The compensation module includes a setting that selects a compensation value from among a plurality of compensation values for a characteristic of the receiver. The memory stores a whitelist value from among the compensation values. The control module determines that a performance level of the receiver is below a performance level threshold. In response to determining that the performance level is below the performance level threshold, the control module uses the whitelist value to reevaluate the performance level of the receiver, and applies the whitelist value to the compensation module when the reevaluated performance level is above the performance level threshold.

Abstract: A medical driver can include a handle coupled to a drive shaft. The drive shaft can couple with an access assembly for drilling into bone, and can be displaced relative to the handle from a rotationally restricted state, in which the drive shaft is rotationally restricted relative to the handle, to a drilling state, in which the drive shaft is freely rotatable in at least one direction relative to the handle. The medical driver can further include a mechanical energy-storage device coupled to the drive shaft that can automatically rotate the drive shaft relative to the handle upon transition of the drive shaft to the drilling state. A biasing element can be coupled to the handle and to the drive shaft to provide a bias to maintain the drive shaft in the rotationally restricted state.
