Abstract
The sterile interface module includes a body member for coupling a surgical instrument to a robotic surgical assembly, a decoupling collar supported on the body member and movable relative to the body member from a first position to a second position, and a drive transfer assembly supported by the body member. The drive transfer assembly includes a drive coupler and a transfer shaft extending from the drive coupler. The drive coupler engages the robotic surgical assembly and the transfer shaft engages the surgical instrument. The drive coupler engages the robotic surgical assembly while the decoupling collar is in the first position to enable the robotic surgical assembly to robotically control the surgical instrument. The drive coupler is retracted within the body member while the decoupling collar is in the second position to prevent the drive coupler from engaging the robotic surgical assembly.
