Publication number: 20230329935Abstract: Methods and systems for connecting a patient support apparatus to a hospital network and locating the patient support apparatus are provided. A patient support apparatus is associated with a communication device having a first and second communication interface for transmitting and/or receiving a first and second type of wireless signal. The patient support apparatus is electrically connected to a node serving as a power output and a wireless communication system connected to the hospital network. In response to the electrical connection, the communication device activates the first communication interface to form a wireless link with the node. In response to the patient support apparatus being electrically disconnected from the node, the communication device activates the second communication interface. The patient support apparatus is located by the node based on the second type of wireless signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2020Publication date: October 19, 2023Applicant: UMANO MEDICAL INC.Inventors: Anouer KEBIR, Steve BOLDUC, Esther BERTHELOT, Pascal ROUSSEAU, Ahmed ATOUBI, Ghislain DEMERS, Jérôme MARCOTTE

Publication number: 20170252248Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a tool manipulator, comprising a base, mountable on an operation table. A caliper is supported by the base and a tool holder is mounted on the caliper. An actuator positionable below a patient supporting surface of the operation table receives positioning commands for moving a tool in at least three degrees of freedom. The tool manipulator can be made part of a system for positioning a needle for diagnosis or treatment of the prostate of a patient. The system also comprises a power source connected to the actuator and a controller controlling the provision of the positioning commands to the actuator.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2015Publication date: September 7, 2017Inventors: Jean-Sebastien PLANTE, Genevieve MIRON, David BOUCHARD, Jerome MARCOTTE, Richard LABBE, Sylvain LACASSE, Claudia CHEVREFILS, Louis-philippe DION, David Mayen MORENO, Mathieu MERCIER
