Abstract: A pump and pump controller which uses an algorithm to quickly achieve and maintain a stable plasma field in a surgical site are provided. The algorithm calculates an electrical characteristic value to determine if the suction rate by the pump should be increased or decreased to achieve a stable plasma field. A method of using such a pump and pump controller is also provided.

Abstract: A pump with a controller for adjusting head pressure using a pressure boost is provided. The pressure boost may be dynamically adjusted during a surgical procedure based on the device being used and inflow and/or outflow settings.

Abstract: An in-joint pump and control device comprising a pump and an in-joint sensor. The pump is configured to convey fluid to a body joint surgical site. The pump has an algorithm associated therewith to make calculations and to assist in controlling the operation of the pump. The in-joint sensor is operatively associated with the pump by at least a communication member. The in-joint sensor comprises a sheath, an integration member attached to the sheath, a pressure sensor connected to the integration member, and a temperature sensor adjacent the sheath. The pressure sensor is adapted to provide pressure information to the pump via the communication member. The temperature sensor is also adapted to provide temperature information to the pump via the communication member.

Abstract: A pump and pump controller which uses an algorithm to quickly achieve and maintain a set pressure in a surgical site when high resistance hardware is being used is provided. The algorithm uses a gravity control type loop and uses pressure loss calculations to quickly respond to changing joint conditions. A method of using such a pump and pump controller is also provided.
