The Huntleigh Flowtron Excel AC550 is a non-invasive prophylaxis system designed to reduce the incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) through intermittent pneumatic compression. The system consists of a pump and single-patient-use garments that apply cycles of compressed air to augment venous blood flow velocity and enhance fibrinolytic activity.
| Cycle Time | 60 seconds |
|---|---|
| Inflation Time | 12 seconds |
| Deflation Time | 48 seconds |
The garments should be removed immediately if the patient experiences tingling, numbness, or pain.
The pump operates on a 60-second automatically timed cycle consisting of approximately 12 seconds of inflation followed by approximately 48 seconds of deflation.
