摘要:
Catheters and methods are provided for determining a fluid flow rate of fluid located near a tip assembly of the catheter and providing an indication of the fluid flow condition and/or controlling one or more functions of the catheter based on the determined fluid rate. A method includes receiving a signal from a sensor located on a tip assembly of a catheter, the signal being indicative of a fluid flow condition of fluid located near the tip assembly. A processing device determines the fluid flow condition using the signal. Based on the determined fluid flow rate, the processor causes a device to output an indication of the determined fluid flow condition.
