Devices, systems, and methods for priming a fluid management system

A fluid management system, the system comprising:

• a fluid management console, comprising:
• a housing;
• a controller housed within the housing;
• an inflow pump disposed within the housing;
• and
• a user input interface;
• and
• a fluid cassette configured to be received within a receptacle of the housing of the fluid management console, the fluid cassette comprising:
• a housing defining a fluid pathway therethrough;
• an inflow tubing extending from the housing;
• and
• an outflow tubing extending from the housing;
• wherein the controller of the fluid management console is configured to perform a first stage of a priming procedure in response to a user input at the user input interface and a second stage of the priming procedure in response to a pressure drop within the fluid pathway of the fluid cassette;
• wherein if the second stage of the priming procedure is not initiated within a predetermined length of time after completion of the first stage of the priming procedure, the controller is configured to instruct the user to repeat the first stage of the priming procedure.

• wherein the controller of the fluid management console is configured to perform a first stage of a priming procedure in response to a user input at the user input interface and a second stage of the priming procedure in response to a pressure drop within the fluid pathway of the fluid cassette;
• wherein if a cycle time of the first stage of the priming procedure exceeds a predetermined maximum cycle time, the controller is configured to issue a timeout error.

• an inflow tubing extending from the housing;
• and
• an outflow tubing extending from the housing;
• and
• a clamp secured to the outflow tubing, the clamp movable between a closed configuration configured to block a flow of fluid through the outflow tubing and an open configuration configured to allow a flow of fluid through the outflow tubing;
• wherein the controller of the fluid management console is configured to perform a first stage of a priming procedure in response to a user input at the user input interface and a second stage of the priming procedure in response to a pressure drop within the fluid pathway of the fluid cassette;
• wherein opening the clamp initiates the second stage of the priming procedure.
