Flow Control For Treating A Medical Condition
First Claim
1. An apparatus for treatment of a medical condition of a patient to provide drainage from a region of a patient to a drainage location, comprising:
- a memory having a plurality of different selectable treatment algorithms stored therein for treating a medical condition;
a processor associated with the memory and configured to execute one of the different treatment algorithms; and
a flow system controllable by the processor to regulate drainage of fluid from a body portion having a medical condition, the flow system being controllable according to a selected algorithm of said different selectable treatment algorithms.
