Double Pump RF

The Double Pump RF is one of the most advanced and high-tech arthroscopy pumps on the market. The reason for using a pump in an arthroscopic procedure is to:

  • Keep the joint distended through pressurization and expansion of the operating field
  • Compress damaged blood vessels to maintain hemostasis through increased pressure
  • Maintain visibility by flushing the operating field in a controlled way

SmartVision is a patented technology owned by Insightra, which automatically adjusts the pressure and flow when blood or debris is detected. The SmartVision function consists of an optical detector located behind the Patient Cassette. Through deviation of LED light the detector can differentiate between blood and debris and adjust fluid pressure and flow rate accordingly. When the sensor detects blood, both the pressure and flow is increased in steps. When the bleeding stops and the blood is flushed out of the joint, the pressure and flow gradually decreases to its original setting. If the sensor detects debris, the flow is increased, until the surgeon again has a clear field of vision.​

The Double Pump RF has the ability to communicate with a RF generator, allowing optimal pressure and flow settings during ablation in the joint. ​The Double Pump RF controls both the in- and out-flow and consequently both pressure and flow. The pump operates through usage of disposable slide-in tubing cassettes, one cassette which controls the in-flow (Day Cassette, used for one surgical day) and one that controls the out-flow (Patient Cassette, new for every patient).
