Intended Use/Indications
The VenaFlow Elite System is intended as a prophylaxis for deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Contraindications
The VenaFlow Elite System should not be used by persons with known or suspected deep vein thrombosis, severe congestive heart failure, pulmonary edema, thrombophlebitis, severe arteriosclerosis, or active infection. Do
not use on extremities which are not sensitive to pain, where cuff will interfere with gangrene, on patients with vein ligation or recent skin grafts, or extreme deformity of the leg. Do not use the VenaFlow Elite System where
increased venous or lymphatic return is undesirable.
Warning and Precautions
• The VenaFlow Elite cuffs are designed for single patient use only.
• Risk of explosion if used in the presence of flammable anaesthetics.
• The equipment or system should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment and, if adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the equipment or system should be observed to verify normal operation in the
configuration in which it will be used.
• Medical Electrical Equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC. Portable and Mobile RF Communications Equipment can be affected by other Medical Electrical Devices.
• Cuffs used in combination with warming devices may cause skin irritation. Regularly check for patient comfort, compliance and skin irritation.
• Special attention should be given to those patients with neuropathies or tissue viability problems (i.e. diabetes, arterial or venous insufficiencies).
• To prevent extremity compartment syndrome, special attention should be given to patients who are positioned in the supine lithotomy position for extended lengths of time. This includes patients with or without
compression cuffs.
• If you experience pain, swelling, sensation changes or any unusual reactions while using this device, consult your medical professional immediately.
