摘要

The present invention is generally directed to improved methods, devices, and systems for controlling surgical fluid flows, particularly during treatment of an eye. In many embodiments, the invention provides a console that interchangeably accepts multiple types of eye treatment cassettes. The cassettes enable one or both of displacement-based or vacuum-based aspiration. The console and the cassette may communicate to establish the functionality of the installed cassette.
