(B) Fitting FlowOx™. (a) Check that the Pressure Chamber [1] fits the patient and is comfortable. Only the arch of the foot
should rest lightly on the top of the Positioner [16]. Note: The foot should not touch the bottom of the Pressure Chamber
[1]. The Positioner [16] is not a weight bearing support device. (b) The Seal [20] should be comfortable on the bare calf.
(c) Ask the patient to put their Pressure Chamber [1] on and take it off several times. Check that the patient can do this
without harming the skin or disrupting any wound dressings. Note: It is recommended that a non-shedding sock/tubular
bandage is used to cover any wound dressings and the areas of the leg which touch the Padding [17] and Positioner [16].
(d) If the test was OK, the patient can use the device alone as instructed in the section "Daily Use of FlowOx™". Note:
training should include: how to set up the device at home, put on and take off the Pressure Chamber [1], operating the
system, cleaning, and how to care for the device, adding time with the Timecard [5], and discussion of hazards, e.g.
tripping and disposal of small parts.
(A) Putting on the Pressure Chamber [1]: Once the system has been assembled (see "Preparing FlowOx™ above), (a) Roll
down the Seal [20] over the Pressure Chamber [1] neck to allow the leg to be put into the opening. (b) While sitting on
a chair, insert the foot to be treated into the Pressure Chamber [1]. (c) Make sure that the Positioner [16] is correctly
placed for the foot to be treated as advised by the clinician. (d) Roll the Seal [20] up over the leg and make sure it fits
snugly around the bare leg. Note: Physical contact should only occur between the patient's leg, the Positioner [16], the
Padding [17] and the Seal [20] and caution should be taken to avoid pressure points between the leg and the device.
(B) Treatment: (a) Place the leg into the Pressure Chamber [1] and press the On/Off Button [7] on the Control Unit [4] to
start the treatment. (b) Make sure the leg and foot are centrally placed inside the Pressure Chamber [1] and not touching
the outside walls during inflation of the Padding [17] (10-15 sec). See image [29]. (c) Treatment begins. Time counts
upwards on the Multi Screen [8]. The Treatment Ongoing symbol [27], along with a progress bar (shown first minute
only) will appear on the Multi Screen [8]. (d) Place the Pressure Chamber [1] at a comfortable distance from the chair
and if needed, change position of the Pressure Chamber [1] during treatment to increase comfort. Note: The patient
should remain seated during treatment ● After 2 hours a Smiley Face symbol [9] lights up on the Multi Screen [8] ● All
treatment use is recorded on the device ● The FlowOx™ continues working for 12 hours unless it is stopped ● If
condensation appears on the inside of the Pressure Chamber [1] when in use, insert 1-2 Absorgel Pouches [26] into the
Pressure Chamber [1] floor. Note: An Absorgel Pouch [26] should be used for a maximum of 10 days, or less depending
on humidity level and temperature. Thereafter it must be disposed of. ● The treatment can be stopped and restarted
any time by pressing the On/Off Button [7].
(C) Taking off the Pressure Chamber [1]: (a) Turn off the Control Unit [4] by pressing the On/Off Button [7]. (b) Roll down
the Seal [20] around the neck of the Pressure Chamber [1] shell. (c) Push the Release Valve Button [28] to deflate the
Padding [17]. (d) Gently remove the leg from the Pressure Chamber [1] after deflating the Padding [17]. (e) Roll up the
Seal [20] from the Pressure Chamber neck to release it from tension. Do not leave the Seal [20] stretched over the
Pressure Chamber neck.
(D) After daily treatment: If possible, leave the Pressure Chamber [1] and Control Unit [4] in place for daily treatment
procedures. If the Control Unit [4] and Pressure Chamber [1] are left in place, make sure they are close to each other, to
avoid tripping hazard, and unplugged from the electrical socket. ● If you used an Absorgel Pouch [26], seal it inside a
sealable plastic bag until next use. ● If you need to move the system, use the Control Unit Handle [30] and the Pressure
Chamber Handle [31] ● Wound dressings should be inspected after each treatment and replaced if necessary. ● If the
Hose with Filter [24] is clogged, please contact your clinician or your local distributor.
(E) Providing data to your clinician: (a) Ensure that the Control Unit [4] is turned off but plugged into an electric socket (b)
Insert the blue USB Memory Stick [32] supplied with the Pressure Chamber [1] into the USB Memory Stick Port [33] (c)
Press the On/Off Button [7]. (d) When the Control Unit [4] has detected the USB Memory Stick [32], it will start to transfer
saved treatment data onto it. The progress bar fills up from left to right and the Data Transfer symbol [34] appears on
the Display [10]. (e) When the data transfer is complete, the Data Transfer symbol [34] and the Smiley Face symbol [9]
are displayed. (f) Turn off the Control Unit [4] by pressing the On/Off Button [7] and then Remove the USB Memory Stick
[32].
(F) Adding time to system: When the available time goes down to 25 hours or less, the Control Unit [4] will display an
hourglass and the available time left on the Multi Screen [8]. Consult your clinician if you need a new Timecard [5]. When
the time is up, an hourglass, the text "0h" and a General Error symbol [35] will be displayed on the Display [10]. You may
continue to use the Control Unit [4] when you have inserted a new Timecard [5] into the Control Unit [4]. To do so,
follow the steps as described in section "Activate FlowOx™ with the Timecard."
