1.0 General Warnings and Safety Notices - Read This First
It is imperative that the symbols and conventions listed below be clearly understood. The
DualWave Arthroscopy Pump User’s Guide identifies critical, important, and useful
information using these symbols and conventions.
1.1 Important Safety Conventions
Users of this device are encouraged to contact their Arthrex representative if they
require a more comprehensive surgical technique.
WARNING!
WARNING! is the most important safety symbol. It identifies critical
information that must be followed precisely to avoid injury or death.
1. All fluid inflow devices, including gravity assist, may cause fluid extravasations
into the surrounding tissues. This extravasation may be mild, moderate or
severe. In severe cases, the resulting edema may result in a serious adverse
patient event which may include compartment syndrome, nerve compromise,
or death. Undiagnosed capsular defects will exacerbate fluid extravasation
conditions.
2. Failure to follow the setup instructions and/or continuing to use the pump
without resolving an alarm condition could result in a serious patient adverse
event.
3. Failure to adhere to the setup instructions and use of Arthrex certified tubing
may result in inaccurate pressure sensing and monitoring by the device. It is
imperative that the user is aware that patient safety may be compromised when
an alarm on the pump is ignored or silenced incorrectly. NEVER ignore or
silence alarms. Follow appropriate troubleshooting procedures and carefully
monitor the patient. Only Arthrex certified tubing must be used
4. This device is only for use in normal arthroscopic procedures as described in
the User’s Guide, under the supervision of a trained and licensed physician.
This device should not be used by untrained personnel or used for indications
other than those described in this User’s Guide.
5. When utilizing any fluid management device, the patient (extremity and
surrounding area) must be monitored closely by the surgical team for signs of
excess fluid buildup. Fluid usage volumes should be monitored and compared
to similar surgical procedures. With all arthroscopy pumps, correct setup and
proper user operation is required. Always select the lowest possible pressures
in order to achieve the required intra-articular distention. All alarms or alerts
must be acknowledged and the appropriate troubleshooting procedure
followed.
6. No modification of the console (AR-6480) or accessories is allowed.

DFU-0212 Rev. 1 Page 2 of 54
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
room staff.
12. This equipment is NOT suitable for use in the presence of a flammable
anesthetic mixture with air, or with oxygen rich or nitrous oxide environment.
13. Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics or oxidizing gases such
as nitrous oxide, oxygen, or endogenous gases. All oxygen connections must
be leak free for the duration of the surgical procedure.
14. Use only Arthrex approved tubing accessories. Other accessories may result in
decreased pressure accuracy. Contact your Arthrex representative for a
complete list of accessories. DO NOT modify any accessory. Failure to comply
may result in patient and/or operating room staff injury.
15. The extension, patient, and/or outflow tubing must be replaced before each
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
pressure.
18. The safety and effectiveness of the AR-6480 is verified and documented;
however, the AR-6480 must be used with an awareness of the risk of extra-

DualWave Arthroscopy Pump User’s Guide
DFU-0212 Rev. 1 Page 3 of 54
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.

2.1 Product Description and Intended Use
The Arthrex AR-6480 DualWave Arthroscopy Pump is a system that maintains
constant, non-pulsed control of intra-articular rinsing and distention pressure
throughout all phases of an arthroscopic surgical procedure. The AR-6480 is
intended to provide continuous pulse-free flow that reacts immediately to changes
in the intra-articular pressure so that joint distention can be sustained even under
high shaver extraction volumes or secondary outflow.
WARNING!
All fluid inflow devices, including gravity assist, may cause fluid extravasations into
the surrounding tissues. This extravasation may be mild, moderate, or severe. In
severe cases, the resulting edema may result in a serious adverse patient event
which may include compartment syndrome, nerve compromise, or death.
Undiagnosed capsular defects will exacerbate fluid extravasation conditions.
When utilizing any fluid management device, the patient (extremity and
surrounding area) must be monitored closely by the surgical team for signs of
excess fluid buildup. Fluid usage volumes should be monitored and compared to
similar surgical procedures. With all arthroscopy pumps, correct setup and proper
user operation is required. Always select the lowest possible pressures in order to
achieve the required intra-articular distention. All alarms or alerts must be
acknowledged and the appropriate troubleshooting procedure followed.
WARNING!
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE SETUP INSTRUCTIONS AND/OR CONTINUING TO
USE THE PUMP WITHOUT RESOLVING AN ALARM CONDITION COULD
RESULT IN A SERIOUS PATIENT ADVERSE EVENT.
Failure to adhere to the setup instructions and use of Arthrex certified tubing may
result in inaccurate pressure sensing and monitoring by the device. It is imperative
that the user is aware that patient safety may be compromised when an alarm on
the pump is ignored or silenced incorrectly. NEVER ignore or silence alarms.
Follow the appropriate troubleshooting procedures and carefully monitor the
patient. Only Arthrex certified tubing must be used.
WARNING!
This device is only for use in normal arthroscopic procedures as described in the
User’s Guide, under the supervision of a trained and licensed physician. This
device should not be used by untrained personnel or used for indications other
than those described in this User’s Guide.

Product Description
DualWave Arthroscopy Pump User’s Guide
DFU-0212 Rev. 1 Page 8 of 54
The AR-6480 includes:
•A universal medical-grade switching power supply that allows the pump to
function automatically at voltage ranges found worldwide.
•An automatic universal Shaver Detect feature that allows the device to
automatically switch from low cannula suction to high flow shaver suction on
demand. There is a touch panel display for user inputs.
•A Lavage function to provide elevated pressure to stop bleeding and a Rinse
function to clear joint spaces quickly.
The user-defined settings for inflow pressure and outflow rates are adjustable
through controls located on the touch panel screen or on the remote control.
There are four Applied Part pump tubing options for the AR-6480:
1. One-piece tubing only.
This tubing, when used alone, must be replaced after each patient.
2. One-piece tubing and extension tubing combination.
The AR-6410 can be reused for an entire surgical day, while the AR-
6220 must be replaced after each patient.
3. Two-piece tubing combination.
The pump tubing can be reused for an entire surgical day. The patient
tubing must be replaced after each surgical procedure.
4. Outflow tubing.
When the Outflow Tubing Set is attached to the AR-6480, the DualWave
Arthroscopy Pump changes from an inflow-only pump to an
inflow/outflow fluid management system.
The optional Y-Adapter Tubing is intended to be used with all inflow Arthrex
tubing sets/system combinations to connect up to four irrigation bags.
The AR-6480 can be used as an inflow-only irrigation pump or, with the outflow
tubing attached; it can be used as an inflow/outflow fluid management system.
