Device Description &
Operating Principles
Overview
The AIROS 6 Sequential Compression device is a gradient pneumatic compression
device. The device is used for treatment and management of venous or lymphatic
disorders. The application of gradient sequential compression increases blood
ow and encourages extracellular uid clearance.
The AIROS 6 system consists of the device and 6-chambered garments. The device
provides cycles of compressed air and sequentially inates the garments from
distal to proximal.

6-Chamber Garment
The segments within the garments are constructed to prevent ‘ridging.’ (Ridging
occurs if there is a gap between two compressed areas of tissue. Tissue is forced
towards the gap causing a creased area with restricted blood ow.)
The design of the garments ensures high patient comfort.

Device Operation Specications
Overview
Primary Operating Mode
The primary operating mode in which the AIROS 6 can be used is Gradient Mode.
The user can set the starting pressure in Chamber 1 on the garment, the most
distal chamber. Pressure decreases at a xed gradient of 5% moving distally to
proximally.
NOTE: User may operate the AIROS 6 using the Factory Default settings.
The Factory Default setting is Gradient Mode Operation with 45 mmHg of
pressure in the distal chamber and a 5% gradient pressure reduction moving
towards the proximal chamber; a 60-minute therapy time; a 60-second cycle
time; and Lymphedema Preparation Treatment/LPT Mode set to OFF.
Secondary Operating Modes
The AIROS 6 can also be used in two secondary Operating Modes: Focal Mode or
Clearing Mode.
• Focal Mode: User can choose to utilize this mode to tenderize the tissue in
a limb or limbs affected by Lymphedema Fibrosis. Treatment can be applied
using three specic chambers in the garment (1-3, 2-4, 3-5 or 4-6, selected by
the user). Focal Mode can be used prior to Gradient Mode therapy.
• Clearing Mode: User can utilize this mode to mimic manual lymphatic
drainage. Clearing Mode can be used prior to Gradient Mode therapy.
PRIMARY OPERATING MODE SETTINGS GRADIENT MODE
Pressure Range (set in distal chamber) 30-80mmHg (increments of 1mmHg)
Cycle Time 40 or 60 seconds
Deation 12 seconds
Therapy Time 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes

1. Unpacking the Equipment
1.1. Open the shipping box and remove the device.
1.2. Remove the protective foams and bag.
1.3. Remove the garments from the bag.
1.4. Unroll the tubes and unroll the garment by spreading it out at.
2. Preparing for Operation
2.1. Place the device on a at, sturdy surface in close proximity to where the
user will utilize therapy.
2.2. Secure the proper end of the POWER CORD to the POWER PLUG on the
Back Panel of the device. Secure the other end of the POWER CORD to a
safe outlet. Outlet should be 120 VAC, 60 Hz.
2.3. Attach GARMENT CONNECTORS of the garment to the GARMENT
CONNECTOR PORTS on the Front Panel of the device.
NOTE: For unilateral therapy (applying treatment to only one arm or one leg),
place the AIR BLOCKER in the other GARMENT CONNECTOR PORT that is unused.
2.4. Directions for Applying Leg Garment(s)
Unzip the garment all the way. Place foot at the bottom end of the
garment and pull up the zipper while supporting the garment. Ensure
that the garment wraps completely around the leg.
2.5. Directions for Applying Arm Garment(s)
Slide the arm through the internal part of the garment.
CAUTION: The detachable power supply cord may pose a risk of strangulation.
3. Treatment Therapy
NOTE: Device settings can only be modied or restored before or in between
treatment sessions.
NOTE: Prior to the start of therapy, the garment(s) will briey "prell" with air to
aid in removing any wrinkles or creases and to allow for any minor adjustments in
garment positioning. The LCD screen will read "PREFILL".

A6IFU.0001 REV C
If the device does not operate when plugged in and the MAIN POWER SWITCH
is in the “ON” position, check the fuse on the rear panel of the device. Unplug the
device and remove the fuse from its housing, or contact your local authorized
dealer for further information.
Important: When replacing a blown fuse, to protect against re hazard replace the
fuse with one of the identical type and rating (2.5 AMP T250VACH SLO-BLO). If the
fuse blows again, return the pump to your dealer for servicing.
CAUTION: There are no parts inside the device that are user-
serviceable. There is an electrical shock hazard if the pump assembly
is disassembled. Refer all service to qualied personnel.
CAUTION: Keep away from environment of CT or MRI.
CAUTION: Keep away from explosive or ammable anesthetic gas.
Troubleshooting
Error Messages/Alarms
High Pressure: This can occur if there is a kink or other obstruction in the tubing
connecting the garments, or if the connector port is blocked. The LCD screen will
read E01, the red LED light will illuminate, and an alarm will sound.
Low Pressure: This can occur if the garment is not properly secured to the
connector port or there is a hole in the garment causing a leak. The LCD screen will
read E02, the red LED light will illuminate, and an alarm will sound.
Software System Error: This can occur if an internal software system error occurs
causing the device to be inoperable. The LCD screen will read E03, the red LED
light will illuminate, and an alarm will sound.
NOTE: If you receive any of these error messages, press theSTART|STOP
BUTTON, which will begin deation of the garments. Then, contact your local
authorized dealer or AIROS Medical.

16
Attaching and Detaching Garment
Connector
The Garment Connector on the garment connects easily to the Garment Connector
Port on the Front Panel of the device.
While holding the Garment Connector in front of the device, the hose that is
colored black should be on the left hand side. Plug the prongs on the Garment
Connector into the holes on the Garment Connector Port on the device.
The Garment Connector can also be easily detached from the device. Simply pull
out the Garment Connector with a light force and the garment will detach from the
device.
Home users are not recommended to plug the garments into the device. It is
recommended to have a medical professional plug the garments into the device.
Fuse Replacement
The safety fuse on the back panel of the device can sometimes blow for different
reasons such as a power surge or the normal aging of the electronic components.
The safety fuse is located in between the POWER PLUG and the MAIN POWER
SWITCH.
When occasional fuse damage does happen, a medical professional can replace
the fuse as long as a part that has the following parameters is ordered (2.5 AMP
T250VACH SLO-BLO).
Prior to removal of fuse, disconnect the power cord. While pushing inward on
fuse cap, turn counterclockwise to release cap and remove fuse. After placing the
new fuse in the cap slot, push cap and fuse inward and turn clockwise to secure.
NOTE: The outer safety fuse is the only item serviceable by someone
other than an AIROS Medical trained technician. AIROS Medical
trained technicians have been trained specically for the manufacture
and repair of all AIROS Medical devices.

Garment Care & Cleaning Instructions
1. Disconnect the garment(s) from the device. Unzip the garment and spread it
out on an even, at surface.
2. Hand wash the inside and outside surfaces of the garment with warm, soapy
water.
3. DO NOT submerse tubing or tubing parts in water.
4. Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe the garment. Leave the garment open to air dry
until it is dry on all services.
5. DO NOT place in a drying machine, dry clean, or blow-dry.
6. When dry, if desired apply antiseptic lotion or cream.
NOTE: Garments are single patient use only and are NOT to be used by
multiple persons.
NOTE: DO NOT use abrasive materials such as a scrubbing pad, cleaning
chemicals, or detergents containing bleach, as they may cause damage to the
garment.
NOTE: If directed methods for cleaning the garments do not remove all
soiling, discard the garments and contact AIROS Medical or an authorized
AIROS Medical dealer to obtain new garments.
