Product Description The VENAPRESS® IPCS is an Intermittent Pneumatic Compression System that counteracts blood stasis and coagulation changes – two of the three major factors that promote deep vein thrombosis (DVT) - a potentially life threatening condition which can lead to pulmonary embolism. The VENAPRESS® IPCS is a non-invasive mechanical prophylactic system that massages the legs in a wavelike, milking motion that promotes blood flow and deters thrombosis, helping to empty pooled or static blood from the valve cusps of the femoral vein. Fibrinolytic activity is increased, stimulating the release of a plasminogen activator. This therapy typically complements other prophylactic measures, such as antiembolic stockings and anticoagulants.
Intended Use The system consists of a pump and a soft pliable compression single patient use garment(s) for the foot. The pump supplies compression on a pre-set inflation pressure of 30mmHg and 130mmHg. The inflation hold (seconds) is 3 and the cycle time is 30 seconds. The pressure in the garments is transferred to the extremity, augmenting venous blood flow when the foot is circumferentially compressed, reducing stasis. This process also stimulates fibrinolysis; thus, reducing the risk of early clots formation. Please note: It is NOT RECOMMENDED to patients with following symptoms to use this product without consulting your clinical physician
Caution Contraindications for use: The use of the VENAPRESS® IPCS is NOT RECOMMENDED in the following conditions – 1. Severe congestive cardiac failure. 2. Severe arteriosclerosis or other ischaemic vascular disease. 3. Extreme deformity of the limbs. 4. Known or suspected deep vein thrombosis. 5. Known or suspected Pulmonary Embolism 6. Any local condition in which the garments would interfere: i.e. i. Gangrene ii. Dermatitis iii. Untreated or infected wounds iv. Recent skin grafts

Operating Instructions The VENAPRESS® IPCS System is easy to set up. The following steps should be followed: Please read this instruction manual in its entirety before setting up. 1. Once the pump and garments have been removed from their packaging, plug the pump into an electrical outlet. DO NOT SWITCH ON. 2. Position the pump on any flat surface or suspend the pump at the foot of the bed using the swing-out hooks. 3. The garments may be used on either leg or either foot (depending on the garment) 4. Unfold the garments and lay the unfolded garments on a flat surface with the foam lining facing up. 5. Position the garment at the appropriate ankle or knee landmark. 6. Place the patient’s leg on the garment lining, position the back of the knee over the popliteal opening in the case of thigh high garments. 7. Starting at the side opposite the air hose, wrap the garment snugly around the patient’s leg. 8. Fasten the garment securely with the Velcro fasteners starting at the ankle and then moving to the calf and/or thigh. 9. Check the fit and patient’s comfort by inserting two fingers between the garment and the patient’s leg at the knee opening. 10. Using the same procedure, apply the second garment if needed. If only one garment is to be used, simply leave the unused air outlet on the pump free (no air hose attached). 11. Air hoses are required to connect the garment(s) to the pump and are provided separately. Attach the garments to the air tubing using the white snap lock connectors. Each tube has a male end connector at one end and a female end connector at the other. The female end (large white connector) will fit to the male end (small white connector) that is on the garment. Make certain that a “click” sound is heard to ensure a solid connection. 12. Attach the other end(s) of the air tubing (male end) to the large white female connector(s) on the pump. Make certain that a click is heard with each snap lock connection. If you need to disconnect the tubing, press the silver coloured tab on large white (female) connector and pull apart. 13. Press the on/off switch to turn pump on. 14. Pump will start initialization process approximately for 10 seconds. 15. The pump will automatically detect for Single/Dual garment/s during start-up process with set pressures for Calf/Thigh and Foot. 16. To activate Foot Therapy, press FOOT button on control panel for 5 seconds during start-up initialization process. “Ft” will be indicated in upper display window when Foot Therapy is engaged.

17. TIMER – To activate the TIMER, switch on the pump and timing will commence. The TIMER reflects each HOUR of compression, when compression is interrupted i.e. the patient is removed from therapy, the timer will suspend timing until the patient is reconnected to therapy and therapy is continued. 18. RESETTING TIMER – to reset the timer press “RESET” for 5 seconds and it will reset itself. 19. Disconnect Device:Disconnect by plug. 20. Install the battery from the box in the back side of the device to prevent any circumstance of power failure. 21. Respond to alarms instruction appropriately and follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. 22. To remove the garments, switch off the pump and depress the latches on each side of the connectors and pull the connectors apart. Suggestions Ensure that there are no kinks in the hoses and the connectors are properly locked. Never apply or remove the garments while inflated as this may cause damage to the garment. The parts and/or accessories supplied are specifically designed for use with VENAPRESS IPCS control unit. Use other products in conjunction with the system is not recommended. Operating Functions 1. Low Pressure Alarm i. This device has both a visual and audible low pressure alarm built in. The device constantly monitors the internal pressures of the garments to avoid a pressure malfunction occurring in any case. ii. If a low pressure is detected, the pump will send a visual and audio alarm warning after two cycles. 2. Battery Backup System i. This device has a Lithium battery backup system. The device constantly monitors the outer AC electric power supply. In case of power failure situation, the pump will switch to battery operation automatically. ii. The “Battery Indicator” indicates the battery capacity status as illustrated.
iii. iv.
Under normal condition of use, the battery will last approximately 5 hours of operation time when it is fully charged. It may take up to 16 hours to fully charge to an empty battery. The pump will show a red flashing light from “Battery Indicator” and trigger the audio alarm to give a low battery warning before the pump is shutting down by itself within 15 minutes. 7
