COLLECTION RESERVOIR FOR USE WITH FLOW METER CONTROL SYSTEM

摘要

A collection reservoir 54 includes a rigid-walled cassette adapted for connection to aspiration tubing 50. The cassette also includes a pair of electrodes 36 positioned so that the electrodes are electrically connectable to a flow meter 34. In operation, the electrodes are exposed to the fluid and tissue being aspirated from the surgical site so that the flow meter indicates a flow rate of the fluid and tissue from the surgical site.
