Indications

The Kendall SCD™ 700 sequential compression system (hereby referenced as "Kendall SCD™ 700 series") is designed to
apply intermittent pneumatic compression to increase venous blood flow in at-risk patients in order to help prevent
deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The system consists of the controller, the tubing sets (provided
with the controller) and single-patient use garments (purchased separately from this controller). The garments, both
leg sleeves and foot cuffs, compress the limbs to enhance venous blood movement. After the compression cycle,
the controller measures the time it takes for the limbs to refill with blood and adjusts the compression frequency to
maximize flow rate.
