The flexible catheter, coated with a temperature-responsive hydrogel, is controlled by the stomach temperature and softens upon entry, reducing mucosal friction damage. A miniature multi-segment pressure sensor is integrated at the catheter tip to monitor intragastric pressure in real time, ensuring it does not exceed a safe threshold of 5-15 mmHg. When the pressure exceeds the threshold, water injection is automatically paused and aspiration is initiated. Near-infrared spectroscopy and turbidity sensors are embedded in the catheter sidewall to detect the hemoglobin content and turbidity in the aspirated fluid, respectively.
