Assignee: CORINDUS, INC.
Field: Medical technology (Instruments)
Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 17:
18. A workstation for operating a robotic catheter system comprising:
a user interface configured to receive a first user input and a second user input separate from the first user input;
a control system operatively coupled to the user interface, the control system configured to remotely and independently control movement of a percutaneous device with a bedside system, wherein the percutaneous device is moveable both for advancement and retraction along a longitudinal axis of the percutaneous device and for rotation about the longitudinal axis of the percutaneous device; and
a device movement algorithm subsystem including a first set of instructions and at least a second set of instructions;
wherein the control system controls the percutaneous device based upon both the first user input causing advancement or retraction of the percutaneous device and at least one of the sets of instructions of the device movement algorithm subsystem operatively selected with the second user input causing an automatic rotation of the percutaneous device by a specified amount only as the percutaneous device is advanced or retracted in response to the user's operation of the first user input to cause automatic advancement or retraction of the percutaneous device and wherein the rate of rotation is a set non-zero rate, and wherein the set rate is a set degrees of rotation per unit of axial distance traveled.
