Definitions

  • the present invention relates to surgical devices. More particularly, the present invention relates to surgical laser systems used in ophthalmic surgical systems. Even more particularly, the present invention relates to surgical laser systems remotely controllable to implement additional functionality.
  • the human eye can suffer a number of maladies causing mild deterioration to complete loss of vision. While contact lenses and eyeglasses can compensate for some ailments, ophthalmic surgery is required for others. Generally, ophthalmic surgery is classified into posterior segment procedures, such as vitreoretinal surgery, and anterior segment procedures, such as cataract surgery. More recently, combined anterior and posterior segment procedures have been developed.
  • the surgical instrumentation used for ophthalmic surgery can be specialized for anterior segment procedures or posterior segment procedures or support both. In any case, the surgical instrumentation often implements a whole host of functionality which may be used in the implementation of a wide variety of surgical procedures.
  • Laser surgery to the retina is the standard of care in the treatment of numerous ophthalmic diseases.
  • Diseases treated by laser photocoagulation include proliferative diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, cystoid macular edema, retinal vein occlusion, choroidal neovascularization, central serous chorioretinopathy, retinal tears, and other lesions.
  • a surgical laser system may be operable to implement functionality associated with multiple types of surgeries or other procedures, such that one surgical laser system may be used in multiple types of operations or procedures.
  • these “all-in-one” type of solutions typically have prices which are commensurate with their functionality, in other words they may be quite expensive.
  • Embodiments of the present invention provide a laser surgical system with a basic set of functionality which is remotely controllable to implement an advanced set of functionality.
  • a laser surgical unit operable to implement one set of functionality may be coupled to an advanced control unit such that the laser surgical unit may be controllable by the advanced control unit to implement a different set of functionality.
  • This set of functionality may include more complicated functionality than the laser surgical unit can implement in a standalone configuration.
  • embodiments of the present invention provide the advantage that the basic unit may be streamlined with regards to both cost and size, and the learning curve required to utilize the basic unit may be reduced relative to more complicated units allowing the basic unit to be utilized in myriad situations or procedures where an all-in-one unit would be complexity, cost, or size, prohibitive.
  • embodiments of the present invention may provide the advantage that, since a basic unit may be utilized in the implementation of more complex functionality, there is no need to duplicate the functionality or capabilities of the basic unit when implementing this advanced functionality. This may be advantageous to users of such laser surgical systems as they may able to purchase a basic unit at a lower initial price and have a cost effective upgrade path to advanced functionality which does not render the basic unit redundant.

  • the basic laser surgical system may be controllable by the advanced control unit to implement, or allow, a broader set of functionality to be implemented through the advanced control unit, such as pre-operation picture viewing, creating custom marked treatment pictures, creating and printing patient record, advanced customizations, doctor log in to activate custom settings, creating and firing custom laser pulse sequences, E-connectivity through an Ethernet port or wireless communication of diagnostics, statistics, service needs or to upload software upgrades, wireless RFID check in for the doctor and customer, etc.
  • a laser surgical system may be controlled by another unit (i.e. remotely controlled) to implement greater functionality than the laser surgical system is capable of implementing as a standalone device.
  • the basic unit may be streamlined with regards to both cost and size, and the learning curve required to utilize the basic unit may be reduced relative to an “all-in-one” unit, allowing the basic unit to be utilized in myriad situations or procedures where an “all-in-one” unit would be complexity, cost, or size, prohibitive.
  • a basic unit since a basic unit may be utilized in the implementation of more complex functionality, there is no need to duplicate the functionality or capabilities of the basic unit when implementing advanced functionality. This may be advantageous to users of such laser surgical systems as they may able to purchase a basic unit at a lower initial price and have a cost effective upgrade path to advanced functionality which does not render the basic unit redundant.

  • the software and/or microprocessor of advanced control unit 200 may also be operable to implement (e.g. duplicate) the functionality which basic laser surgical unit 100 is operable to implement in a standalone configuration, such that basic laser surgical unit 100 can be controlled by advanced control unit 200 in order to implement both the basic set of functionality and the advanced set of functionality (e.g. the set of functionality which can be implemented utilizing advanced control unit 200 and basic surgical unit 100 is a superset of the functionality which can be implemented using basic surgical unit 100 in a standalone configuration).
  • advanced control unit 200 may also comprise user interface 220 , which may, in turn, include a touch screen. This touch screen may serve as an interface through which an operator may select or control the functionality implemented by the combination of advanced control unit 200 and basic laser surgical unit 100 .
  • advanced control unit 200 may comprise a surgical console similar to the Series 2000® Legacy® cataract surgical system, the Accurus® 400VS surgical system, and/or the InfinitiTM Vision System surgical system, all available from Alcon Laboratories Inc. of Fort Worth, Tex., and can include a connection panel used to connect various tools and consumables to the surgical console.
  • the connection panel can include, for example, a coagulation connector, balanced salt solution receiver, connectors for various hand pieces and a fluid management system (“FMS”) or cassette receiver.
  • FMS fluid management system
  • a surgical console can also include a variety of user friendly features, such as a foot pedal control (e.g., stored behind a panel) and other features.
  • Advanced control unit 200 may also include swivel monitor 220 which can be positioned in a variety of orientations for whomever needs to see the touch screen of the swivel monitor. Swivel monitor 220 can swing from side to side, as well as rotate and tilt.
  • GUI graphical user interface
  • advanced control unit 200 may comprise communications port 210 , through which advanced control unit 200 may be coupled to basic laser surgical unit 100 (e.g. advanced control unit 200 and basic laser surgical unit 100 may communicate through communication ports 110 and 210 ) and advanced control unit 200 includes software and/or a microprocessor such that advanced control unit 200 is operable to control basic laser surgical unit 100 to implement a more advanced set of features than basic laser surgical unit 100 is operable to implement in a standalone configuration.

  • basic laser surgical unit 100 and advanced control unit 200 may be sensitive devices, and may comprise components (e.g. lasers) which could pose a danger if they are improperly utilized. Consequently, it may not be desirable to utilize a standard protocol which can be easily learned and taken advantage of to manipulate basic laser surgical unit 100 or advanced control unit 200 without proper training or authorization. Therefore, in some embodiments a standard connector may be utilized (e.g. an Ethernet connector) for communications ports 110 , 210 ; however a variation may be implemented on this standard connector to implement proprietary communications between basic laser surgical unit 100 and advanced control unit 200 .

  • lines between the two communication port 110 , 210 may connect to pins in locations other than those specified according to the standard Ethernet protocol, or pins of communication port 110 , 210 may be utilized for non standard purposes).
  • these types of scrambling arrangements may allow basic laser surgical unit 100 or advanced control unit 200 to detect the coupling of improper or incompatible devices, or improper attempts at control or communication, and take appropriate remedial action, such as logging the improper access, shutting down, sounding an alarm, etc.
