Abstract

The present invention relates to a reconfigurable apparatus. A device that includes a work arm and a movable member. The working arm comprises a first arm, a second arm, a first electrode located on the first arm, and a second electrode located on the second arm. The movable member comprises a passive circuit element, a first end and a second end. The movable widget can be moved to the first and second positions. In the first position, the first end is electrically connected to the first electrode, and the second end is electrically connected to the second electrode, so that the circuit is completed in the first position. The impedance of the passive circuit components in the completed circuit was measured. The device is adapted to provide a modality based on the measured impedance or the measured position of the movable member.

Description

technical field [0001] These teachings relate to medical devices, and more particularly to medical devices adapted to provide a modality based on measured impedance, determined position of a movable member, or both. Background technique [0002] Some medical devices are equipped with one or more control mechanisms or mechanisms for applying, transmitting or providing one or more modalities to anatomical features or regions of interest. These modalities can be electrosurgical or non-electrosurgical. However, during a medical procedure, positioning and actuating one or more of these control mechanisms can be difficult, time consuming, and / or cumbersome. [0003] For example, in some instances, the control mechanism may be positioned outside the reach of the surgeon's natural hand position or fingers, which may undesirably require the surgeon to reposition its grip on the instrument and / or away from an anatomical feature or sites of interest to locate these control mechanisms...
