1. A fluid management system comprising:

  • an inflow catheter comprising an inlet end and an outlet end;

    an outflow catheter comprising an inlet end and an outlet end adapted to be positioned in a sink cavity;

    an implantable pump coupled to the outlet end of the inflow catheter and the inlet end of the outflow catheter, the implantable pump comprising a housing containing a positive displacement gear pump coupled to an electric motor and a controller coupled to a battery, the controller programmed to automatically activate the motor and gear pump to move fluid from the inlet end of the inflow catheter to the sink cavity responsive to operational parameters stored at the controller; and

    a non-transitory computer readable medium programmed with instructions that, when run on a computer, cause a graphical user interface of the computer to visually display information indicative of status of the implantable pump wirelessly transmitted from the implantable pump, the computer readable medium further configured to store adjusted operational parameters responsive to user input.
