  • Patent number: 11986632
    Abstract: A system and method for operating an analgesia administration system is disclosed. A control device is associated with a drug delivery device and configured to receive a first user input including at least a portion of a fingerprint of a patient, together with a second user input corresponding to a request to administer medication. The portion of the fingerprint is compared with previously-stored fingerprints to determine an identity of the patient and, in response to receiving the second user input and determining that the patient is an authorized user, one or more sensors are used to obtain one or more signals indicative of a state of the patient. If the state of the patient satisfies a set of medication delivery criteria, the drug delivery device is caused to administer a predefined amount of medication to the patient.

  • Publication number: 20220241045
    Abstract: A surgical handpiece system for use with a drill bit having an identification feature that includes magnetic material. A handpiece transfers torque to the drill bit to rotate the drill bit. A measurement module that includes a housing is coupled to the handpiece. A measurement cannula made of a non-magnetic material surrounds the drill bit during operation. The measurement cannula extends forward or rearward relative to the housing and has a distal end adapted for placement against a workpiece. A transducer assembly generates a transducer signal based on a position of the measurement cannula relative to the housing. A sensor generates an identification signal responsive to a magnetic field or magnetoresistance of the identification feature of the drill bit through the measurement cannula during operation. A controller receives the identification signal and identifies the coupled drill bit corresponding to the received identification signal.

  • Publication number: 20210378684
    Abstract: A surgical handpiece system capable of determining a suitable screw length for bone fixation with a bone plate that compensates an initial screw length value based on orientation of the surgical handpiece system during a drilling process. The surgical handpiece system comprising a surgical handpiece including a depth measurement extension and a sensor. The depth measurement extension may be configured to determine a thickness of bone when a drill bit is attached and used to drill through the bone. The sensor may be configured to generate an orientation signal responsive to orientation of the depth measurement extension. The surgical handpiece system also comprises a processor in communication with the sensor and configured to determine the suitable screw length for bone fixation based the sensor.
