Surgery Screen: The Surgical Step Panel
The Surgical Step Panel organizes the set of activities (steps) to be performed during
a surgical procedure in a left to right sequence. The procedure may be customized as
desired to meet the needs of the surgeon and the case to be performed. The Step panel
provides the following functionality:
Shows which step is currently selected (note that a step is associated with only
one surgical mode).
Shows which sub mode is currently selected for that step.
Allows the user to select a new step.
Allows the user to select a new sub mode.
Allows the user to select a “hidden” step (if applicable).
A selected step has the following properties:
The area behind the icon is highlighted in blue.
The icon is animated.
Buttons for submodes are shown above the step button.
The Step buttons act as radio buttons in that only one step at a time can be selected
and a step must always be selected at any point in time.
The Scroll Buttons allow the user to navigate to “hidden steps,” i.e. steps that are
either to the left or the right of the visible steps. The scroll buttons are only visible if
the current procedure contains more steps than can fit on the Step Panel.
Figure 2-51a shows an example of a Step Panel with three hidden steps to the right.
The Right Scroll button is enabled and pressing it displays a list of the hidden steps.
Any of the steps can be selected from the list. The selected step will be highlighted as
the selected step on the panel and placed in the rightmost position.

Surgery Screen: Surgical Submode Buttons
For Accurus Classic procedures, the submode buttons are always displayed as shown
in the Figure 2-49a. The submode buttons act like radio buttons (just like the step
buttons) and the currently selected sub mode is highlighted.
For Custom procedures, the submode buttons are only displayed when the user
presses the currently selected step. The submode buttons are then displayed for five
seconds enabling the user to select the desired submode. After five seconds, the
submode buttons will disappear.
