  • Publication number: 20240016555
    Abstract: A system comprises a medical function unit comprising a connector interface configured to be operably coupled to control a medical function of a medical instrument, a control system operably coupled to control the medical function unit, a first user interface and a second user interface each operably coupled to the control system. The first user interface comprises one or more first control settings mapping to one or more corresponding settings of the medical function unit. The second user interface comprises one or more second control settings mapping to the one or more corresponding settings of the medical function. The second user interface is operable during a condition of the first user interface being inoperable.

  • Publication number: 20230057639
    Abstract: A device pairing system is configured to determine that an auxiliary device detects an ultrasonic beacon emitted by a beacon generator and identify, in response to the determination that the auxiliary device detects the ultrasonic beacon, a medical system associated with the ultrasonic beacon. The auxiliary device is further configured to communicatively pair, in response to the identification of the medical system, the auxiliary device with the identified medical system.

  • Publication number: 20210158955
    Abstract: An application management system may provide, while a user device detects a beacon associated with a medical system, a user of the user device with access to a first set of medical session features of an application executed by the user device. The application management system may also provide, while the user device does not detect the beacon, the user with access to a second set of medical session features of the application, the second set of medical session features being different from the first set of medical session features.

  • Publication number: 20210158947
    Abstract: A beacon-based metrics system may track events associated with a user device located within a medical facility, determine that the user device detects a beacon emitted by a beacon generator located within the medical facility, and identify information included in the beacon. The beacon-based metrics system may generate medical facility metrics data representative of the tracked events by identifying a set of tracked events that occur during a time period in which the user device detects the beacon and associating the information included in the beacon with the set of tracked events.
