When the prescribed therapy duration is complete:
• If the display is in the Main Therapy screen, select “ STOP THERAPY ” from the Main Therapy
screen. The compression therapy will stop and the display will return to the Start screen.
• To disable DVT Compression therapy and prevent it from running on the next start up, go
to the “ DVT ” menu. From the Main screen, select “ DVT ”, then select “ OFF ”. Select “ SAVE ”
to save the changes made. The unit will return to the Main menu and DVT Compression
will be disabled until re-enabled by the user.
• If no additional therapies are to be used, it is recommended to turn the unit OFF. Once the
unit is OFF, you may now remove your therapy wraps.
Compression should be turned OFF when the therapy wrap is not on the patient.
Allowing the wrap to inflate while unattended or to inflate all the way to a “ballooned”
state can cause damage to the wrap and will reduce the life of the wrap.
