Claim 0:
1. A fluid management and medical device system comprising:
a fluid management system comprising:
a pump configured to pump fluid from a fluid supply source through the fluid management system at a fluid flow rate; and
a processing device including a user interface, the processing device configured to control the pump to maintain a target fluid flow rate based on a set of system operating parameters;

a medical device comprising:
an elongate shaft in fluid communication with the pump of the fluid management system;
a pressure sensor disposed at a distal end of the elongate shaft;
a handle coupled to a proximal end of the elongate shaft; and

wherein the processing device of the fluid management system is configured to adjust the fluid flow rate based on data received from the pressure sensor of the medical device;
wherein the processing device of the fluid management system is configured to verify the medical device is in a patient's body and connected to the fluid management system prior to adjusting the fluid flow rate based on the data received from the pressure sensor of the medical device; and
wherein the processing device is configured to perform the medical device verification each time the fluid management system attempts to use pressure data from the medical device to control fluid flow from the fluid management system.
