<p>A tool system for both powering a handpiece (12) and operating an irrigation pump. The pump includes a fixed pump head driven by a pump motor and a removable tube set. A readable memory such as RFID is integral with the tube set (46, 50, 54). The tube set memory contains data describing the physical characteristics of the tube set. A control console (16) reads the data in the tube set memory. Based on these data, data from the handpiece and the characteristics of the motor driving the pump head, the control console determines if the pump, including the tube set can provide irrigation fluid at appropriate flow rates for the handpiece. If the assembled pump, specifically the pump head and tube set, can provide fluid at the appropriate flow rates, the control console then regulates the operation of the pump motor so that fluid, when required, is delivered at those flow rates.</p> |
