A rotor in the DC motor is divided into 2 M pole areas, wherein M is a positive integer not less than 1. The control apparatus comprises a phase detector, a current detector, a control circuit and a driving circuit. The phase detector detects the phase switching state of the pole areas to generate a standard phase signal. The current detector detects a current flowing through the DC motor in one of switching points of the standard phase signal to generate a current detection value. The control circuit periodically outputs 2 M drive signals, and determines to perform dynamically adjusting operation on the timing sequence of the drive signals according to the current detection value.

Initialization prompts the potential on a voltage connection of the DC motor to be checked, and an indicator is actuated if, during the check, a potential on the voltage connection of the DC motor is determined that is above a prescribed limit value.

The recovery of an intact volume of tissue proceeds with a delivery cannula distal end positioned in confronting adjacency with the volume of tissue to be recovered. A tissue cutting and capture assembly formed of a plurality of metal leafs is deployed from the distal end of the delivery cannula.
