  • Publication number: 20240180658
    Abstract: A method of robotically controlling interventional devices includes driving a first interventional device of an interventional device assembly in response to movement of a joystick of a controller, wherein the first interventional device is linked to the joystick such that movement of the joystick causes responsive movement of the first interventional device, receiving a user input, and in response to receiving the user input, linking a second interventional device of the interventional device assembly to the joystick so that movement of the joystick causes responsive movement of the second interventional device.

  • Publication number: 20240180659
    Abstract: A method of robotically controlling interventional devices includes providing an interventional device assembly having a plurality of interventional devices, advancing a first subset of the plurality of interventional devices into an ostium of the descending aorta in a first operation mode in response to movement of a control of a controller, wherein the first subset of the plurality of interventional devices is linked to the control in the first operation mode, and switching from the first operation mode to a second operation mode in response to a user input using the controller. Switching from the first operation mode to the second operation mode causes a second subset of the plurality of interventional devices to be linked to the control of the controller. The method further includes advancing the second subset of the plurality of interventional devices to a treatment site in the second operation mode.

  • Publication number: 20240180641
    Abstract: A robotic device control system includes a controller in communication with a plurality of hubs, each of the plurality of hubs coupled to one of a plurality of interventional devices. The controller includes a control and an operation mode actuator. The controller is configured to transition between a first operation mode and a second operation mode in response to actuation of the operation mode actuator. In the first operation mode, the control is linked to a first subset of the plurality of hubs such that movement of the control causes a responsive movement of the first subset of the plurality of hubs. In the second operation mode, the control is linked to a second subset of the plurality of hubs such that movement of the control causes a responsive movement of the second subset of the plurality of hubs.

  • Publication number: 20240180654
    Abstract: A robotic interventional device control system includes an interventional device; a controller in communication with the interventional device, the controller including a first control and a second control; one or more hardware processors in communication with the interventional device and the controller and a display; and a display. The one or more hardware processors configured to selectively link the interventional device to the first control or the second control such that movement of the selected control causes a corresponding responsive movement of the interventional device; and generate a user interface having an instrument window. The instrument window includes a representation of the interventional device; and an interventional device marker positioned relative to the representation of the interventional device.
