Systems and methods for operating a surgical device
A method for operating a surgical device, includes: determining whether a switch has transitioned from a first condition, corresponding to a first operating mode, to a second condition, corresponding to a second operating mode; when it is determined that the switch has transitioned from the first condition to the second condition: maintaining the first operating mode for a pre-determined time; in a case where the switch remains in the second condition throughout the pre-determined time, switching to the second operating mode after expiration of the pre-determined time; and when the switch returns to the first condition during the pre-determined time, maintaining the first operating mode after expiration of the pre-determined time.
1 . A method for operating a surgical device, comprising:
determining that a switch has transitioned from a first condition, corresponding to a first operating mode, to a second condition, corresponding to a second operating mode;
in response to the determination that the switch has transitioned from the first condition to the second condition:
maintaining the first operating mode for a pre-determined time;
in a case where the switch remains in the second condition throughout the pre-determined time, switching to the second operating mode after expiration of the pre-determined time; and
in a case where the switch returns to the first condition during the pre-determined time, maintaining the first operating mode after expiration of the pre-determined time.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing an indication to a user that the second condition is initiated.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the indication includes at least one of a tactile alert, an audio alert, or a visual alert.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first operating mode includes a low power level, and the second operating mode includes a high power level.
5 . A method for operating a surgical device, comprising:
determining that a switch has transitioned from an off condition, through a first condition corresponding to a first operating mode, to a second condition corresponding to a second operating mode within a first pre-determined time;
in response to the determination that the switch has transitioned from the off condition through the first condition to the second condition within the first pre-determined time:
outputting the second operating mode; and
determining whether the switch has transitioned from the second condition back to the first condition within a second pre-determined time;
in response to a determination that the switch has transitioned from the second condition back to the first condition within the second pre-determined time:
switching from the second operating mode to the first operating mode after expiration of the second pre-determined time; and
in response to a determination that the switch has not transitioned from the second condition back to the first condition within the second pre-determined time:
maintaining the second operating mode after expiration of the second pre-determined time.
6 . The method of claim 5 , providing an indication to a user that the second condition is initiated.
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the indication includes at least one of a tactile alert, an audio alert, or a visual alert.
8 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the first operating mode includes a low power level, and the second operating mode includes a high power level.
9 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
determining if the switch has transitioned from the second condition to the first condition;
in response to a determination that the switch has not transitioned from the second condition back to the first condition:
maintaining the second operating mode; and
in response to a determination that the switch has transitioned from the second condition back to the first condition:
determining a prior duration of the first operating mode;
switching from the second operating mode to the first operating mode; and
adjusting the first operating mode based on the second pre-determined time.
10 . The method of claim 9 , providing an indication to a user that the second operating mode is initiated.
11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the indication includes at least one of an audio alert or a visual alert.
12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the first operating mode includes a low power level, and the second operating mode includes a high power level.
13 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a computer-implemented method for operating a surgical device, comprising:
determining that a switch has transitioned from an off condition, through a first condition corresponding to a first operating mode, to a second condition corresponding to a second operating mode within a first pre-determined time;
in response to the determination that the switch has transitioned from the off condition through the first condition to the second condition within the first pre-determined time:
outputting the second operating mode; and
determining whether the switch has transitioned from the second condition back to the first condition within a second pre-determined time;
in response to a determination that the switch has transitioned from the second condition back to the first condition within the second pre-determined time:
switching from the second operating mode to the first operating mode after expiration of the second pre-determined time; and
in response to a determination that the switch has not transitioned from the second condition back to the first condition within the second pre-determined time:
maintaining the second operating mode after expiration of the second pre-determined time.
14 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the computer-implemented method further includes providing an indication to a user that the second condition is initiated.
15 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the indication includes at least one of a tactile alert, an audio alert, or a visual alert.
16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the first operating mode includes a low power level, and the second operating mode includes a high power level.
17 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining if the switch has transitioned from the second condition to the first condition;
in response to a determination that the switch has not transitioned from the second condition back to the first condition:
maintaining the second operating mode; and
in response to a determination that the switch has transitioned from the second condition back to the first condition:
determining a prior duration of the first operating mode;
switching from the second operating mode to the first operating mode; and
adjusting the first operating mode based on the prior duration.
18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the computer-implemented method further includes providing an indication to a user that the second operating mode is initiated.
19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the indication includes at least one of an audio alert or a visual alert.
20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the first operating mode includes a low power level, and the second operating mode includes a high power level, wherein the high power level is higher than a power level of the first operating mode.
