Abstract: Surgical methods and devices that facilitate registration of arthroscopic video to preoperative models are disclosed. With this technology, a machine learning model is applied to diagnostic video data captured via an arthroscope to identify an anatomical structure. An anatomical structure in a three-dimensional (3D) anatomical model is registered to the anatomical structure represented in the diagnostic video data. The 3D anatomical model is generated from preoperative image data. The anatomical structure is then tracked intraoperatively based on the registration and without requiring fixation of fiducial markers to the patient anatomy. A simulated projected view of the registered anatomical structure is generated from the 3D anatomical model based on a determined orientation of the arthroscope during capture of intraoperative video data. The simulated projected view is scaled and oriented based on one or more landmark features of the anatomical structure extracted from the intraoperative video data.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide a surgical console, a surgical cassette, and a method for utilizing an image sensor to acquire grayscale image(s) and an embedded microcontroller to then process the image(s) to decode the barcode and/or determine the current level of fluid within the surgical cassette. The image sensor is utilized to detect external light that comes into the field of view of the image sensor. A software algorithm stored within a microcontroller in the surgical console determines whether the potential is high for external light interference. If there is a high potential for external light interference, an advisory or alarm is generated to warn the user to remove the external light source or to turn the console away from the external light source. Once the user has removed the external light and then cleared the advisory, normal console operations and functions can resume.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide a surgical cassette including pump assemblies with improved contact between a displacement sensor disposed within a surgical console and a diaphragm disposed within the surgical cassette. Each pump assembly includes a diaphragm retainer ring that provides a sufficient creepage and clearance margin, acts as a lead-in for the displacement sensor, assists in preventing misalignment, and provides robustness for the ultrasonic welding process which couples the diaphragm retainer ring to the surgical console. The diaphragm retainer ring is impregnated with a lubricant so to facilitate seating of the displacement sensor with the cassette. A cantilever portion of the diaphragm retainer ring increases a creepage and clearance margin, as well as increases overall part strength in the event of a collision with the displacement sensor and during ultrasonic welding. An insulator is also provided that further increases the creepage and clearance margin.
