1. Set up Pump
•Press bed hanger release on the back of the pump and gently pull out
bed hanger hook to the desired width.
•Connect tubing to the pump. Plug pump into electrical outlet.
2. Apply Cu
•The VenaFlow Elite system will automatically detect the type of cu and the number of cus attached and apply appropriate
pressures. Cus must be attached prior to powering on the service.
•Be sure to secure cu straps snug but not tight. When using the calf cu and thigh cu, rotation of the aircell on the leg does not
aect performance of the system.**

Intended Use/Indications
The VenaFlow Elite System is intended as a prophylaxis for deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Contraindications
The VenaFlow Elite System should not be used by persons with known or suspected deep vein thrombosis, severe congestive heart failure, pulmonary edema, thrombophlebitis, severe arteriosclerosis, or active infection. Do
not use on extremities which are not sensitive to pain, where cu will interfere with gangrene, on patients with vein ligation or recent skin grafts, or extreme deformity of the leg. Do not use the VenaFlow Elite System where
increased venous or lymphatic return is undesirable.
Warning and Precautions
• The VenaFlow Elite cus are designed for single patient use only.
• Risk of explosion if used in the presence of flammable anaesthetics.
• The equipment or system should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment and, if adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the equipment or system should be observed to verify normal operation in the
configuration in which it will be used.
• Medical Electrical Equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC. Portable and Mobile RF Communications Equipment can be aected by other Medical Electrical Devices.
• Cus used in combination with warming devices may cause skin irritation. Regularly check for patient comfort, compliance and skin irritation.
• Special attention should be given to those patients with neuropathies or tissue viability problems (i.e. diabetes, arterial or venous insuciencies).
• To prevent extremity compartment syndrome, special attention should be given to patients who are positioned in the supine lithotomy position for extended lengths of time. This includes patients with or without
compression cus.
• If you experience pain, swelling, sensation changes or any unusual reactions while using this device, consult your medical professional immediately.
4. Standard Rapid Mode Operation
•Press ON/OFF/RESET button.
•Cu inflation alternates between the two legs every 30
seconds.
•Distal aircell inflates first and the proximal aircell follows.
•Pressures settle at 45mmHg ± 15%. (Foot Cu peak ~130
mmHg.)
•After six seconds the cu deflates.
•Alarm will sound if the system is not functioning properly.
5. S Mode Operation
•When powered on, the VenaFlow Elite System will default
to standard rapid inflation mode. If a slower inflation is
desired, select the S mode operation button.
•Once selected, both cus will inflate simultaneously once
per minute.
•Both cus will inflate and compress for a total of 10 seconds.
•While in S mode the icon will appear in the top center
of the graphical display. The device will remain in S mode
until user presses the S mode operation button again.
This button allows user to toggle between standard rapid
inflation mode and S mode.
6. Locking in Standard Rapid
or S Mode
•To lock in standard rapid mode, make sure the device is in
standard rapid mode, then press and hold the S mode
button for 5 seconds. Do the same to unlock it.
•To lock in S mode, make sure the device is in S mode and
press and hold the S mode button for 5 seconds. Do
the same to unlock it.
