Sterile barrier and sensor set for medical devices

Abstract

Sterile barriers and sensor configurations for a medical device are described. The sterile barrier isolates internal elements, such as a battery pack or a sensor set, from the environment and the patient.

[0001] Related applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 868,940, filed June 30, 2019, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a medical device having multiple sterile barriers and sensor sets, and multiple related algorithms for controlling and tracking the motion of multiple device elements and users. Background technique [0004] Many medical devices, especially many surgical devices, must be kept sterile during use to minimize the risk of infection or other contamination to the patient. [0005] Devices with multiple internal parts and multiple mechanisms Medical devices are difficult to clean and sterilize, especially when the device or its multiple internal components (e.g. sensors, motor units) are used for more than one procedure, causing health risk. It is difficult to maintain the sterility of such devi...
