1. Introduction
2. General contraindications and Cautions
1.1 Operation of the controller
Thank you for choosing the DVT-2600. This product is a specialized Intermittent
Pneumatic Compression (IPC) system designed to prevent DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis)
and PE (Pulmonary Embolism) by improving venous blood flow in high risk patients.
This system consists of the controller, tubing sets and cuffs. The DVT-2600 offers
sequential inflation which promotes venous blood movement and metabolism. After
deflation, there is a time interval before reinflation to allow the veins to refill. The
operation of the inflation and deflation is repeated until the stop button is activated.
The DVT-2600 has an integrated self-checking system which includes checks for the
digital sensor, cuff connection, and power supply. If an error code shows during initial
operation of the DVT-2600, it can be checked against the error code key attached to the
side of the DVT-2600 unit for convenient reference.

- Pre-existing deep vein thrombosis, phlebothrombosis or pulmonary embolism
