Abstract
A surgeon console for a surgical robotic system includes a computer-readable media storing a plurality of alerts classified in a hierarchy of classes. The console includes a controller configured to receive an operator identifier associated with an operator of the surgeon console, receive a key performance indicator (KPI) value associated with the operator, enable adjustment of the plurality of alerts based on the KPI value, and monitor operation of the surgical robotic system based on the plurality of alerts.
Claims20
A surgeon console for a surgical robotic system comprising:
- a computer-readable media storing a plurality of alerts classified in a hierarchy of classes;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- receive an operator identifier associated with an operator of the surgeon console;
- receive a key performance indicator (KPI) value associated with the operator;
- enable adjustment of the plurality of alerts based on the KPI value;
- and
- monitor operation of the surgical robotic system based on the plurality of alerts.
A surgical robotic system comprising:
- a robotic arm including a surgical instrument;
- a surgeon console including:
- a handle controller configured to receive user input to move the robotic arm;
- a computer-readable media storing a plurality of alerts classified in a hierarchy of classes;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- receive an operator identifier associated with an operator of the surgeon console;
- receive a key performance indicator (KPI) value associated with the operator;
- enable adjustment of the plurality of alerts based on the KPI value;
- and
- monitor operation of the surgical robotic system based on the plurality of alerts.
A method for adjusting alert behavior based on operator experience, the method comprising:
- receiving at a surgeon console of a surgical robotic system an operator identifier associated with an operator of the surgeon console;
- receiving at the surgeon console a key performance indicator (KPI) value associated with the operator;
- enabling adjustment of the plurality of alerts based on the KPI value;
- and
- monitoring operation of the surgical robotic system based on the plurality of alerts.
