Abstract
First fluid lines for fluidically coupling a console to a medical instrument are connected to the console. The first fluid lines include a first irrigation line and a first aspiration line. Instrument-side ends of the first fluid lines are fluidically coupled to one another. A treatment fluid is conveyed through the first fluid lines from a source to a collecting container via a console-side pump. A second fluid line for the fluid is connected on the console side for fluidically coupling the console to the medical instrument or a further medical instrument. An instrument-side end of the second fluid line is fluidically coupled to at least one of the instrument-side ends of the first fluid lines. The fluid is conveyed through the second fluid line via the pump. A connection of the second fluid line is detected and the fluid is automatically applied to the second fluid line thereupon.
