Abstract: A system can automatically regulate irrigation, suction, or both, such as during a lithotripsy procedure. The system can include one or more sensors. Processing circuitry can be configured to generate an indication of a level of turbidity of a solution at or near a distal tip of a flexible scope, such as based on one or more signals from the one or more sensors. A control signal can be used to adjust an irrigation flow rate and/or a suction rate at the distal tip of the flexible scope. The level of turbidity can be determined using a sensor to measure electrolytic conductivity of the solution, a sensor to measure electromagnetic induction across a coil at the distal tip of the flexible scope and/or a measure of back reflected light or a measure of absorbed light emitted into the solution by a light source and measured by a light sensor.

Abstract: A medical device having a handle and an elongate member extending from the handle is provided. The elongate member defines an elongate member lumen where a biopsy needle extends through the elongate member lumen. The medical device has an imaging device extending through a biopsy needle lumen of the biopsy needle. The imaging device extends between a proximal end of the biopsy needle and a distal end of the biopsy needle. The medical device has an elongate member opening at a distal end of the elongate member and a biopsy needle deployment feature proximate to the elongate member opening. The biopsy needle deployment feature moves between a first configuration and a second configuration. In the first configuration, the biopsy needle extends past the elongate member opening and in the second configuration the biopsy needle extends through the elongate member opening.
