Reusable chip-on-tip camera for surgical robot

Our client asked:
Sagentia Medical was asked to develop high performance 2D and 3D chip-on-tip cameras for a robotic surgery system. In order to meet the cost per use targets, the camera needed to be suitable for multiple uses.
The project story:
- Conducted the optomechanical design of the 2D camera to achieve the required resolution, field of view, depth of field and illumination
- Integrated the camera with the overall robotic surgery system
- Identified high quality optical component suppliers, allowing the commercial supply chain to be established
- Designed the camera enclosure for cleaning and sterilisation during reprocessing by hospitals, testing prototypes to FDA guidance and AAMI standards incl. TIR 12 and TIR 30
- Developed electronics suitable for the environmental conditions imposed by steam sterilisation and vaporised hydrogen peroxide sterilisation
Results: deliverables and outcomes
- Novel design suitable for repeat cleaning and sterilisation
- Best in class optical performance
- 510k clearance and market launch
