. ### Claim 56 (depends on 55) The control console of claim 55, wherein the at least one peripheral module is controlled by the biopsy medical device. ### Claim 57 (depends on 55) The control console of claim 55, wherein the at least one peripheral module is a footswitch module. ### Claim 58 (depends on 55) The control console of claim 55, wherein the at least one peripheral module is a vacuum pump module. ### Claim 59 (depends on 55) The control console of claim 55, wherein the at least one peripheral module is a fluid pump module. ### Claim 60 (depends on 1) The control console of claim 1, further comprising a software module configured to receive a predetermined software script from at least one of the biopsy medical device and the non-biopsy medical device for operating the same. ### Claim 61 (depends on 1) The control console of claim 1, wherein the device connecting module wirelessly communicates with each of a biopsy medical device and the non-biopsy medical device. ### Claim 62 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. ### Claim 63 (depends on 62) The control console of claim 62, wherein at least one of the peripheral modules is an electro surgical generation module. ### Claim 64 (depends on 62) The control console of claim 62, wherein at least one of the peripheral modules is a footswitch module. ### Claim 65 (depends on 62) The control console of claim 62, wherein at least one of the peripheral modules is a fluid pump module. ### Claim 66 (depends on 62) The control console of claim 62, wherein the control console further comprises an operator module including one or more indicators. ### Claim 67 (depends on 62) The control console of claim 62, further comprising a power module. ### Claim 68 (depends on 62) The control console of claim 62, wherein the control module controls the operation of the medical device through wireless communication links. ### Claim 69 (depends on 62) The control console of claim 62, wherein the control module controls the operation of the medical device through wired communication connections. ### Claim 70 (depends on 62) The control console of claim 62, wherein the control module controls the operation of the medical device through digital signals. ### Claim 71 (depends on 62) The control console of claim 62, wherein the control module controls the operation of the medical device through analog signals.
