The irrigation pump pumps fluid into the area (a joint in the case of arthroscopy) to distend it and make space to perform the surgery.

Huh. Maybe it's the IV pump... That's generally what I remember him doing. I think that's also referred to as infusion pump. Whatever it was, it wasn't a DEKA project, though. This was B.D., or Before DEKA. It wasn't the irrigation pump.
