articular edemas for patients with pathologically-changed articular capsules
and for procedures involving an opening of the capsule (e.g. lateral release).
19. Slight swellings have been observed and described in the literature in cases
where roller pumps are used in arthroscopy. This build-up of fluid can lead to
postoperative swellings and pathological changes in patients. It is of the utmost
importance that the surgeon monitors both the system and the patient closely
while the roller pump is in operation.
20. Always start with the lowest possible pressure to achieve the desired joint
distention. Continue to increase distention pressure until a clear liquid medium
is obtained.
21. 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.
22. User-programmed “Pressure Set” values are increased by as much as 50% to
a maximum of 120 mmHg during the LAVAGE function. Exercise caution to
avoid injury to the patient.
23. After autoclaving, the accessory devices are VERY HOT. Handle with care to
avoid burns.
The PRECAUTION! symbol identifies methods and procedures that
must be followed to avoid damaging the device or causing it to
malfunction.
1. Do not disconnect the plug of the remote control or foot pedal unit by pulling on
the cable. Remove it by grasping and pulling on the body of the connector.
2. Only use replacement power cords that comply with medical grade standards,
IEC 60320-1 Subclause 3.21, Detachable Power Supply Cords or electrical
standards for the designated country where the AR-6480 is being used.
Contact your Arthrex representative for further information.
3. Avoid positioning the console so that it is difficult to disconnect the coupler or
plug from the mains power supply.
4. To prevent electrical shock do not use extension cords or two-prong/three-
prong adaptors.
5. Always use fuses with the correct values to avoid allowing overcurrent to enter
the system.
6. An incorrect fuse may increase the risk of electrical shock or fire hazard.
7. This device has passed testing for EMI / RFI radiation and susceptibility, and
EMC compatibility. This device may cause interference with other devices in
the near vicinity if not set up and used as instructed by Arthrex.
8. Do not attach the remote control or the foot pedal during the Self Test or
Programming Modes.
