What does the RCM stand for and what is its function?

Robotic center of motion. The RCM is the point in space we define when we setup the arms around the bed. It is an exact point in space (noted by the thick black band on the trocar), around which the robotic arm joints pivot during tele-robotic surgery.

What is the purpose of the REM pad?

It is a return electrode pad when using monopolar energy on the FT10, to allow the energy to complete its circuit and return safely to the FT10.

When replacing the RASA, why do we place the shipping bolts in the column?

To lock the counterweight stack for safety. Prevents the counterweight from accidentally being moved (without the weight of the RASA - the counterweight can damage the cart or cause personal injury if moved)

When replacing the SAFETY computer on the tower, which software steps does the FSE need to perform?

Hint: The SAFETY computer is one of the ESAT nodes for the tower.

Software and Language. Any computer or circuit board on the system that stores software appears in ESAT as a node. If we replace any of these parts, we will always need to redeploy software and language to that HLA.

What file format are the logs when the FSE pulls them from ESAT, and what file format do we convert them to when post-processing?

.TGZ (from the ORTI), and .JSON (after post-processing)

Which logs must be uploaded to Hugo Connect?

ALL clinical logs must be uploaded to Hugo Connect

False

What is the purpose of the sensor on the port latch?

To detect when a drape and port are attached.

How many ergonomic motors are there on the surgeon console?

4 (2 for armrest, 1 for 3D monitor, 1 for foot pedal plate)

What is the function of the hall-effect sensor in the cart base?

It is a magnetic sensor that detects when the cart brake is active.

What is the behavior of the system when the FDC (fault detection circuit) is triggered?

The Fault Detection Circuit (FDC) checks for electrical safety and will shut the affected ACA off if it detects an Ethercat fault. When the FDC is repeatedly triggered, it creates a fault record file on the e-box of the ACA, which needs to be cleared with an ESAT script.

PowerShell scripts should be installed to which folder on the FSE laptop?

C:\RSM\Files\In

What are the two official repositories for getting software and documentation for Hugo?

ThingWorx and the Hugo SharePoint Knowledge Base

6 (all of the robotic arm joints)

What is the range of motion of SA_J4?

Pitch, 75 total degrees of travel

Which component on the surgeon console is responsible for generating the GUI (graphic user interface) for the displays?

SCDC (surgeon console display computer) - this is one of the two nodes on the surgeon console, the other being the SMC

What percentage do the UPS batteries need to be charged to, in order to use the system in operable mode?

100%. The system will not let you start the setup until the batteries are fully charged.

What are the three types of PCBAs used on the RASA and which one(s) can be replaced in the field?

SA_J4 (pitch or tilt angle) and SA_J3 (yaw or dock angle)

When performing an Ebox replacement in the field, the FSE must perform a software and language deployment. How many system restarts into maintenance mode are required?

Two restarts. You can only deploy to a specific node one time per power cycle. Software deployments deploy to every node on the HLA, so you will always need to restart into maintenance mode to deploy language.
