2. PREPARE FOR TREATMENT
2.1 Place the device on a at and sturdy surface in close proximity to where the
paent will be resng.
2.2 Aach the power cord to the back of the pump and then plug it into a safe 120 VAC,
60 Hz outlet. A grounded outlet is not required.
2.3 Note the LATCH CONNECTORS, numbered 1—4 and 5—8, located at the end of the
tubing on your garment (See Figure 2). With one hand squeeze the LATCH CON-
NECTOR with numbers facing up and push into the Receptor Ports (7) with matching
numbers located on the front panel of the device. You should hear a click when fully
engaged.
2.4 If two garments are used, remove the Blocker Bars (see Figure 3) and aach the
LATCH CONNECTORS from the second garment to the auxiliary ports (8).
2.5 Pung the garment on
LEG GARMENTS, unzip the garment gently all the way down to the boom and stop
(zipper does not separate). Place the foot at the boom end of the garment and pull
on garments straps to help guide the garment up and onto your leg. Once garment
is in place pull up the zipper while supporng the garment to wrap around the leg.
ARM GARMENTS, slide the arm through the internal cavity of the garment.
Note: Do not wear the garments directly over skin. Always wear light clothing
underneath garments for hygienic reasons and to avoid irritaon. It is
recommended that light bandages, clean hosiery or stockinees be worn
under garments. Clothing should be free of zippers, buons or other items that
could rub and chafe the skin or damage the garment.
3. Turning Pump On
3.1 Seat yourself comfortably in a reclined posion, within easy reach of the pump. Legs
should be elevated (see photo on front page).
3.2 Powering on your device - Press the “Power On/O” (1) buon to turn your pump on
and o.
3.3 When rst turned on, the LED Display (5) will show the total hours the pump has
been used. Aer 5 seconds, the LED display shows which mode your pump is set to,
aer which the pump will start to blow air. The air pressure will be the same as the
previous treatment. Factory default pressure is 50 mmHg in the chamber #1, de-
creasing to 43 mmHg in chamber #8. To change the
pressure, see Secon 5.
3.4 As the pump starts to run through its cycle, the number that shows in the LED
Display (5) is the countdown mer. The SC-3008-DL includes a automac shuto
mer. To run the pump in connuous (unmed) mode, see Secon 6.
3.5 White operang in the Timed Shuto mode, it is possible to view the set pressure by
holding down the “Mode” buon. If you would like to toggle back to the countdown
mer, simple press the “Mode” buon again.

4. END OF TREATMENT
The pump powers down one of two ways:
1) Aer your 60 minute treatment is complete
2) You press the “Power On/O” (1) buon while the pump is running.
4.1 When your treatment is over, wait one minute before taking o the garment.
4.2 Squeeze the LATCH CONNECTOR and pull outward to remove garment from pump.
4.3 Connue to assist in the evacuaon of air from garment, working from top to
boom.
4.4 Once the garment feels loose enough, you can unzip the garment all the way to
boom and remove.
Repeat steps 4.2 through 4.4 if two garments are used!
NOTE: In case of a power failure your device will automacally shut-down. The
device does not have a baery backup and does not have mer memory. Once
your power is restored you will have to turn your device back on and
resume your treatment. A new 60 minute treatment will start. You can then end
the treatment manually by turning the power o.
GUIDELINES FOR TREATMENT
A physician is required to prescribe these sengs, but general guidelines
are listed below:
 All compression sengs should be discussed with the physician. It is ulmately his / her
responsibility to prescribe the seng and it should be wrien on the
prescripon upon referral. Every paent is unique and communicaon with the
physician is important when seng pressures.
 60mmHg works well for most paents. However, a dierent pressure might be
prescribed for your personal needs.
 Presence of broc ssue may require as much as 80mmHg in order to soen the -
broc ssue and achieve reducon. Once the ssue is so, the compression can be re-
adjusted to 60mmHg.
 Paents with a history of Congesve Heart Failure (CHF), which is controlled with medi-
caon, should never be in a at posion while pumping. They should be in a
reclined posion with elevated legs during treatment. Their treatment regimen
duraon may be divided into twice a day 30 minutes per treatment.
 Paents with a history of Deep Vein Thrombosis with or without a lter may
require less compression. These paents will generally tolerate 40mmHG. These
paents with a lter may need to divide their treatment into twice a day, 30
minutes per treatment. It is suggested that the provider obtain a Negave
Doppler study from the physician for their records.
To change the pressures in the individual garment chambers, See Secon 5.
