5.5 How to Operate the AR-6480 in RINSE Mode
The AR-6480 pump has a RINSE function for irrigation purposes. The RINSE
MODE is only accessible in INFLOW/OUTFLOW MODE.
1. Press the RINSE button [Table 3, ii or IV] to enable this function. The
RINSE button should turn color and begin a countdown. The outflow
will be increased to the factory default of 300mL/min with a pressure
increase of 30% for 60 seconds or to the user-defined parameters.
2. The RINSE mode will stop when the countdown reaches zero, or if the
user presses the RINSE button a second time.
5.6 Alternative Suction Pathway (ASP) Mode
The AR-6480 pump has an ASP function for minimizing clogging issues. The ASP
MODE is only accessible in INFLOW/OUTFLOW MODE. ASP mode changes the
suction pathway from the shaver suction pathway to the cannula suction pathway
while shaving. The shaver suction level will be maintained while the shaver is
activated.
1. Turn ON ASP MODE in the OUTFLOW SHAVER default menu.
2. Press the RINSE button on the remote control [IV] or foot pedal [ii]
while the shaver is activated to enable this function. The shaver button
will turn red. The suction pathway will change from the shaver suction
pathway to the cannula suction pathway.
3. ASP mode will stop when the shaver is deactivated or by exiting ASP
mode when the user presses the RINSE button a second time on the
remote control [IV] or foot pedal [ii] while the shaver is activated.
