Operating Manual
AR-6450
Continuous Wave II Arthroscopy Pump
3.3

Operation

The following pressure levels are recommended for surgery:
Knee arthroscopy
Shoulder arthroscopy
Arthroscopy in small joints
The ideal intra-articular pressure depends on the indications for the arthroscopic procedure,
bleeding tendency and the possibility of ischemia.
WARNING: Although the safety and effectiveness of the pumps is verified and
documented, the risk of extra-articular edemas must always be kept in
mind for patients with pathologically changed articular capsules and
for procedures involving an opening of the capsule (e.g. lateral
release).
Always start with the lowest possible pressure to achieve the desired
joint distension. Continue to increase distension pressure until a clear
liquid medium is obtained.
1. After adjusting the required pressure, remove the cap from the distal end of the patient
tubing.
2. Open all tubing clips.
3. Switch the pump on.
4. Fill the entire length of the hose to remove any bubbles
After the air has been purged out of the system, close the clip at the sterile end
!
of the system. The pump must turn off when the tubing is clamped to ensure that
the sensor system is working properly.
If the pump does not turn off, check that the clip is firmly closed.
If the pump continues to run and the sensor does not work properly, replace the
roll pump tubing.
5. Connect the patient tubing to the inflow cannula.
NOTE: The high flow arthroscopy sleeve AR-3031 should be used for optimum
flow when rinsing through the inflow cannula.
6. Open the clip on the patient tubing to release the flow.
7. Once the set pressure is reached, the pump switches off. When the pressure drops, the
pump automatically starts again and pumps rinsing fluid into the joint at the set pressure
and flow.
8. When the procedure is completed, close all clips and turn the pump off.
