Patent ID: 8328732

Claim:
A biopsy system comprising: a. a first external device; b. a biopsy device comprising a housing and an internal motor, wherein the internal motor is disposed within the housing; and c. a control module interface in electrical communication with both the first external device and the biopsy device, wherein the control module interface is in mechanical communication with the biopsy device and disposed exterior to the housing of the biopsy device, wherein the control module interface is configured to be positioned remotely from at least one of the first external device or the biopsy device, wherein the control module interface comprises i. a motor comprising an output shaft, wherein the motor of the control module interface is in mechanical communication with the biopsy device via a mechanical cable, ii. operational electronics configured to permit control of the motor of the control module interface and the internal motor of the biopsy device, iii. a shaft connection assembly configured to engage the output shaft and the mechanical cable, wherein the shaft connection assembly is configured to facilitate communication of rotational motion generated by the motor of the control module interface to the biopsy device via the mechanical cable, iv. an electrical connector configured to communicate power and electrical signals between the first external device and the control module interface, wherein the electrical connector is further configured to communicate power and electrical signals between the control module interface and the biopsy device, and v. a cabinet configured to house the motor of the control module interface and the operational electronics.
