Device Description and Operating Principle
The model IC-1545-DL is an intermittent pneumatic compression device that consists of
a compression garment connected to a pneumatic compression pump. The pump’s
cyclical inflation and deflation of the compression garments stimulates the flow of blood.
Pneumatic compression devices are proven to reduce edema, help close up chronic
ulcers, and act as a prophylaxis for deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Guidelines for Treatment
A physician is required to prescribe these settings, but general guidelines are listed
below:
• It is ultimately the physician’s responsibility to prescribe the setting and it should be
written on the prescription upon referral. Every patient is unique and communication
with the physician is important when setting the pressure.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis should be applied continuously, around the
clock at the factory pre-set pressures, dependent upon the application site, unless
otherwise ordered by the attending physician. A less aggressive treatment schedule is
more commonly prescribed by the physician post discharge in the home setting.

Electrical Medical Equipment
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, burns, fire, injury, or improper treatment, read the
entire instruction manual before operating this device
• Use of accessories or a power cord not specified or provided by Bio Compression
Systems could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased
electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation
• Portable RF communications equipment (including cell phones and peripherals such
as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 12" (30 cm) to

any part of the device including the power cord - otherwise, degradation of the
performance of this equipment could result
• Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided
because it could result in improper operation
Do Not Use
• For any contraindicated condition
• If the pump, accessories, or power cord are damaged or have been immersed in water
• With any accessories or power cord not specified or provided by Bio Compression
Systems
• In the presence of flammable anesthetics or in an oxygen rich environment
• In an MRI environment
• Near water, in a wet environment, or where aerosols are being sprayed
• Cold therapy products for more than 20 minutes every two hours
• For any use not described in this manual
Ask A Doctor Before Use If You Have
• Insensitive, irritated, injured skin, or skin conditions in/around treatment sites
• Circulatory problems or problems in sensing heat or cold
When Using This Product
• Examine the device, accessories, and power cord for damage before using or cleaning
• Handle garments with care - do not fold or crease, use near a heat source, handle with
sharp objects, clean with abrasive materials, place in a washing machine or dryer, or
attempt to autoclave.
• Never share garments or use someone else’s garments - single-patient use only
• Avoid folding, pinching, or kinking tubing as this can obstruct air flow
• Do not wrap tubing around limb as this can restrict blood flow
• Do not operate pump on a soft surface, under a blanket or covering, or near a heat
source
• Never adjust pump settings unless directed by a physician
• Do not carry or suspend the device using tubing, valves, or the power cord as handles
• Do not submerge the device or allow liquids to enter the device
• Never attempt to open, repair, or modify the device - no modification of this equipment
is allowed
Stop Use And Ask A Doctor If
• Changes in skin appearance occur such as color changes, blisters, welts, or increased
swelling
• You feel burning, itching, increased pain, numbness, or tingling

8
In the event the pump stops working (e.g., power failure), release pressure by
disconnecting the garment.
Any serious incident that has occurred in relation to the device must be reported
to Bio Compression Systems. In the European Union (EU), incidents should also be
reported to the competent authority of the Member State in which the user and / or
patient is established.
Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Operating Instructions
The patient is the intended user and can safely use all functions.
Preparing the Device for Use
• Remove garments and cardboard underneath from box
• Lift pump out of box and remove protective end caps – save packaging for transport
and storage
• Place pump on a flat sturdy surface – pump must be close enough for the controls to
be reached during use
• Plug power cord into outlet
• Remove garments from plastic bag, unroll, and spread flat
• Place gel insert flat in freezer for 4 hours - do not place directly on metal rack as this
could damage inset
Connecting the Garments
• Connect tubing to garment valve by turning clockwise until secure
• Attach Quick-Connect connector at end of tubing to the pump by firmly pushing
inwards until it snaps in
Putting the Garments On
• Apply garments and secure using Velcro fasteners
Operating the Device
• Press “Power On/Off” button to turn on
• The device is preset for calf mode at a pressure of 50 mmHg (to change, see below)
• If garment does not properly inflate, alarm will sound – check connection and tubing
for obstructions then turn pump off and on
• Upon the completion of treatment or to stop treatment, press “Power On/Off” button to
turn off

9
To select calf mode
• Begin with device turned off
• Press and hold DOWN button and momentarily press power button
• Elapsed time will appear followed by “CAF”
• Release DOWN button
• Pressure will appear (50 mmHg) and device will start running
To select foot mode
• Begin with device turned off
• Press and hold UP button and momentarily press power button
• Elapsed time will appear followed by “FOO”
• Release UP button
• Pressure will appear (120 mmHg) and device will start running
To change pressure
• When display shows “0” during cycle, press and hold UP button until pressure appears
• Adjust using UP or DOWN button
• Press “Power On/Off” button to begin cycle
Cleaning
The pump, garment, and tubing can be wiped down using a damp (not wet) soft cloth
while unplugged –if more thorough pump cleaning or garment disinfection is desired,
use the following directions.
Pump, tubing, and calf garment cleaning
• Unplug and wipe down using a damp (not wet) soft cloth with mild antibacterial soap
as needed
• Do not use bleach
Foot and cryo garment disinfection
• Disconnect from pump and open to expose all sides
• Prepare a solution of 1/3 cup of laundry detergent per 1 gallon of warm water (20 mL
laundry detergent per 1 L water) in a sink or container large enough to hold the garment
• Place garment in solution but do not submerge or place connectors in water as this will
damage the device
• Soak for 30 minutes with mild agitation every 5-10 minutes - hard to remove soil may
require hand washing using a soft clean cloth while garment is in solution
• Rinse with warm water and allow to air dry
• Repeat previous steps using a solution of 1 cup of bleach per 1 gallon of warm water
(60 mL bleach per 1 L warm water)
