Abstract
A method is provided for intra-surgical use of a surgical patient health record in a teleoperated surgical system that includes a surgical instrument and a surgical instrument actuator, comprising: receiving user input commands to control movement of a robotic surgical instrument; tracking robotic surgical instrument actuator state in response to the user input commands; and transitioning robotic surgical instrument actuator state to a safety mode in response to the robotic surgical instrument transitioning to a prescribed actuator state.
Claims20
A method of transitioning a surgical system to a safety mode operation, the method comprising:
- identifying, by the one or more processors, a health record of a surgical patient that identifies one or more health characteristics of the surgical patient;
- identifying, by the one or more processors based at least on a first health characteristic of the one or more health characteristics of the surgical patient, a first surgical stage of a plurality of stages of a surgical procedure to be performed using one or more robotic surgical instruments that poses an enhanced risk to the surgical patient;
- identifying, by the one or more processors, that the first surgical stage of the surgical procedure is associated with the first actuation state of plurality of actuation states of a robotic surgical instrument of the one or more robotic surgical instrument and the first safety actuation state of the robotic surgical instrument;
- identifying, by the one or more processors, that the first robotic surgical instrument transitioned to the first actuation state;
- matching the first surgical stage with the first health characteristic of the surgical patient;
- determining that the first actuation state of the first robotic instrument matches the first safety actuation state of the robotic surgical instrument associated with the first surgical stage;
- and
- causing, responsive to the determination, the robotic surgical instrument to transition to a safety mode operation identified by the first safety actuation state associated with the first actuation state.
5 more elements
A surgical system comprising:
- one or more processors, coupled to memory, and configured to:
- identify a health record of a surgical patient that identifies one or more health characteristics of the surgical patient;
- identify, based at least on a first health characteristic of the one or more health characteristics of the surgical patient, a first surgical stage of a plurality of stages of a surgical procedure to be performed using one or more robotic surgical instruments that poses an enhanced risk to the surgical patient;
- identify that the first surgical stage of the surgical procedure is associated with the first actuation state of plurality of actuation states of a robotic surgical instrument of the one or more robotic surgical instrument and the first safety actuation state of the robotic surgical instrument;
- identify that the first robotic surgical instrument transitioned to the first actuation state;
- match the first surgical stage with the first health characteristic of the surgical patient;
- determine that the first actuation state of the first robotic instrument matches the first safety actuation state of the robotic surgical instrument associated with the first surgical stage;
- and
- cause, responsive to the determination, the robotic surgical instrument to transition to a safety mode operation identified by the first safety actuation state associated with the first actuation state.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions configured to cause a surgical system to perform operations comprising:
- identify a health record of a surgical patient that identifies one or more health characteristics of the surgical patient;
- identify, based at least on a first health characteristic of the one or more health characteristics of the surgical patient, a first surgical stage of a plurality of stages of a surgical procedure to be performed using one or more robotic surgical instruments that poses an enhanced risk to the surgical patient;
- identify that the first surgical stage of the surgical procedure is associated with the first actuation state of plurality of actuation states of a robotic surgical instrument of the one or more robotic surgical instrument and the first safety actuation state of the robotic surgical instrument;
- identify that the first robotic surgical instrument transitioned to the first actuation state;
- match the first surgical stage with the first health characteristic of the surgical patient;
- determine that the first actuation state of the first robotic instrument matches the first safety actuation state of the robotic surgical instrument associated with the first surgical stage;
- cause, responsive to the determination, the robotic surgical instrument to transition to a safety mode operation identified by the first safety actuation state associated with the first actuation state.
