  • Publication number: 20240066219
    Abstract: A fluid management and medical device system may include a fluid management system and a medical device having one or more sensors proximate the distal end of the elongate shaft of the medical device. The controller of the fluid management system may be configured to calculate a fluid deficit when the distal end of the elongate shaft is disposed within a patient and configured to automatically pause fluid deficit calculation when the distal end of the elongate shaft is removed from the patient. In some instances the controller is configured to calculate the fluid deficit using rotational speed of the inflow pump in combination with a difference between a change in weight of a fluid supply source supplying fluid to the fluid management system and a change in weight of a collection container collecting fluid from the fluid management system.

  • Publication number: 20220370706
    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.

  • Publication number: 20210236728
    Abstract: A fluid management system may include an inflow pump configured to pump fluid from a fluid supply source to a treatment site within a patient at a flow rate; and a controller configured to operate at a target flow rate in a flow control mode. In the flow control mode, the controller may be configured to maintain the target flow rate while monitoring a measured pressure communicated to the controller from a pressure sensor. When the measured pressure reaches a preset pressure threshold, the controller may be configured to automatically switch from the flow control mode to a pressure override mode in which the controller automatically reduces the flow rate below the target flow rate to return the measured pressure at or below the preset pressure threshold.
