4.1 How to Set Up the Console
Users are encouraged to contact their Arthrex representative if they require a
more comprehensive surgical technique.
4.2 AC Power Safety Considerations
The AR-9800 is powered by a medically rated universal AC input switching
power supply. This power supply allows users to connect the console to any
local AC mains outlet. Please use the appropriate plug and a reliable ground
conductor.
Arthrex supplies separate power cords for the U.S. and Germany with the AR-
9800. Contact your Arthrex representative if you need a power cord that must
meet the electrical standards of another country.
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-9800 is being used. Contact your Arthrex representative for
further information.
Avoid positioning the console so that it is difficult to disconnect
coupler or plug from supply main.
To prevent electrical shock do not use extension cords or 2 to 3
pronged adaptors.
NOTE: If required by local regulations connect the console to the hospital
equalization connector with an equipotential cable. Connect the power cord to a
wall outlet having the correct voltage. Otherwise, product damage may occur.
NOTE: If there is a power interruption of 30-90 seconds or longer, the probe and
console will reset to the factory settings.
NOTE: Maintain the console volume to a level that will be audible in a normal
operating room environment. The activation tone is heard from the console while
the foot pedal and hand controls are pressed.
Audible tones are also emitted from the console during initial setup and making
changes to the console settings.
The console is designed to meet power-saving guidelines. The console has an AC
mains switch on the front panel. When the supply main switch is OFF, no
electrical power is drawn by the console.
When the supply main switch is ON, the console executes a series of self-
diagnostic tests. Upon successful completion of these tests, the console displays
