Abstract: A medical device is determined not to be expired based on usage data received from a secure memory of the medical device upon connection to a computing system. Image data received from the medical device is processed and displayed. Usage metric(s) associated with the medical device are iteratively obtained and written to the secure memory, and compared to corresponding usage metric limit(s) to determine whether the medical device is expired. In response to determining expiration, an expiration value is written to the secure memory for storage. After determining expiration, the image data received is continued to be processed and displayed without interruption until the medical device is disconnected. Upon a next connection of the medical device to the computing system or another computing system, any image data received is failed to be processed and displayed based on the usage data received from the secure memory.

The medical system also includes a medical device including a handle, an insertion portion, and a connection portion configured to be coupled to the connection portion of the insertion device. The connection portion of the medical device is configured to be coupled to the connection portion of the insertion device to form an electronic and physical connection between the insertion device and the medical device.

Abstract: A computing system includes a plurality of signal processing boards configured to perform operations. Operations performed by a first signal processing board of the signal processing boards include: receiving a data signal from an image sensor of a medical device removably connected to the computing system; determining whether to route the data signal to a second or third signal processing board of the signal processing boards based on information associated with the image sensor, including characteristic(s) associated with the data signal, indicative of native or non-native support by the computing system; and, based on a determination of non-native support, providing the data signal to the third signal processing board. The third signal processing board is an expansion board removably connected to the computing system, and configured to perform operations, including: manipulating the data signal; and providing the manipulated data signal to the second signal processing board for processing.
