If the pump is switched on and one or more
garments are connected to the pump, but therapy
is not started within 15 minutes, an alarm will
occur. If no action is taken to start therapy or
silence the alarm, then 15 minutes after the alarm
starts, the pump will go into an "Off" state (refer
to "Troubleshooting" on page 22).
It is recommended that the following checks are
carried out at the start of, and throughout, the
therapy:
• Check the LCD screen icons to confirm that the
correct type of garment(s) have been connected.
• During garment inflation, check the LCD screen to
confirm that there are no fault indicators displayed
and that the correct pressure is being supplied.
The default target inflation pressures for the
different garments are:
• Foot garment: 130 mmHg.
• Uniform calf and calf & thigh garments:
40 mmHg.
• Sequential calf and calf & thigh garments:
45 mmHg.
• Check that there are no kinks in the tubeset.
• Check that the tubeset and connectors do not
cause the patient any discomfort.
• Regularly check that the garments remain
correctly fitted to the patient.
The pump will inflate and deflate each garment in
turn, as follows, starting with the garment connected
to tubeset connector 1. The garment pressure is
displayed in the top left side of the screen. The
Patient Run Hours are displayed in the bottom right
of the screen.
