Application: Direct laryngoscope training mode for video laryngoscope (Patent ID: US20240212516A1)
The patent filed by Medtronic Plc describes a training mode for a video laryngoscope that allows operators to practice and maintain direct laryngoscopy (DL) skills. In this training mode, the video image on the integrated display of the laryngoscope can be obscured, filtered, or turned off, while the unfiltered image is displayed on an external screen for a trainer to view. The training mode also involves adjusting the brightness and intensity of the light source on the laryngoscope, with the option to label recorded video associated with the training mode.
The method and system outlined in the patent involve operating the video laryngoscope in direct laryngoscopy training mode by displaying obscured images on the integrated display, with modifications like blur, watermark, or text overlay. The system includes an external display for unobscured image viewing, a light source with adjustable brightness, and a torque sensor for displaying torque data. The video laryngoscope itself features a power switch, handle, display screen, blade portion, camera, and light source, with a processor that activates the training mode, displays obscured images, and increases light source brightness. Additionally, the processor can transmit images to an external display, activate training mode with a long press of the power switch, and display device information while in training mode.
