To obtain a clear fluid environment, slowly increase distention pressure
beginning with the initial pressure settings in Table 14.
W A R N I N G !
The initial pressure settings are recommendations, it is always appropriate and
prudent to use the lowest possible pressure setting to minimize extravasation
and any other pressure related injury to the patient.

How to Operate the AR-6480 in INFLOW ONLY Mode
W A R N I N G !
The Extension or Patient Tubing must be replaced before each new surgical
procedure.
1.
After adjusting the required pressure using the Pressure Set buttons
[Table 3, II or V], remove the cap from the patient end of the tubing.
2.
Open all appropriate tubing clamps.
3.
Activate the pump motor by pressing RUN [Table 3 or VI].
4.
Fill the entire length of the tubing with fluid to remove any air
bubbles.
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the air within the Sensor Chamber [g] on
the Pump Tubing Set.
5.
After the air has been purged from the tubing, close the clamp at the
patient end of the tubing. The rollers [13] should stop turning. This is
a safety check to ensure that the sensor system is working properly.
If the rollers do not stop, ensure clamp is firmly closed.
If the rollers turn continuously, the connector fitting [e] may not
be functioning properly. Replace the Pump Tubing.
6.
Connect the tubing to the inflow cannula.
NOTE:
A high-flow arthroscope sheath should be used for optimum flow
when rinsing through the inflow cannula
.
7.
Open the clamp on the tubing to release the flow.
Once the set pressure is reached, the pump will reduce flow to
maintain the set pressure. When the pressure drops, the flow
automatically increases until the set pressure is achieved. If the set
pressure cannot be attained, (no fluid restriction at the end of distal
end of tubing) flow will not exceed the user setting.
8.
When the procedure is completed, close all clamps and disable the
pump motor.
