Device Description
The camera is an articulated instrument that includes a small stereo three-dimensional (3D)
camera with a 73-degree field-of-view (FOV) located at the distal end of the shaft. The camera
acquires 3D video from the surgical site in high definition (HD). The HD video is processed by
the system electronics in the Vision Cart and displayed on the Surgeon Console 3D viewer and
Vision Cart touchscreen.
The surgeon controls the camera with a single hand control (master). The camera does not
feature shaft roll, but the elbow and wrist joints enable the surgeon to move the camera tip (at
the distal end) to choose a vantage point to visualize the surgical scene.
The camera consists of the tip, wrist, forearm, elbow, shaft, housing, release buttons, cable,
and connector (
