This manual provides operating instructions for the Huntleigh AC550 External Pneumatic Compression System, designed for DVT prophylaxis. The system consists of a pump and single-patient-use garments that apply intermittent pneumatic compression to augment venous blood flow velocity and enhance fibrinolytic activity.
| Cycle Time | 60 seconds |
|---|---|
| Inflation Time | 12 seconds |
| Deflation Time | 48 seconds |
Disconnect the pump from the mains supply before cleaning and inspection, and do not immerse it in water.
It is a non-invasive prophylaxis system used to reduce the incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) by augmenting venous blood flow velocity and enhancing fibrinolytic activity.
The pump operates on a 60-second automatically timed cycle consisting of approximately 12 seconds of inflation followed by approximately 48 seconds of deflation.
The garments should be removed immediately if the patient experiences these symptoms.
