Cardinal Health Kendall SCD 700, Manual, Page: 3 / 114

CUSTOMIZED
THERAPY
FOR EACH
PATIENT
Vascular refill detection (VRD) is unique to
the Kendall SCD
™
700 system. This exclusive
technology customizes the compression cycle
for each patient. VRD technology has been
clinically proven to move up to 76 percent
more blood over time when compared with IPC
devices without VRD.

HOW IT WORKS
1. An 11-second default compression
cycle is applied to the patient’s leg.
2. The sleeve deflates, holding 6 mmHg
of pressure in the middle chamber of
the calf.
3. Pressure is held and monitored for
up to 60 seconds to allow evaluation
of calf girth changes.
4. When calf girth stops increasing
for 10 seconds, this signals that
leg veins have refilled completely.
5. Vascular refill time is calculated and
set; the sleeve deflates.
6. Vascular refill time is reevaluated
every 30 minutes to account for
patient variables.
