Patent number: 12342983Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to devices, systems, and methods for controlling the flow of fluids in endoscopic systems, such as endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) enabled endoscopes. Some embodiments are particularly directed to valve sets and/or valve interface mechanisms for controlling air, water, and/or suction flow through a valve well for an endoscopic system. Several embodiments are directed to user interface mechanisms and techniques for enabling an operator to interact with and control endoscope valves. Many embodiments are directed to mechanisms and techniques for translating interface input motion into valve control motions. In one or more embodiments, the valve sets and/or valve interface mechanisms may be disposable.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2023Date of Patent: July 1, 2025Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Shaun D. Comee, Paula R. Limberg, Laura E. Richards, Rossana Zotti
