DURATION Of THERAPY
Therapy life Indicators
The therapy life indicators provide a visual indication of the seven day therapy life cycle and the therapy
life remaining (Fig. 19). When therapy begins all seven green LEDs are illuminated. During therapy,
after each 24-hour period an indicator will turn off. When eight hours of therapy time remains, the last
indicator will illuminate with both a green and yellow LED simultaneously (
NOTE: in Fig. 19 below, black
represents green indicators and grey represents yellow indicators). When therapy time is about to expire,
the last indicator will illuminate with a yellow LED and an audible alarm will sound for approximately two
minutes, then the therapy unit will shut off.
At the end of therapy, the therapy unit must be replaced with a new therapy unit or alternative therapy
must be used. Patients should be instructed to contact the treating physician or caregiver if therapy unit
turns off and cannot be restarted before therapy is scheduled to end.
