  • Patent number: 12053225
    Abstract: Instrument and systems for applying ablative energy to epicardial tissue via a subxiphoid access surgical approach. The instrument has a head assembly sized and shaped for a subxiphoid surgical approach to a patient's heart and defines a contact face. The head assembly includes a paddle body, a first ablation electrode, and a second ablation electrode. The ablation electrodes are coupled to the paddle body in a spaced apart, spatially-fixed fashion. The ablation electrodes are exteriorly exposed at the contact face. A tubular member extends from the head assembly and maintains wiring connected to the ablation electrodes. The instrument is manipulable to locate the contact face on epicardial tissue of a patient's heart via a subxiphoid surgical approach, such as between the left and right pulmonary vein junctions of the posterior left atrium.

  • Publication number: 20230404691
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are described herein for autonomous operation of a surgical device within a predefined boundary. A discrete signal associated with clamping control (e.g., closure of a clamping jaw) may be received by the surgical device. The discrete signal may be triggered by a healthcare professional or autonomously activated. The surgical device, in response to the discrete signal and based on an algorithm, may generate a continuous signal to cause a continuous application of force or deployment of an operation. The surgical device, based at least on a measurement associated with one of tissue, inrush current, or the distance between the smart energy device and the smart grasper may determine a safety adjustment associated with the operation of the surgical device.

  • Publication number: 20230397969
    Abstract: A computing system may receive first operation data associated with a first surgical procedure and second operation data associated with a second surgical procedure. The computing system receive first outcome data associated with the first surgical procedure and second outcome data associated with the second surgical procedure. The computing system determine that each of the control algorithm of the first surgical device and the control algorithm of the second surgical device is an up-to-date control algorithm associated with the first surgical device type. The computing system generate first aggregation data based on at least the first operation data, the second operation data, the first outcome data, and the second outcome data. Based on the first aggregation data, the computing system determine a correlation between a first aspect of the up-to-date control algorithm and outcome data. Based on the determined correlation, the computing system generate an updated up-to-date control algorithm.

  • Publication number: 20230372012
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are described herein for detecting failure mitigation associated with a surgical task. A device may perform a first autonomous function associated with a surgical task. Performing the first autonomous function may be associated with control feedback. The first autonomous function may be monitored by tracking one or more outputs associated with the control feedback. If the one or more outputs cross a failure threshold, the device may switch from performing the first autonomous function to performing a second autonomous function associated with the surgical task. The second autonomous function may be associated with failure mitigation feedback.
