System Preparation

1. Prior to each use, inspect the ArthroCare Atlas System for possible damage to the Controller Casing and cables.
2. Insert the receptacle end of the Power Cord into the Power Cord Receptacle located at the rear of the Controller.
Insert the plug end of the Power Cord into an appropriately grounded electrical outlet. Position the Controller so
that the exhaust fan located in the rear of the Controller is unobstructed and directed away from the patient.
3. Press the On/Off Switch on the front panel of the Controller to the 'On' (I) position. The Voltage Output Level
Display should indicate a setting of '0'. All other indicator lights should be off.
4. Connect the Foot Control or the Hand Control to the gray Foot Control / Hand Control Receptacle on the front of
the Controller. The Foot Control / Hand Control Connected Indicator (green) on the Controller front panel will
illuminate.
5. a. If using the reusable Patient Cable, ensure that the Patient Cable has been cleaned and sterilized and that
the connectors are dry before use. Slide the sliding door to the right and connect the Patient Cable to the
tan Receptacle on the front of the Controller. Connect the appropriate Wand to the other end of the Patient
Cable.
NOTE: If sliding door has been removed, contact Customer Service.

Receptacle.

dures.
