PACKAGING, SHIPPING & STORAGE
The Models 2004 and 3004 are shipped in a specially designed (275 test) corrugated re-usable carton with
foam cushioned end-caps which envelope each end of the pump, thereby suspending the pump on all four
sides within the carton. This packaging design prevents damage to the pump (which would ordinarily be
sustained) when the carton is thrown or handled roughly by the carriers.
NOTE: The carton and end-caps should be saved for re-use each
time the pump is either transported or shipped. When
transporting, for added convenience, the carton is equipped with a fold-up “handle assembly”
The device should be stored in a secure area, ideally 60 to 80 degrees (F), however, short term storage or
shipping with exposure to temperatures of –20°F to +110°F will not harm the unit. To maximize the
unit’s life, however, time should be allowed for temperature adjustment prior to use, when moving to
areas of contrasting temperature. It is also advisable to avoid “extreme” heat ( +110°F) or cold (-20°F)
when long term storage is contemplated.

1) AMBER LIGHTED “ON / OFF” PUMP SWITCH
2) PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT KNOB, LOCKING
To prevent against involuntary changes in the pressure setting due to inadvertent movement of the
Pressure Adjustment Knob, a new “locking” Pressure Adjustment Knob has been implemented on
all model pumps to provide for safer, more effective therapy. After the pressure has been set,
simply by turning the smaller “inner locking knob” clockwise to tighten, the pressure adjustment
knob will now remain secure in place. Turning the “inner knob” counter -clockwise will enable the
“pressure adjustment knob” to again turn free without resistance.
CAUTION: CARE MUST BE TAKEN NOT TO “OVER-TIGHTEN” THE INNER LOCKING
KNOB AS ONLY MINIMAL FORCE IS REQUIRED TO LOCK PRESSURE SETTING IN
PLACE.
NOTE: CHANGING THE INNER KNOB TO A 1/2” x 8/32” ALLEN HEAD SET SCREW
WILL UPGRADE THIS FEATURE TO TO TAMPER

FUSE REPLACEMENT
Occasionally power surges, etc. or normal age can result in a blown outer safety fuse located in the rear of
pump, adjacent to the power cord.
The safety fuse may be replaced by the user or caregiver, provided it is replaced with an identical type (Buss
MDL3 250V).
Prior to removal of fuse, disconnect power cord from socket. While pushing inward on fuse cap, turn
counter clockwise to release cap and remove fuse. After placing new fuse in cap slot, push cap and fuse in-
ward and turn clockwise to lock in place.
NOTE: The outer safety fuse is the only item serviceable by some one other than a Bio Compression Sys-
tems technician at the factory. Bio Compression Systems technicians have been trained specifically for the
manufacturing and repair of all Bio Compression Systems products.
NOTE: Having little or no “electromagnetic” or “radio frequency” signal sensitivity type components, these
devices neither generate nor are they affected by any of this type of interference. Further, their accuracy
remains consistent in the presence of such devices emitting this type of interference.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Having familiarized yourself with the controls and features of this equipment, you are now ready to begin
your treatment according to your physician’s prescribed course of therapy.
1. Make sure that your circulator is plugged into a safe, properly secured, 110 V, AC outlet.
2. Place unit on a sturdy table or other type surface close to where you will be sitting. The unit has non-
slip-rubberized feet on the bottom, however placing paper or other items underneath may defeat that
purpose, causing unit to slide off of surface.
3. Press PUMP SWITCH (#1) up to “ON” position and let pump run for approximately five minutes. Af-
ter 5 minutes, place finger over Air Supply Port Number One which is located to the far right. At first,
only partially cover port until you feel it start to release air. Then, quickly occlude the port and adjust
the PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT KNOB (#2) until the PRESSURE GAUGE (#3) reaches the desired
setting.
NOTE: You may have to repeat this procedure several times, since you can only set the pressure on port number
one which is the highest pressure of the four chambers.
After you have set the desired pressure, shut the pump off until your garment is securely connected
and you are ready for your treatment.
NOTE:You should also take note that upon shutting the pump off, the Pump Switch may stay lighted
until the timer completes its cycle! Upon completion of the cycle, the Pump Switch Light
will automatically shut off. Unplugging pump at this point will cut total power to device.
SETTING THE PRESSURE
1. ARMS
a. Primary & Secondary Lymphedema = 20 to 40 mmHg
2. LEGS
a. Primary Lymphedema = 50 to 60mmHg
b. Secondary Lymphedema= 40 to 50mmHg
3. VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY
a. 50mmHg
4. Take TUBING PLUG (#8) at end of tubing on sleeve and pull back left and right LOCKING PINS (#9)
towards tubing Holding tubing plug in one hand, line up black and white locking pins with the black
and white circled outlines on the “uncapped” AIR SUPPLY PORTS (#4) on the pump. Gently push
plug onto ports. Using your thumbs, push in firmly on both the left and right LOCKING PINS (#9) The
Locking Pins will make a “click” sound when locked in place.
NOTE: Before pushing plug onto ports, make sure that both locking pins are pulled back, or an improper
connection to the pump could possibly occur!
5. If you are USING TWO GARMENTS, remove cap from AUXILIARY AIR SUPPLY PORTS (#6) and
follow steps outlined in #4.
NOTE: If NOT using two garments, the CAP (#6) MUST REMAIN COVERING AUXILIARY AIR
SUPPLY PORTS (#6).
6. Unzip sleeve gently down to bottom stop (zipper will not separate). Place garment onto arm or leg and
re-zip up to top of garment.
7. Press PUMP SWITCH (#1) up to “ON” position. Allow two to three complete inflation / resting cycles
before the garment reaches its pre-set therapeutic chamber pressures.
8. As each chamber of the garment inflates, the PRESSURE GAUGE (#3) will dip down momentarily then
return to the actual chamber pressure. This will continue each time a chamber becomes pressurized.

