The Patient Side Cart (PSC) is a robotic platform used for da Vinci Surgery. It is the operative component for both da Vinci systems and its primary function is to support he instrument arms and camera arm. It uses remote center technology. The remote center is a fixed point in space around which the Patient Cart arms move. Remote center technology enables the system to maneuver instruments and endoscopes in the surgical site while exerting minimal force on the patient body wall. The Patient Cart works in the sterile field, assisting the Surgeon Console operator by exchanging instruments and endoscopes, and by performing other patient-side activities. To help ensure patient safety, the action of the Patient Cart operator take precedence over actions of the Surgeon Console operator. |
