Description, Indications for Use and Contraindications
The Double Pump RF provides liquid irrigation and aspiration for arthroscopic procedures in one unit through two individual
roller pumps. Both roller pumps are software controlled and automatically manage fluid and joint pressure based on procedure
settings chosen by the user. If needed, both outflow and pressure settings can be individually adjusted.
Disposable cassettes with tubing are used for liquid management from bags of irrigation liquid for inflow to the joint, and aspiration
of liquid from the joint to a waste container.
By controlling both inflow and outflow, the Double Pump RF accurately regulates pressure in the joint, and outflow from it. The
Double Pump RF also provides suction when used in conjunction with a shaver and / or a RF generator.

It has a pump tubing segment for the inflow pump that
pressurises the joint, and has 2 soft membranes to transfer
pressure in the cassette to pressure transducers on the front
of the pump.
• Double Pump RF Patient Cassette (Patient Cassette RF):
A disposable cassette for handling aspiration of liquid
from the joint through an outflow cannula, shaver hand
piece or RF Probe. It comprises a cuvette with reflector for
detecting blood and debris emerging from the joint.
• Double Pump Patient Cassette (Patient Cassette):
A disposable cassette for handling aspiration of liquid from
the joint through an outflow cannula or shaver hand piece
(not RF Probe). It comprises a cuvette with reflector for
detecting blood and debris emerging from the joint.
• Double Pump RF Irrigation Tubing (Irrigation Tubing):
A disposable tubing for administration of irrigation liquid
from the Day Cassette to the arthroscope. It has a check
valve and is packed together with Double Pump RF Patient
Cassette in a tray.
• Double Pump RF Single (Single tubing):
Same as Irrigation tubing, with check valve, but packed and
sold individually.
The check valve ensures that there is no back flow from the
patient into the Irrigation/Single tubing.
Description
