Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for evaluating the integrity of a uterine cavity. A method comprises introducing transcervically a probe into a patient's uterine cavity, providing a flow of a fluid (e.g., CO2) through the probe into the uterine cavity and monitoring the rate of the flow to characterize the uterine cavity as perforated or non-perforated based on a change in the flow rate.

Abstract: A tissue resecting system includes an assembly having first and second tubular members. An electrical motor drive and controller moves the second member to resect tissue received in a window of the first member. A tachometer sends motor drive rotational signals to the controller, and the controller modulates a motor voltage in response to the signals from the tachometer both to drive the second member at a predetermined speed and to calculate resistance to driving the second member at the predetermined speed.

Abstract: A tissue treatment system includes a catheter and a generator. The catheter is configured to be introduced into a blood vessel. The catheter includes an ultrasound transducer disposed at a distal end portion of the catheter to emit an unfocused ultrasound energy to treat a target tissue from the blood vessel. The generator is configured to drive the ultrasound transducer with a frequency. The generator is configured to control the frequency to change during the treatment of the target tissue. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Abstract: A fluid management system for use in a tissue resection procedure includes a controller. An inflow pump is operated by the controller and configured to provide fluid inflow through a flow path to a site in patient's body. An outflow pump is operated by the controller and configured to provide fluid outflow through a flow path from the site in patient's body. A motor driven resecting device may be provided for resecting tissue at the site. The controller is configured to actuate an inflow pump and an outflow pump in response to various signals and various algorithms are provided to provide malfunction warnings and assure safe operation.

Abstract: A tissue treatment system and method of using the tissue treatment system determines a size of a body lumen, or a neuromodulation parameter corresponding to the size of the body lumen. The tissue treatment system fills a balloon with a fluid when the balloon is within a body lumen. A fluid parameter of the fluid is detected over a period of time. A parameter curve of the fluid parameter is determined. The parameter curve includes the fluid parameter versus an independent variable over the period of time. The parameter curve includes inflections that correspond to changes in the fluid parameter. Based on the inflections, the system can determine the body lumen size or the neuromodulation parameter. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Abstract: A treatment system includes a generator and a fluid transfer cartridge. The fluid transfer cartridge includes a cartridge shell defining a cartridge cavity between a front face and a rear face. The front face includes an opening, and the cartridge cavity is visibly exposed through the opening. The fluid transfer cartridge includes a syringe barrel disposed within the cartridge cavity, and a handle that extends from the front face over the opening. The syringe barrel can be visibly exposed on a side of the handle. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
