Abstract: An endoscopic system may include an endoscope including a handle and an elongate shaft extending distally from the handle, wherein the handle includes an inflow port in fluid communication with the elongate shaft, the inflow port being configured to fluidly connect to a fluid inflow line, an electronically adjustable orifice associated with the inflow port, and control circuitry for receiving a signal of a current size of the electronically adjustable orifice and/or for sending a signal to change a size of the electronically adjustable orifice. The system may include a first pressure sensor disposed upstream of the electronically adjustable orifice and a second pressure sensor disposed downstream of the electronically adjustable orifice.

Abstract: A fluid management system may include an inflow pump providing a fluid inflow to a medical device, at least one pressure sensor, and a controller configured to receive pressure signals from the at least one pressure sensor, the pressure signals corresponding to a system pressure within the fluid management system. The controller may be configured to detect which one of a plurality of medical devices is fluidly connected to the inflow pump based on the pressure signals from the at least one pressure sensor and an rpm of the inflow pump.

Abstract: In an image processing system, attribute extraction processing is carried out on image information. The attribute extraction processing being processing where attribute data representing the attributes of components forming the image information is extracted on the basis of the image information and the attribute data and image data representing the components are separately generated.
