Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A system for anal and/or stomal irrigation comprises a reservoir for an irrigating liquid, a catheter comprising a catheter tip for insertion into the rectum or stoma of a user and for 5 expelling of the irrigating liquid from the catheter tip, and a tubing system providing a conduit for the irrigating liquid between the reservoir and the catheter tip. A pump is provided to pump the irrigating liquid from the reservoir to the catheter tip, and a control system controls a flow condition, such as the amount of liquid expelled at the catheter tip. A sensor determines a measure of pressure in at least one first predetermined position in the 10 tubing system and/or the catheter during operation of the pump, on the basis of which the flow condition is estimated. The control system is configured to control the pumping operation of the pump in response to the measure of pressure. NtN
