2. Clinical Application
Intermittent Compression Therapy
A thorough assessment of the patient should be made considering
the general state of the patient and the specic characteristics of their
presenting condition. The choice of system, i.e. garment and treatment
regime, is to be recommended by the medical practitioner for the patient.
Training and education of the patient in the use and understanding of
the system will help to ensure compliance.
Indications • Lymphedema - primary
- secondary;
• Oedema - dependent
- traumatic
- secondary to stroke;
• Chronic Venous Insufciency
Cautions 1. Proper application and connection to the pump is
essential.
2. Garments should be removed if the patient experiences
tingling, numbness or pain.
Contraindications
POWERPRESS unit should NOT be used in the following conditions:
1. Severe arteriosclerosis or other ischemic vasular diseases.
2. Known or suspected acute deep vein thrombosis.
3. Severe congestive cardiac failure.
4. Any local condition in which garments would interfere,
for example:
• Gangrene • Dermatitis
• Untreated, infected leg wounds
• Recent skin graft

1. Introduction
The Powerpress Unit system consists of a pneumatic pump which is light
and simple to use and a 4 chamber garment. It is suitable for home use.
The pump supplies air via connecting tubes to an inatable garment
allowing the application of controlled pressure to gently compress the limb.
This action assists in increasing the return of blood, excess uids, improves
venous stasis and encourages the reabsorption of waste products.
Compression Cycle:
36sec ination (9sec each chamber) / 24 sec deation
Chamber 1 (Foot) = 36sec
Chamber 2 (Ankle) = 27sec
Chamber 3 (Calf) = 18sec
Chamber 4 (Thigh) = 9sce
Variable pressure output ranges from 30-160 mmHg. The segments within
the garments are designed to prevent ridging and ensure high patient
comfort and compliance.
** We would recommend that this manual is read throughly before
proceeding with treatment. Please also refer to clinical guidelines and
contraindications.

3. Clinical Treatment Guide
An initial pressure of 40 mmHg (30 mmHg for management of lymphedema)
is suggested at the commencement of treatment. It may be necessary to
start at a lower level of pressure, dependent on the patient’s tolerance.
The pressure can be gradually increased over time, until the required
pressure is reached. The upper treatment pressure range is generally
60-70 mmHg.
A single treatment session is usually 20-60 minutes.
The above settings and timings are guidelines, and should not be used as
a substitute for clinical judgement and experience.

How to SET UP Pressure?
• Model# P1000
1. Turn on Power Switch
2. Wait until deation time
During Deation Time; Pressure Gauge does not move
Air does not inate sleeves
Air in the sleeves comes out
Air does not come out from connection port
3. Turn Pressure Knob quickly and set to desired pressure
4. Connect Tubing Hose and wear sleeves.
During usage of Pump : Wait until deation time to set desired pressure
To Remove the Garment: Switch off the pump, disconnect the tubing
from the pump by removing the tube connectors.
