Abstract: A computer-based surgery support system and method for obtaining information of surgical procedures from networked equipment in an operating room, storing the retrieved information in a database, receiving a request for the stored information from a user terminal, and providing the stored information in accordance with the received request. The networked equipment may be configured for use in cataract surgical procedures, such as a phacoemulsification system.

Abstract: A Phacoemulsification surgical system provides a live video feed from a camera that is attached to a surgical microscope. The live video feed is shown as part of a graphical user interface (GUI) of phacoemulsification surgical console either in a picture in picture or a full-screen format. The video feed is either static or displayed on-demand as needed during a surgical procedure. The displaying of a live video feed directly on the phacoemulsification surgical console allows for surgical assistants to interact with the live video feed and phacoemulsification surgical system parameters and/or GUI controls without having to refocus on an external object between near and far distances.

Abstract: A computer-based system and method is provided to allow for virtual access and control of a surgical console. The present invention may provide for the replication of the graphical user interface (GUI) associated with a piece of operating room equipment and the provisioning of the replicated GUI to an internet accessible platform that may act as an access point for a plurality of users.

Abstract: Apparatus, system and method for providing pressurized infusion of liquids and, more particularly, providing a stable and pressurized flow of fluid to the eye during surgery. Aspiration fluid may be received via an aspiration line at a first peristaltic pump, where aspiration fluid is transferred to a Venturi tank reservoir coupled to a second peristaltic pump. Fluid from a fluid source is provided via a third peristaltic pump to a pressurized infusion tank. A determination is made if the pressure in the pressurized infusion tank is at a predetermined level, where fluid may be transferred from the pressurized infusion tank to an irrigation line when pressure in the pressurized infusion tank is determined to be at the predetermined level. Alternate activation of a plurality of aspiration and irrigation lines are also provided.
