Do not open or attempt to service this system, as this may void your warranty.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Removing the cover may introduce
an electric shock hazard by exposing you to dangerously high voltages or other
risks. If the system malfunctions, return it for servicing immediately.
7. To avoid the RISK of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to
a MAINS POWER SUPPLY with a protective earth terminal.
8. Do not have the device in direct contact with the patient if high-frequency
devices are in use, or if the patient requires defibrillation.
9. To ensure that correct pressure monitoring occurs, the pump and operative site
MUST be in the same horizontal plane.
10. DO NOT stack or place equipment adjacent to the AR-6480 console, if
possible. If such a configuration is necessary, carefully observe the
configuration in question to ensure that electromagnetic interference does not
degrade performance.
11. Use only Arthrex approved accessories. Other accessories may result in
increased emissions or decreased immunity of the system. Contact your
Arthrex representative for a complete list of accessories. DO NOT modify any
accessory. Failure to comply may result in injury to the patient and/or operating

new patient and/or procedure.
16. The sterile connector cap must be used to cover the pump tubing set connector
after each surgical procedure. This maintains sterility of the pump tubing and
ensures its safe operation throughout the entire surgical day.
17. If the tubing is disconnected from the pump, it MUST be replaced. Do not
attempt to reconnect the tubing to the pump as it could lead to unreliable
