Mobile patient bed
First Claim
1. A mobile patient bed for moving a patient between at least two locations during a medical procedure, the mobile patient bed comprising:
- a communication device configured to selectively couple the mobile patient bed to at least one medical system;
at least one processor configured to;
receive a medical system command via the communication device and process the medical system command when the mobile patient bed is coupled to the at least one medical system;
receive and process a user command when the mobile patient bed is not coupled to the at least one medical system; and
refrain from processing the user command when the mobile patient bed is coupled to the at least one medical system;
a seat; and
a plurality of motors configured to position the seat along a first axis that is longitudinal with respect to the bed, a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis, and a third axis substantially perpendicular to the first and second axes, wherein the positioning of the seat along each axis is independent of the positioning of each other axis, respectively, and wherein the positioning of the seat is performed in response to the processed medical system command or the processed user command.

Abstract
A mobile patient bed may be used for moving a patient between at least two locations during a medical procedure. The mobile patient bed may comprise an interface configured to selectively couple the mobile patient bed to at least one medical system and at least one processor configured to receive a medical system command via the interface and process the medical system command when the mobile patient bed is coupled to the at least one medical system, receive and process a user command when the mobile patient bed is not coupled to the at least one medical system, and refrain from processing the user command when the mobile patient bed is coupled to the at least one medical system. The mobile patient bed may also comprise a seat and a plurality of motors configured to independently position the seat along a plurality of axes.

21. A method of performing a medical procedure, the method comprising:
-
moving a mobile patient bed between at least two locations during a medical procedure; in at least one of the at least two locations, coupling, with a communication device of the mobile patient bed, the mobile patient bed to at least one medical system; receiving, via at least one processor, a medical system command via the communication device and processing, with the at least one processor, the medical system command when the mobile patient bed is coupled to the at least one medical system; refraining, with the at least one processor, from processing a user command when the mobile patient bed is coupled to the at least one medical system; in at least another one of the at least two locations, decoupling the mobile patient bed from the at least one medical system; receiving and processing, with the at least one processor, a user command when the mobile patient bed is not coupled to the at least one medical system; and in at least one of the at least two locations, positioning, with a plurality of motors of the mobile patient bed, a seat of the mobile patient bed along a first axis that is longitudinal with respect to the bed, a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis, and a third axis substantially perpendicular to the first and second axes, wherein the positioning of the seat along each axis is independent of the positioning of each other axis, respectively, and wherein the positioning of the seat is performed in response to the processed medical system command or the processed user command. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
