The intended use of this product is to manage the list of clinical conditions
detailed in the “Indications” section.

3.3 About the LymphAssist system
The system comprises a pump and multi-chamber arm or leg garments.
Optional multi-chamber garment inserts can be used to increase the
circumference of the arm and leg garments.
The pump supplies air to inflate the chambers in the garments via connecting
tubes, allowing the application of controlled pressure to gently compress and/or
massage the limb.
The LymphAssist is used where there is a requirement to move lymph away
from malfunctioning lymphatics. The gentle, rhythmic massage of the limb
throughout the LymphAssist cycle moves the skin in the direction of the lymph
flow and stimulates the lymphatic vessels, which carry proteins and waste
products.
A full technical description of the Hydroven 12 system can be found in the
Service Manual, part number SER0010, available from your local Huntleigh
sales representative.
