Abstract
Systems and methods include positioning of a catheter lumen in a first position with respect to a thrombus, the catheter lumen defined by a catheter, initiating of evacuation of a tubing lumen, where the tubing lumen is not in fluid communication with the catheter lumen, determination that a pressure within the tubing lumen is equal to or less than a target aspiration pressure, and, in response to the determination that the pressure within the tubing lumen is equal to or less than a target aspiration pressure, automatic establishment of fluid communication between the tubing lumen and the catheter lumen.
Claims12
A method comprising:
- receiving a first command to position a catheter lumen in a position with respect to a thrombus, the catheter lumen defined by a catheter;
- and
- while the catheter lumen is positioned in the position with respect to the thrombus:
- receiving a second command to initiate evacuation of a tubing lumen while the tubing lumen is not in fluid communication with the catheter lumen;
- determining while the tubing lumen is not in fluid communication with the catheter lumen, that a pressure within the tubing lumen is equal to or less than a target aspiration pressure;
- and
- in response to the determination that the pressure within the tubing lumen is equal to or less than the target aspiration pressure while the tubing lumen is not in fluid communication with the catheter lumen, automatically establishing fluid communication between the tubing lumen and the catheter lumen.
