For example, during an endoscopy, fluid may be supplied through an endo scope to irrigate a site in a patient’s body which is being observed and to rins e the endoscope lens. To ensure patient safety, and to avoid the risk of damage to the endoscope or other medical equipment, the pressure of the fluid being pum ped must be monitored and controlled. However, since the fluid must be maintaine d in a sterile condition, it is not possible to use a pressure sensor which dire ctly contacts the pumped fluid.
