Greetings JSS!
Congratulations on the new discs! I wish I was there. I found your post interesting for the following:
When the sheath is installed, whatever fraction of the atmosphere that is present is what is inside the M6 when it is implanted in the host (me). Over time, the hosts extracellular fluid (ECF) displaces the air within the M6 sheath as the M6 fills with ECF.
The Spinal Kinetics web site provides that the adr is filled with a saline solution. Therefore, whatever "atmosphere" is in there should be extremely small, and is replaced by ecf through the pumping effect during device motion. While I wouldn't want to be the guinea pig for testing the device under water, articulation of your neck should circulate the fluids.
