Abstract: Various exemplary methods, systems, and devices for joint to pump elevation level user interfaces, autocalibration for joint elevation, and joint pressure estimation are provided. In general, an arthroscopic pump can be configured to estimate fluid pressure at a surgical site, e.g., at a joint, to provide an accurate indication of fluid pressure to users. In an exemplary embodiment, the fluid pressure estimation is based on a fluid pressure measurement at the pump that is adjusted at the pump, e.g., by a processor at the pump that executes instructions stored in a memory at the pump, using one or more control algorithms that adjust for one or more factors, such as pressure loss in tubing and sheath through which fluid flows between the pump and the surgical site and elevation difference between the pump and the surgical site.

Abstract: In general, devices, systems, and methods for arthroscopic pump saline management are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a pump system including a pump is configured to manage fluid pumped by the pump to a surgical site during performance of a surgical procedure. The pump system being configured to manage fluid pumped to the surgical site can allow the pump system to manage fluid pressure at the surgical site by monitoring fluid loss at the surgical site. In other embodiments, the pump system being configured to manage fluid pumped to the surgical site can allow the pump system to manage fluid pressure at the surgical site according to a predetermined timing schedule.

Abstract: In general, devices, systems, and methods for surgical device activation detection using current sensing are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a surgical system includes a surgical pump, a detector, and a surgical device. The detector is configured to sense changes in electrical power in an AC power line from an AC power source to the surgical device to detect activation of the surgical device. In response to the detection activation, the pump can properly provide suction pressure to the surgical device to allow the surgical device to provide aspiration at a surgical site during performance of a surgical procedure.
