Description
Troubleshooting
- Garment Mismatch
The Garment Detection procedure has detected a garment configuration (Leg or Foot flashing green) that does not match the User-selected configuration (Leg or Foot red).
-P ress the port configuration button(s) to turn the foot selection on/off depending on what type of garment(s) is connected to the Controller. - If the proper garment is selected and the problem persists have the Controller serviced by a professional.
1
- System high
System pressure has exceeded 90mmHg (leg sleeve) or 180mmHg (Foot Cuff)
2
- High Pressure
Leg Sleeve pressure is greater than 47mmHg after 5 consecutive cycles; Foot Cuff pressure is greater than 135mmHg after 5 consecutive cycles.

- Low Pressure
L eg Sleeve pressure is less than 43mmHg after 5 consecutive cycles; Foot Cuff pressure is less than 125mmHg after 5 consecutive cycles.
Check garment application Check tubing connections heck for leaks in the garment(s) and the C tubing. If suspect, substitute a new tubing set or garments(s) Turn the Controller off and restart
This alarm will also be triggered when no garments are detected at either Controller port (A or B) during start-up.
If the problem persists have the Controller serviced by a professional
System Pressure
Leg sleeve pressure is not between 35 and 55 mmHg for 12 consecutive cycles; Foot Cuff pressure is not between 110 and 150 mmHg for 12 consecutive cycles.
- Check garment application (too loose or tight). - Turn the Controller off and restart.
Valve Error
If a valve electrically malfunctions, this error will be displayed.
-V erify that the valve assembly is properly connected - Turn the Controller off and restart - If the problem persists have the Controller serviced by a professional
Software Error
Upon start-up, the microprocessor - Turn the Controller off and restart performs diagnostic tests. If the Controller - If the problem persists have the Controller fails to pass these tests this error will be serviced by a professional displayed
Pump Error
If the pump electrically malfunctions, this error will be displayed
- Verify that the pump is properly connected - Turn the Controller off and restart - If the problem persists have the Controller serviced by a professional
Vent Error
The pressure in a garment is greater than 20 mmHg at the end of any vent period.
- Check tubing for kinks - Check garment application (too loose or tight) -C heck to make sure there are no kinks in the internal tubing - Turn the Controller off and restart - If the problem persists have the Controller serviced by a professional

Check tubing set for any kinks
Low Battery Alarm
There is less than 10 minutes of battery charge remaining. The pump and valves will continue to operate for as long as there is enough power.
- Plug the Controller into an AC power outlet - If the problem persists recalibrate or replace the battery pack
10 (Battery indicator 1)
Battery Error
If a battery calibration error or battery cell failure is detected this error will be displayed.
-T urn the Controller off, plug it into an AC power outlet and restart - If the problem persists recalibrate or replace the battery pack
11 (Error Indicators 5 & 7)
Temperature Error
If the internal case temperature of the Controller drops below 5°C (41°F) or exceeds 55°C (131°F).
-M ake sure the Controller is not covered and that the fan port is not obstructed -T urn off the Controller, allow it to cool, and restart -V erify that the cooling fan is properly connected -H ave the Controller serviced by a professional if the problem persists
