摘要	An optical catheter connection system is described which has two mating assemblies: a motor unit and an optical catheter connector. The optical catheter connector mates to the motor unit for coupling optical signal into and out of a catheter optical fiber and providing drive torque to the catheter optical fiber. The motor unit includes a rotary shaft powered by a motor for providing drive torque to the catheter optical fiber to rotate the fiber. The motor unit further includes a split sleeve for aligning a motor optical fiber with the catheter optical fiber for coupling optical signals between the two fibers. In one embodiment, a shield is provided around the outer surface of the optical catheter connector to help maintain a sterile field by forming a barrier between a clinician's sterile hand, which holds the optical catheter connector, and the non-sterile motor unit.
其他摘要	描述了一种光学导管连接系统，其具有两个配合组件：马达单元和光学导管连接器。光学导管连接器与马达单元配合，用于将光信号耦合到导管光纤中和从导管光纤耦合出来，并向导管光纤提供驱动扭矩。马达单元包括由马达提供动力的旋转轴，用于向导管光纤提供驱动扭矩以旋转光纤。电动机单元还包括开口套管，用于将电动机光纤与导管光纤对准，以在两根光纤之间耦合光信号。在一个实施例中，围绕光学导管连接器的外表面设置护罩，以通过在保持光学导管连接器的临床医生的无菌手与非无菌马达单元之间形成屏障来帮助维持无菌区域。
主权项	An optical catheter connector comprising: a hollow catheter ferrule having an opening; a fiber connector rotatably housed inside the catheter ferrulean optical fiber positioned along a rotational axis of the fiber connector; and a fiber ferrule attached to the fiber connector, wherein the fiber ferrule supports one end of the optical fiber.
