Arthrex Continuous Wave III Arthroscopy Pump - Set Up and Operation 1  2  3  Following removal of the orange cap, the pressure sensor line is plugged into a snap-fit connection located on the lower left corner of the front panel.  The roller housing door is lifted and the tubing is loaded around the pump rollers. The green color-coded connector on the tubing set is matched with the green dot on the tubing guide to ensure proper orientation. The spikes are then inserted into the irrigation bags.  Power is applied to the console by pressing the power switch in the upper right corner of the front panel. The pressure and flow levels are adjusted, either by the circulating nurse or from the sterile field using the autoclavable remote control. The pump is activated by pressing the Run/Stop button.  Suggested Initial Pressure Settings with Flow Rate at 100% (default) The settings listed below are based on the use of a high-flow sheath or secondary inflow portal (suprapatellar, etc.). Knee Arthroscopy - 35 mmHg Shoulder Arthroscopy - 5O mmHg Small Joint Arthroscopy - 35 mmHg Hip Arthroscopy - 35 mmHg The safety and efficacy of fluid pumps are well documented but users should be cautioned about the possibility of fluid extravasation in patients with compromised joint capsules due to pathology or procedures which open the capsule (e.g., lateral release). It is strongly suggested that minimum effective pressures be used to achieve the desired joint distention. Pressure and flow levels may be adjusted at the console by the circulating nurse, or by the surgeon or surgical assistant in the sterile field using the remote control. Proper operation of this device requires the establishment of adequate fluid outflow. Carefully monitor the outflow and assess the patient regularly to avoid extravasation or any other adverse patient condition. For more information, consult the console’s User's Guide and the Directions For Use card supplied with the accessory tubing sets.
