Compression System 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,

An automatic valve and pump test will be quickly performed as the system tests microprocessor function and system memory.

Garment Configuration & Detection
After startup, the Garment Configuration procedure allows the user to select when foot compression is required at either of the two Controller ports:

The configuration buttons need to be pressed only when foot compression is to be used.
Also after startup, the Controller immediately begins conducting the Garment Detection procedure at each port to determine if the garments have been

The Controller features microprocessor-controlled automatic pressure adj
The pressure setting depends on the type of garment: 45 mmHg for Leg Sleeves; 130 mmHg for Foot Cuffs.
Vascular Refill Detection
The SCD EXPRESS Compression System incorporates Tyco Healthcare’s patented “Vascular Refill Detection” method to customize the therapy for each

• The vascular refill detection method is used when first powering on the System after it reaches set pressure and every thirt y minutes thereafter.
• The hourglass-shaped Vascular Refill Indicator on the front display will be illuminated during a measurement cycle.
• The method works best when the patient is still, however it will accommodate movement.
• If an error is detected during any measurement or if the compression is not within the System pressure specifications, the refill time measurement
• The time between compressions on the same limb will never be shorter than twenty seconds or longer than sixty seconds.
• If both Controller ports are being used, then the longer of the two measurements will

To prevent a potential shock hazard, the battery compartment should not be left vacant while operating the SCD EXPRESS Compres-
sion System. The battery pack, or a dummy pack (if so equipped), must be installed in the controller to prevent the user from having access
to the battery’s electrical connection.
Compression System is optional. To order
