Systems and methods for remotely controlling multiple robotic-assisted surgery systems

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• verify that a first robotic procedure console of a plurality of robotic procedure consoles and a first patient-side robotic procedure system of a plurality of patient-side robotic procedure systems are both of a first type, the first robotic procedure console being located remotely from the first patient-side robotic procedure system;
• responsive to verifying that the first robotic procedure console and the first patient-side robotic procedure system are both of a first type, establish a first communication session between the first robotic procedure console and the first patient-side robotic procedure system to allow the first robotic procedure console to remotely control at least one instrument or at least one imaging system of the first patient-side robotic procedure system;
• verify that a second robotic procedure console of the plurality of robotic procedure consoles and a second patient-side robotic procedure system of the plurality of patient-side robotic procedure systems are both of a second type, the second robotic procedure console being located remotely from the second patient-side robotic procedure system;
• and
• responsive to verifying that the second robotic procedure console and the second patient-side robotic procedure system are both of a second type, establish a second communication session to allow the second robotic procedure console to remotely control the at least one instrument or the at least one imaging system of the second patient-side robotic procedure system.

• verify that a robotic procedure console and a first patient-side robotic procedure system of a plurality of patient-side robotic procedure systems are both of a first type, the robotic procedure console located remotely from first patient-side robotic procedure system, and the plurality of patient-side robotic procedure systems including patient-side robotic procedure systems of the first type and at least one another patient-side robotic procedure system of a second type different from the first type;
• responsive to verifying that the robotic procedure console and the first patient-side robotic procedure system are both of the first type, establish a first communication session between the robotic procedure console and the first patient-side robotic procedure system to allow the robotic procedure console to remotely control at least one instrument or at least one imaging system of the first patient-side robotic procedure system;
• verify that a second patient-side robotic procedure system is of the second type;
• and
• responsive to verifying that the second patient-side robotic procedure system is of the second type, block establishment of a second communication session between the robotic procedure console the second patient-side robotic procedure system to prevent the robotic procedure console from remotely controlling at least one instrument or at least one imaging system of the second patient-side robotic procedure system.
