Section I - General Operating Instructions

Set up

• Place the controller on the footboard. This is done by grasping the device handle
and the top portion of the pivoting bed hook and squeezing to open the gap.
Place it on the foot board so it straddles the foot board and release the bed
clamp. See the figure at right. Ensure its security. Alternatively, the device can
be placed on a horizontal surface appropriate for the environment, such as on a
table, within reasonable proximity to the point of use. Be sure to allow adequate
air flow to the vents located at the power cord cover and below the tube set
connection points.
• The controller can operate with one or two garments attached to the patient.
• Plug the tubing set(s) into the back of the controller. Route the tubing toward
the patient's limbs, being careful to leave access ways clear and eliminate trip-
ping hazards.
• Plug the tubes into garment(s) wrapped onto the patient's limbs.
• Match the left and right ports, marked B and A respectively, with the left and right limbs of the patient. Although
the operation of the controller is not affected, troubleshooting can be easier. Check tubing set(s) for kinking and
secure attachment at the controller and the garment(s).
• Plug the controller power cord into a properly grounded hospital grade receptacle. The blue AC Power Indicator
will illuminate. If no AC Power is accessible, the controller can be run using its own internal battery power.
• If compliance monitoring is desired, refer to Section II.

Start-up

• Press the Power On/Standby button to begin normal operation. If using leg sleeves, no further user intervention is
required unless there is a fault condition detected or if therapy must be discontinued.
• The controller will beep, flash all the LED's and illuminate the display screen. Quick internal device checks are
performed, which may be audible to the user.
• The pump will begin to operate as part of the Garment Selection and Verification procedure.
• Detection of inoperative LED' s , display screen and the audible error indication function at start-up is the
user' s responsibility.

Garment Selection and Verification

After startup, the Garment Configuration procedure allows the user to select when foot compression is required at
either of the two controller ports:
• On the display, the Port A Leg and Port B Leg images blink to indicate the default garment configuration (leg
compression).
• Pressing either the A or B Button will cause the corresponding port's leg image to shift to a foot image to signify
foot compression. The buttons must be pressed for each port that is connected to a foot cuff to turn on the cor-
responding foot image(s).
Note: Leg sleeve compression is the default configuration when the controller is first powered on. Therefore, the A
and B Button(s) do not have to be pressed to begin compression therapy when leg sleeves are being used.
The A and B buttons need to be pressed only when foot compression is to be used.
NOTE: If a garment is attached anytime after the Garment Detection procedure has started, the system must be
restarted to ensure that the proper therapy will be applied to the limb(s).
Also after startup, the controller immediately begins conducting the Garment Selection and Verification procedure at
each port to determine if the garments have been properly attached to the controller:
