Abstract: A system for controlling the position of an articulated robotic arm includes a robotic catheter procedure system having the articulated robotic arm and a controller coupled to the articulated robotic arm. The system further includes a tracking system coupled to the controller and configured to measure a change in a position of a patient table positioned proximate to and separate from the articulated robotic arm. The controller is configured to adjust the position of the articulated robotic arm based on the measured change in position of the patient table.

Abstract: A system for controlling a catheter-based procedure system that includes a robotic drive configured to control rotational motion and axial motion of one or more elongated medical devices may include a body, a first control coupled to the body, and a second control coupled to the body. First control is configured to instruct the robotic drive to axially move one of the one or more elongated medical devices in response to manipulation of the first control by a user, and the second control is configured to instruct the robotic drive to rotate one of the one or more elongated medical devices in response to manipulation of the second control by the user, wherein the first control and the second control are positioned on the body so the first control and the second control can be simultaneously manipulated by a first digit and a second digit on a hand of the user.

Abstract: A table attach support is configured to secure a medical device to a patient table having a patient supporting surface. The table attach support comprises: a first engagement mechanism including an attachment mechanism and a locking mechanism; a second engagement mechanism; and an extension member extending between the first engagement mechanism and the second engagement mechanism. The attachment mechanism is configured to actuate from a first position to a second position to secure the table attach support to the patient table. The locking mechanism is configured to lock the attachment mechanism in the second position.
