Article: Unraveling Misconnections In Medical Tubing

Fri, 01 May 2009 18:36:00 GMT

A 24-year-old woman was nearly nine months pregnant when she was hospitalized for vomiting and dehydration. A nurse was supposed to connect a bag containing a nutritional solution to the woman's feeding tube to provide her with nutrients. Instead, the nurse mistakenly connected the feeding tube to the patient's IV line and injected the nutritional solution directly into her vascular system. Shortly after the mistake, the mother and her baby died.

Application Note: Micro-Precise Surgery Assistant

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 05:19:00 GMT

A miniature, high precision hexapod with 6 DOF is used as guidance assistance for spinal surgery. The bone- mounted system, named SpineAssist, will accurately guide the surgeon for maximized precision when placing implants destined to stabilize spinal (vertebrae) fusions in both open and minimally invasive surgery. Apart from the miniature hexapod robot, the system also consists of preoperative planning software with automatic fluoroscopic and CT image processing and a set of rigid bone fixation clamps and platforms.
