Abstract
The present patent application relates to a device for rinsing body cavities, as they are used, for instance, in the hysteroscopy, that determines, by using flow sensors, the introduced and discharged amount of rinsing liquid. Based on these flow measurements, it can be determined whether a relevant amount of liquid has been left in the patient.
