  • Publication number: 20260306729
    Abstract: A surgical pump assembly includes a user interface and an outflow pump cassette that has a cassette housing. At least one input tube extends to a tool connector end that is configured to couple with a plurality of surgical tools. An output tube extends to a drainage end. An identifier module is coupled to the cassette housing and contains identification data of the outflow pump cassette. A pump console includes a loading dock, a pump with a plurality of pump settings for effectuating removal of fluid and debris during a surgical procedure, and a sensor is located proximate the loading dock and configured to detect the identifier module. A control system is configured to receive the identification data and populate a menu on the user interface that includes a plurality of different pump setting profiles, each pump setting profile associated with a different one of the plurality of surgical tools.

  • Publication number: 20260306723
    Abstract: A surgical pump assembly includes a user interface and a pump cassette having a cassette housing. A distribution tube extends between the cassette housing and a liquid distribution end configured to apply a liquid to a surgical site. An input tube extends from the cassette housing to a fluid source. An identifier module is coupled to the cassette housing and contains identification data of at least one characteristic of the distribution tube. A pump console includes a loading dock to receive the pump cassette housing. The pump console further includes a pump with a plurality of pump settings for effectuating a flow rate of the liquid to the surgical site. A sensor is located proximate the loading dock and configured to detect the identifier module and obtain the identification data.

  • Publication number: 20260284307
    Abstract: A pump cassette includes a cassette housing defining an input aperture configured to receive a surgical solution and an output aperture configured to expel the surgical solution. A flow path is defined between the input aperture and the output aperture and includes a sensor segment having a sensor segment input opening, a sensor segment output opening, and a pressure module configured to react to changes in pressure. A sensor segment wall defines a portion of the flow path between the sensor segment input opening and the sensor segment output opening. The sensor segment wall includes a first sensor segment wall portion located between the sensor segment input opening and the sensor segment output opening and a second sensor wall portion extending transversely from the first sensor segment wall portion to a sensor segment wall terminal end.

  • Publication number: 20240299125
    Abstract: A surgical control system in communication with a plurality of surgical devices includes a surgical pump configured to control a flow of surgical fluid to an operating site. A camera apparatus of the plurality of surgical devices is configured to capture image data depicting a surgical site. A system controller is configured to capture image data demonstrating the surgical site, identify a visibility metric of the image data, and determine a control setting for the surgical pump in response to visibility metric below a visibility threshold.
