Compression Cycle: Inflation: ~ 12 seconds Rest / deflation: ~ 48 seconds Total cycle time: 60 seconds Garments / Sleeves: Comes with soft compression sleeves (calf, calf-thigh, or foot) for one or both legs. Power / Electricity: Input: 100 – 240 VAC, 50‑60 Hz Fuse: 250 VAC, 1.0 A, SLO‑BLO. Battery: Rechargeable lithium battery, 10.8 V, 4400 mAh. Dimensions: ~ 4″ (W) × 7″ (L) × 11″ (H) (i.e., ~110 × 180 × 270 mm) Weight: ~ 5.1 lb (~2.3 kg) Operation Mode: Continuous sequential compression. Safety / Alarms: Has visual / audible system fault indicators per manufacturer spec sheet. Portability Features: Compact design Detachable power cord for easy transport Bed hanger included (to attach pump to hospital / home bed) Usage Indication: Preventative therapy in patients at risk of DVT — e.g., in immobile patients or post-surgery. Contraindications: Should not be used in certain conditions, such as: severe vascular disease, known acute DVT, congestive cardiac failure, pulmonary edema / embolism, infected limb, or malignancy in limbs. Certifications: FDA-approved device. 👍 Pros / Use‑Case Very effective for preventing blood clots (DVT) in high‑risk patients. Good for both hospital and home use thanks to battery + portability. Comfortable sleeves, and clinically-tuned compression cycle mimics natural walking. Safety features (alarms, low‑weight, approved device) support regular / long-term use. ⚠️ Considerations / Limitations Needs a prescription / doctor’s approval for use. Not intended for use in certain conditions (see contraindications above). Requires upkeep: sleeves, tubing, and pump maintenance should be done per user manual. Battery runtime / life depends on use — for very frequent use, check whether battery backup is sufficient. When using sleeves, ensure correct size / fit to avoid skin discomfort or pressure injury. Things to Consider When Renting Sleeves: Check what size of leg sleeves you need (calf, thigh, foot) and whether they’re included or extra. Rental Duration: have monthly & Quaterly plans. Sanitization: Ensure the pump is cleaned / sanitized before delivery; worn cuffs can be an infection risk. Setup & Training: Ask for a technician to help set up and teach how to use it correctly. Power Backup: If you’re using it at home, check if the device supports battery backup (or plan for stable power) — some pumps have battery. Doctor’s Prescription: Most places will ask for a doctor’s note / prescription to rent a DVT pump. Return Process: Clarify how to return the machine and what the pickup / drop-off terms are.
