A suction system includes an elongated shaft containing a suction lumen and a suction catheter containing an open distal end, an expansion tube, a lumen of the expansion tube configured to be hydraulically connected to the suction lumen, and fluid through the expansion tube. A compressible portion located between the distal and proximal ends of the expansion tube and the peristaltic pump configured to drive the Receives a first signal from a first sensor and a compressible portion that is configured to be connected to a peristaltic pump to drive from the distal end of the expansion tube to the proximal end of the expansion tube. To change the behavior of the peristaltic pump based at least in part on the first signal received from the first sensor connected to the suction lumen or expansion tube associated with the change in flow characteristics. Includes a configured controller. [Selection diagram] FIG. 38 |
