1 Abnormal Operation
The AR-6480 employs a dual-pressure sensor design. Microcontroller-based
internal circuitry monitors the sensors, as well as other circuit parameters, to
ensure that the pump remains within normal operating limits. In the event of a
fault, the pump motor is automatically disabled and an error message is displayed
on the operator display [5]. See Table 3 for a complete list of operator display
messages and section 10.0 for troubleshooting information.
NOTE: If abnormal console operation cannot be corrected, disinfect the pump,
repackage in the original shipping materials, and return to Arthrex,
accompanied by a brief description of the malfunction. Prior to shipping, it
is necessary to obtain a return authorization number from Arthrex.

2 Overpressure Sensing
The sensing circuitry in the AR-6480 detects the pressure of the fluid in the tubing.
The overpressure alarm can be activated when the flow is abruptly interrupted or
the joint is suddenly positioned in a way which reduces the joint capsule volume
(e.g., bending the knee joint to the “Figure 4” position).
If an overpressure event occurs (300 mmHg), a warning message reading *Over
Pressure* will flash on the TPVD and an audible alarm will sound. The pump
motor is automatically disabled until the pressure returns to the set range.
To reduce the pressure in a joint, open an outflow and/or manipulate the joint to a
stress-free position.

The pump motor automatically deactivates when the roller housing door is
opened. A locking mechanism prevents access to the rotating parts while the
device is operating.
