Publication number: 20240090755Abstract: A fluid management system includes a pump configured to pump fluid through the system at a fluid flow rate. The system includes a processor including a user interface, the user interface allowing a user to input a set of system operating parameters, the processor being configured to control the pump to maintain a target fluid flow rate based on the set of system operating parameters. The system further includes a scope device coupled to the pump to deliver fluid to a target surgical site, the scope device including an elongated shaft extending from a distal end thereof, the elongated shaft including at least one sensor, the sensor transmitting sensor data relating to target surgical site to the processor. The processor automatically signals to the pump to adjust the fluid flow rate based on the sensor data.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Peter J. PEREIRA, Mayur Kiran PATEL, William STANHOPE, Eric WONG, Jozef SLANDA, Christopher P. GAUVIN, Chad SCHNEIDER, Brandon W. CRAFT, Kimberly DeGRAAF, Brian P. WATSCHKE, Timothy Paul HARRAH, Niraj Prasad RAUNIYAR, Sacha TANG

Publication number: 20210338044Abstract: A method for identifying material to be removed from a patient may use an imaging device, a display, a control unit, and an insertion device. The method may include obtaining a first set of image data from the imaging device, sending the first set of image data to the control unit from the imaging device, and analyzing the first set of image data based on at least one of a darkness, a contrast, or a saturation. The method may include generating a coded image identifying the material to be removed from the patient to be displayed on the display. The method may further include displaying the coded image on a first screen of the display, and indicating the material to be removed with the insertion device based on the displayed coded image.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2021Publication date: November 4, 2021Applicant: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Peter J. PEREIRA, Chad SCHNEIDER, Brandon W. CRAFT, Kimberly DEGRAAF, Jozef SLANDA, James M. GODDARD, Christopher P. GAUVIN