TUBING:
The garment tubing is manufactured by the Freelin-Wade Co. and is produced in pleural form consist-
ing of two groups of 4 Tubes bonded together and color coded with 3 tubes in blue and 1 tube in black.
This color coding prevents attachment of both tubing bundles to the pump is reverse order.
The tubing is 80A durometer PVC with each tube measuring .281 x .187 with a Tolerance of +/-.005.”
The tubing has been tested to withstand pressures of up to 15 PSI which well exceeds the highest operat-
ing pressure or capability of the pumps maximum output pressure.
END OF TREATMENT
When your treatment time is completed, press the PUMP SWITCH (#1) down to the “OFF” position.
As noted earlier, although the pump shuts off, the switch may remain lighted until the timer completes
its cycle, at which time it will automatically shut off. Unplugging the power cord at this point will cut
total power to device.
Once the light has shut off, it is also safe should you desire, to remove the garment.
1. Pull the left and right LOCKING PINS (#8) outward away from pump.
2. Grasp four tubes in hand just above TUBING PLUG (#8) and pull outward away from pump to
remove.
3. First gently bend your arm or leg (depending where garment is located) to partially release some
air from chambers.
4. Continue to assist the evacuation of air from garment, working downward from top to bottom.
5. Once the garment feels loose enough, you can unzip the garment all the way down to bottom-stop
and remove.
MODEL # 3004 ONLY
ADJUSTING GRADIENT PRESSURES
1. Model #3004 Sequential Circulators provide total Calibrated Gradient Pressure.
2. All gradients have been carefully calibrated at the factory resulting in the highest pressure in
chamber #1 graduated down to the lowest in chamber #4.
3. The main PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT KNOB (#2) sets the pressure for section one (lowest sec-
tion) of the sleeve. As it is adjusted, it will also raise or lower in proportion, the remaining sections.
4. In the unlikely event you would wish to change the gradient settings calibrated at the factory, it is
possible to do so by using the “over-ride” adjustments (#7) on the underside of the pump.
5. We described earlier how the Pressure Gauge responds to filling pressures with a brief “dip” before
raising back up to the actual pre-set pressure.
9

OVERRIDING PRE-SET GRADIENT PRESSURES
1. A small screw driver is the only tool needed to adjust the gradient pressures.
2. If you turn the pump on its side, you will notice underneath, three screw ports labeled #4, #3, and
#2, each having a directional arrow indicating the way in which the pressure is increased.
3. It only takes a very small turn of the screw to adjust since you are adjusting (mmHg) as reflected
on the gauge.
4. With the pump on its side and running, place your finger over the number air supply port you wish
to adjust.
5. When you feel the air coming out of the specific port, using your finger, occlude the port and while
observing the Pressure Gauge, gently and gradually adjust the screw valve to the desired setting.

tion once per month or as needed. Do not allow liquids to enter the equipment, an electrical haz-
ard may be presented. Always allow the unit to dry before re-using.
Garment Cleaning/Disinfecting Instructions:
1) Disconnect tubing from device.
2) Open garment to expose all sides either by separating Velcro type hook and loop or by un-
zipping (depending on type of garment).
3) Use either a large sink or plastic tub able to hold enough solution (depending on size and
quantity of garments) to completely submerge garment/s under water including tubing,
with the exception of connectors at end of tubing. Solution should consist of 1/3 cup of tide
or equivalent detergent per 1 gallon of warm tap water.
4) NOTE: IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT CONNECTORS AT END OF TUB-
ING BE KEPT OUT OF WATER AT ALL TIMES TO AVOID WATER FROM ENTER-
ING INTERIOR PORITON OF GARMENT/S.
5) Garment/s should be soaked 1/2 hour with mild agitation of garment every 5 to 10 minutes
while keeping it below surface of water.
6) NOTE: Occasionally, harder to remove soiling on surface of garment may require addi-
tional washing by hand with a clean towel while submerged.
7) NOTE: In all cases, avoid using any abrasive type materials such as scrubbing pads or
chemicals that might cause damage to the exterior surface of garment.
8) Thoroughly rinse garment with warm tap water.
9) Re-submerge garment in solution consisting of 1 cup of Clorox bleach per gallon of warm
tap water for 1/2 hour, again agitating garment every 5 to 10 minutes while keeping gar-
ment/s below surface (with the exception of tubing connector/s).
10) Rinse garment/s thoroughly and allow to air dry.
11) DO NOT place garment in washing machine or submerge in water unprotected from water
entering interior portion of garment where ultimate damage to pump can occur.
12) DO NOT use the tubing or valves as “handles” for carrying, hanging or storing garment/s.
13) In cases when it is necessary for a garment to be returned to the factory for repair or
evaluation, it is essential that garment/s are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before re-
turning.
