The use of these pumps have been recommended by your physician or medical provider. The proper pump settings
and usage time will be recommended to you. Do not change these settings or other treatment guidelines unless
instructed to do so. The use of this pump and garment should be comfortable and easy for you.
The system has three parts: the pump, hoses, and an inflatable garment. The pump sends air through either three or
six hoses (depending on the model). Using the additional air hose connection, the pump may be connected to two
garments simultaneously. On the garments, the chambers fill, one at a time, starting from the end farthest from the
body. There may be a time when it feels like all the sections are full and the pressure is holding. This is normal and
helps to move blood and extra fluid toward the heart.
During the compression treatment, your limb should be elevated. You may sit, recline, or lie down during treatment.
Other instructions may be given to you by your medical provider.
