Appl. No.:

17/652441

Inventors:

- Irvine CA, US
Ping-Yang Shih - Santa Ana CA, US
Tiffany Diemtrinh Tran - Anaheim CA, US

International Classification:

A61F 2/24

Abstract:

An assistance system that can be used for prosthetic heart valve manufacturing or suturing procedures includes an automated fixture that can comprise an articulation arm and a target device holder. The target device holder can be positioned and oriented to reduce operator strain during a manufacturing or inspection process. The assistance system includes a user input device enabling the operator to move between positions to assist in such processes. The assistance system can also be trained by capturing sequences of position data corresponding to a manufacturing or inspection process.

Tiffany Diemtrinh Tran - Irvine CA, US

International Classification:

A61F 2/24
D05B 19/16
B25J 9/16
B25J 13/02

Abstract:

Methods for manufacturing or sewing a prosthetic heart valve and associated systems can include an assistance system that includes an automated fixture that can comprise an articulation arm and a target device holder. The automated fixture can be configured to rotate a target device held by the holder. The assistance system can include a camera system configured to generate an enlarged image of the target device, and a display configured to display the enlarged image. The display can also display information to aid an operator in performing a procedure, for example, instructions, reference images, or a visual indicator to indicate a target position on the target device for performing a step of the procedure.
