- How does sequential compression work?
- The pump inflates four air chambers in order, starting at the foot and moving up to the thigh, then deflates. This milks blood and lymph toward the body, which is why it is used for swelling and recovery.
- What pressure and cycle settings does it offer?
- Pressure is adjustable from about 50 to 280 mmHg, with a 20–30 second inflation cycle and a timer from 0 to 30 minutes. Start low and build up as you get used to it.
- Who should not use it?
- The maker lists acute skin inflammation, heart failure, acute venous thrombosis, deep thrombophlebitis, pulmonary edema, erysipelas, venous cancer, an artificial heart and unstable hypertension as contraindications. Check with a doctor if you have any of these or a clotting disorder.
- What do I need to do before the first use?
- Open the bottom of the pump, remove the internal transport bolts while protecting the pump core, then fit the baffle and switch it on. Running it with the bolts in place can damage the pump.
- Will the sleeves fit larger legs?
- The sleeves are sized for a calf girth up to about 64 cm and a thigh girth up to about 64 cm, with an 83 cm heel-to-thigh length. Measure before buying if you are near those limits.
- Can I use it on my arms?
- It is designed as a leg device, with sleeves shaped for the calf and thigh. The listed specs do not cover arm cuffs, so do not assume arm use.
