Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program products are provided for providing, simultaneously, a first dynamic user interface to a first device and a second dynamic user interface to a second device, the first dynamic user interface being different from the second dynamic user interface, wherein input at the first dynamic user interface causes real-time updating of the second dynamic user interface. One example method includes providing, via the first dynamic user interface of the first device, a set of data objects, each associated with an adjustable parameter, receiving input, at the first device, indicative of the adjustable parameter and a first data element, providing to the second device, via the second dynamic user interface, a subset of the set of data objects and the first data element, the first data element configured to display a particular characteristic of an associated member of the set of data objects.

Abstract: A system for analysis of biopsy samples includes a tissue sample transport mechanism linking a biopsy sample excision tool to a tissue sample holder disposed in a staging area of an analysis unit. The tissue sample is automatically transported from the excision tool to the specimen holder, where the tissue sample is analyzed in the staging area of the analysis unit. The transport mechanism may include tubing and a vacuum source. The tissue sample holder may be configured to slow or temporarily stop a tissue sample for individual analysis, or collect multiple tissue samples for analysis as a group. A tissue sample sorting mechanism may be employed that allows separation of specimens that can be correlated to the analysis.

Abstract: An introducer assembly is disclosed. The introducer assembly comprises an introducer cannula, an introducer hub and an introducer stylet body. The introducer cannula is defined by a distal end and a proximal end and has a lumen extending therebetween. The introducer hub is operatively connected to the introducer cannula, and wherein the introducer hub is configured for selective connection with multiple medical devices. The introducer stylet body is defined by a proximal end and a distal end and is removably disposed within the introducer cannula. The introducer stylet body may further comprise an imagable feature having a predetermined size disposed on a distal end thereof.
