From this link, click on the picture to the left and choose the full size view. Zoom in on the hand controls (of which there are two). Note the machining marks on the top surfaces of the hand controllers. Probably Delrin, I'm guessing, but not typically a cost-friendly material for production in an application which doesn't require substantial wear and abrasion resistance. But great for prototyping. Is this a picture of a production system? Just curious.

Then tell me how a user is supposed to access the keyboard while the controllers are in the way. Any wonder why Human Factors Engineering is important? Looks like this is the poster child for why HFE is important.

I noticed also that each of those four bases has a big (maybe 6") fan, to make extra noise during the procedure. Visibility across the room is already destroyed, so why not completely eliminate the chance of cross-suite communication ("Did you say 'Quick, go grab the defibrillator' or 'Breakfast is in the refrigerator'?).

And it leaves the patient with more holes than a Tom Brady football.
