Abstract:
A cannula for a surgical system may include a magnet located in a position to be sensed by the surgical system in a mounted position of the cannula to the surgical system. At least one of a presence of the magnet and a polarity of the magnet is sensed in the mounted position of the cannula to provide identification information relating to the cannula. Exemplary embodiments further encompass a patient side cart for a teleoperated surgical system, the patient side cart including a base, a main column, and an arm connected to the main column. The arm may include a mount to receive a cannula and a reader to sense a magnet of an identification device in the cannula so as to receive identification information relating to a mounted cannula.

Claim (Index 1):
A cannula for a surgical system, the cannula comprising:\n a bowl portion at a proximal end of the cannula; a tube portion extending from the bowl portion to a distal end of the cannula; and an attachment portion protruding laterally from the bowl portion, the attachment portion being a projection configured to mount the cannula to the surgical system, and the attachment portion comprising an identification device; wherein the identification device comprises one or more magnets, the or each of the one or more magnets being oriented at one of the two magnetic polarities at a corresponding unique position of a planar array of a plurality of magnet positions, and wherein a presence or absence of a magnet of the one or more magnets at the corresponding magnet position, and the polarity of the magnet of the one or more magnets at the corresponding magnet position, are indicative of identification information relating to the cannula.
