A fluid management and medical device system may include a fluid management system and a medical device having one or more sensors proximate a distal end of an elongate shaft of the medical device. The controller of the fluid management system may be configured to calculate the fluid deficit when the distal end of the elongate shaft is placed in the patient and automatically stop calculating the fluid deficit when the distal end of the elongate shaft is removed from the patient. In some instances, the controller uses the rotational speed of the inlet pump in combination with a difference between a change in the weight of the fluid source supplying the fluid to the fluid management system and a change in the weight of the collection vessel that collects the fluid from the fluid management system. is configured to calculate the fluid shortage. |
