    • A surgical system, comprising an ultrasonic surgical instrument, including a waveguide defining a blade at a distal end thereof and a lumen extending through a portion of the blade, an inflow conduit disposed in communication with the lumen, the inflow conduit configured to supply fluid to the lumen, and a return conduit disposed in communication with the lumen, the return conduit configured to receive fluid from the lumen and a cooling module, including a pump assembly operably coupled to the inflow and return conduits, the pump assembly configured to pump fluid through the inflow conduit, into the lumen, and back through the return conduit for cooling the blade, at least one sensor configured to sense at least one of a property of the fluid pumped into the inflow conduit or a property of the fluid returned from the return conduit, and a controller configured to control the pump assembly according to the at least one sensed property wherein the at least one of the property of the fluid pumped into the inflow conduit or the property of the fluid returned from the return conduit indicates whether an error exists wherein the at least one sensor is configured to sense at least one of a rate of flow of the fluid returned from the return conduit or a rate of flow of the fluid pumped into the inflow conduit, and wherein the controller is configured to determine whether an error exists based upon the at least one rate of flow or wherein the at least one sensor is configured to sense gas bubbles in the fluid returned from the return conduit or gas bubbles in the fluid pumped into the inflow conduit, and wherein the controller is configured to determine whether an error exists based upon the presence of gas bubbles.
