Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of your sequential circulator and garments.
Package Contents
•Sequential Circulator pump
•Power cord
•Instructions for use
•Blocker bar
•Garment(s) possibly - packed separately
Intended Use
Sequential Circulators are pneumatic compression devices intended for either primary
or adjunctive treatment of primary or secondary lymphedema. The devices are also
intended for additional or alternate treatment of venous insufficiency and chronic venous
stasis ulcers associated with venous insufficiency as well as general treatment for
swelling of the extremities. The devices are intended for both home and hospital use.
Contraindications
Compression IS NOT recommended in the following conditions:
•Infections in the limb, including cellulitis, without appropriate antibiotic coverage
•The presence of lymphangiosarcoma
•Suspicion or confirmation of the presence of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
•Inflammatory phlebitis or episodes of pulmonary embolism
•Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
•Active cancer except for palliative care
•Other indications as identified by the treating physician
Device Description and Operating Principle
Sequential Circulators provide gradient pneumatic compression for the treatment of
lymphedema and associated venous disorders. Sequential gradient compression helps
to increase blood flow and move excess lymph away from the affected area for
clearance from the body. This device can provide sequential (distal to proximal)
inflation/deflation cycles of compressed air at prescribed pressures.
Pneumatic compression devices are proven to reduce limb swelling associated with
lymphedema, 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
•50 mmHg works well for most patients. However, a different pressure might be
prescribed for your personal need and tolerance
•Presence of fibrotic tissue may require as much as 80 mmHg in order to soften the
fibrotic tissue and achieve reduction. Once the tissue is soft, the compression can
be readjusted to 50 mmHg
•Patients with a history of Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), which is controlled with
medication, should never be in a flat position while pumping. They should be in a
reclined position with elevated legs during treatment. Their treatment regimen
duration may be divided into twice a day 30 minutes per treatment
•Patients with a history of Deep Vein Thrombosis with or without a filter may require
less compression. These patients will generally tolerate 40 mmHg. Patients with a
filter may need to divide their treatment into twice a day, 30 minutes per treatment.
It is suggested that the provider obtain a negative Doppler study from the physician
for their records

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

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

Ask A Doctor Before Use If You Have
•Insensitive, irritated, injured skin, or skin conditions in/around treatment sites
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, or place in a washing machine or
dryer
•Do not stand or walk while wearing garments as this can cause a fall
•Always wear clothing, bandages, or stockings underneath garments for hygienic
reasons and to avoid irritation
•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 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
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.

and F is 5. The remaining digits appear in the LED Readout. For example, if the
Chamber Number LED is D and the LED Readout is 013 that represents 3013 hours of
use.
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 and tubing cleaning
•Unplug and wipe down using a damp (not wet) soft cloth with mild antibacterial
soap as needed
•Do not use bleach
Garment Disinfection

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

9
•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

Information for Distributors and Healthcare Providers
Resetting the Pump
The pump remembers user settings and therefore it is important to reset the pump to its
original factory settings when placing the device on a new patient. To reset the usage
meter and return the pump to factory settings:
•Begin with pump turned off and hold the MODE, UP, and DOWN buttons for 5
seconds
•LED Readout will light up
•Release the buttons and then press the MODE button
