Press the button below “Start” to start the therapy. The
LEDs on the front case change to static green.
It is recommended that the following checks are carried
out at the start of, and throughout, the therapy:
• Check the LCD screen icons to confirm that the
correct type of garment(s) have been connected.
• During garment inflation, check the LCD screen to
confirm that the correct pressure is being applied and
that there are no fault messages displayed. The
inflation pressures for the different garments are:
• Foot Garment: 130 mmHg.
• Calf and Calf & Thigh Garments: 40 mmHg.
Initial inflation cycles (up to 10) may not show the
correct inflation pressure. This is to be expected.
• Check that there are no kinks in the pump tubesets.
• Check that the pump tubesets and connectors do not
cause the patient any discomfort.
• Regularly check that the garments remain correctly
fitted to the patient.
The pump will inflate and deflate each garment in turn,
as follows, starting with garment 1:
The following example shows two foot garments
fitted to the pump.
1. Both garments are initially deflated. The garment
pressure is displayed on the left side of the screen.
If the Patient Hours Meter is selected in the
“Options” menu (refer to “Changing Options” on
page 16), the total elapsed time (in hours) is shown
in the bottom right of the screen:
