18. A medical device, comprising:
-
a memory, the memory configured to store instructions for execution; and one or more processing devices configured to execute the instructions, the instructions for causing the one or more processing devices to; determine whether a universal serial bus (USB) peripheral device is connected to the medical device, the medical device being configured for use in a medical procedure with a patient; and if the USB peripheral device is determined to be connected to the medical device, determine whether the USB peripheral device is drawing power from the medical device. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 51, 52)

26. One or more computer-readable media storing executable instructions, the one or more computer-readable media comprising tangible media, the instructions for causing one or more processing devices to:
-
determine whether a universal serial bus (USB) peripheral device is connected to a medical device, the medical device comprising the one or more processing devices, the medical device being configured for use in a medical procedure with a patient; and if the USB peripheral device is determined to be connected to the medical device, determine whether the USB peripheral device is drawing power from the medical device. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 53, 54)

34. A method, comprising:
-
determining that a universal serial bus (USB) peripheral device connected to a medical device is not drawing power from the medical device, the medical device being configured for use in a medical procedure with a patient; and responsively to the determining, providing an indication of a potentially unsafe condition to at least one of a user of the medical device or the patient, the potentially unsafe condition being that the USB peripheral device may be drawing power from a power supply independent of the medical device and thus may present a potential risk to the patient. - View Dependent Claims (35, 55, 56)

36. A medical device, comprising:
-
a memory, the memory configured to store instructions for execution; and one or more processing devices configured to execute the instructions, the instructions for causing the one or more processing devices to; determine that a universal serial bus (USB) peripheral device connected to the medical device is not drawing power from the medical device, the medical device being configured for use in a medical procedure with a patient; and responsively to the determining, provide an indication of a potentially unsafe condition to at least one of a user of the medical device or the patient, the potentially unsafe condition being that the USB peripheral device may be drawing power from a power supply independent of the medical device and thus may present a potential risk to the patient. - View Dependent Claims (37, 57, 58)

38. A method, comprising:
-
monitoring a first universal serial bus (USB) data line and a second USB data line on a medical device, the medical device being configured for use in a medical procedure with a patient; and if at least one of the first USB data line or the second USB data line goes to a high state, monitoring an output of a current detection circuit, the output being indicative of whether power is or is not being drawn from the medical device by a USB peripheral device connected to the medical device. - View Dependent Claims (39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 59, 60)
