  • Publication number: 20240299125
    Abstract: A surgical control system in communication with a plurality of surgical devices includes a surgical pump configured to control a flow of surgical fluid to an operating site. A camera apparatus of the plurality of surgical devices is configured to capture image data depicting a surgical site. A system controller is configured to capture image data demonstrating the surgical site, identify a visibility metric of the image data, and determine a control setting for the surgical pump in response to visibility metric below a visibility threshold.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20240304320
    Abstract: A surgical control system is in communication with a plurality of surgical devices. In operation, the surgical devices broadcast device data including messages indicative of at least one of a control state and a detected condition associated with the operation of each of the plurality of surgical devices via a communication bus in communication with a plurality of device controllers of the plurality of surgical devices. Image data is captured demonstrating a surgical site and a surgery status is identified in response to the image data. Aggregate data is generated, including the surgery status and the device data, in a packet. The aggregate data is communicated over the communication bus.
