Abstract:
A system for accessing a patient's uterine cavity and detecting perforations in the uterus includes an elongated probe having a flow channel extending to a terminal outlet in a distal region of the probe. A fluid source is coupled to the flow channel, and a seal on the probe is positionable in an endocervical canal. The probe may be trans-cervically inserted into the uterine cavity, and a fluid may be introduced through the channel to flow outwardly from the terminal outlet into the uterine cavity. A parameter of said fluid flow is monitored to detect a perforation in the uterus.

Claim (Index 25):
The system of  claim 22  wherein the controller is configured to determine if a monitored fluid flow rate does not drop below the predetermined threshold minimum level over the predetermined time interval after initiation of the fluid flow to thereby characterize the uterus as perforated.
