ABSTRACT:
Fluid management apparatus for a surgical instrument having fluid irrigation and aspiration lines includes a console having an aspiration pump and housing having a longitudinal axis. A chamber is disposed in the housing having an aspiration fluid inlet and aspiration fluid outlet, with the outlet being disposed along the longitudinal axis and connected to the aspiration pump. A frame is proved for engaging and holding the housing of the console with a longitudinal axis in a generally vertical orientation for preventing accumulation of gas within the chamber. In addition, a chamber inlet is disposed along a chamber perimeter in order to cause circulation of introduced fluid within the chamber to inhibit settling of particulate material within the chamber.
