General Safety

Before you connect the system pump to a mains socket, read carefully all the

installation instructions in Section 4 - System Set Up. The system has been designed

to comply with regulatory safety standards including:

• UL60601-1 & CAN/CSA C22.2 No 601-1

Precautions

For your own safety and the safety of the equipment, always take the following

precautions:

• Regularly check the system when in use, for pump operation and garment fit.

• Keep the pump away from sources of liquids and do not immerse in water.

• Do not expose the system, especially the garments, to naked flames, such as

cigarettes etc.

• Do not store the system in direct sunlight.

• Switch off the electrical supply to the pump by disconnecting the pump from the

mains socket before cleaning and inspection.

• Do not use hypercarbonate or phenolic based cleaning solutions.

• Ensure the system is clean and dry prior to storage.

• Only the pump and garment combination as indicated by Huntleigh Healthcare

should be used. The correct function of the product cannot be guaranteed if the

incorrect pump/garment combinations are used.

Safety Warnings

• Electrical equipment may be hazardous if misused. The pump's

case back should only be removed by authorised technical

personnel.

• Do not use the pump in the presence of flammable gases such

as anaesthetic agents.

• Make sure that the mains power cable is positioned to avoid

causing a trip or other hazard, and is clear of moving bed

mechanisms or other possible entrapment areas.

Caution

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). This product complies with

the requirements of applicable EMC Standards. The use of

accessories not specified by the manufacturer may result in

increased emissions by, or decreased immunity of, the equipment,

affecting its performance

1. Description and Operating Principle

The Flowtron®Universal system is a non-invasive external intermittent pneumatic

compression system for reducing the incidence of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).

The application of external pneumatic compression has two effects:

• Augments venous blood flow velocity, thereby reducing stasis.

• Enhances fibrinolytic activity to reduce the risk of early clot formation.

The system comprises of a pump that can be used in conjunction with an extensive

range of Huntleigh Healthcare inflatable garments, including foot, calf and thigh

length versions.

The system is designed to be simple and easy to operate.

The pump automatically adjusts to the correct therapy profile depending upon which

garment type (foot, calf or thigh length) is connected.

An optional battery pack is available which allows the pump to be used

independently of an AC power outlet.

Caution

Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a

physician.

2. Clinical Applications

The primary application of the Flowtron Universal system is for the prevention of

Deep Vein Thrombosis. Depending on the garment type used, other clinical

applications are also appropriate.

The FG foot garment, in particular, has a wide range of clinical applications.

Full details for clinical applications are included in the packaging of every garment.

The type of garment used on an individual patient must be specified by a

physician.

3. Cautions & Contraindications

Cautions 1. Proper garment application and connection to the

pump is essential.

2. Garments should be positioned in such a way that

they do not create any potential for constant

pressure points on the patient’s limb. Additional

care should be taken when placing the garments on

any deformed leg or foot, or on legs with significant

oedema.

3. Garments should be removed immediately if the

patient experiences tingling, numbness, or pain, and

the physician notified.

4. When used for DVT prevention, continuous

external pneumatic compression is recommended

until the patient is fully ambulatory. Uninterrupted

use of the Flowtron Universal system is

encouraged.

5. The Flowtron Universal system should be USED

WITH CAUTION on patients with:

• Insensitive extremities

• Diabetes

• Impaired circulation

• Fragile or impaired skin

Contraindications The Flowtron Universal system should NOT be used in

the following conditions:

1. Where an increase of fluid to the heart may be

detrimental.

2. Severe congestive cardiac failure.

3. Known or suspected acute deep vein thrombosis,

thrombophlebitis or pulmonary embolism.

4. On untreated, infected legs.

4. System Set up

The Flowtron Universal system is simple to set up and operate. The pump does not

require any setting or adjustment of controls. It automatically senses the type of

garment connected and adjusts the therapy cycle accordingly.

Garment Application

Use the correct garment type as ordered by the patient’s physician.

For detailed instructions on correct fitting and use, carefully read and follow the

instruction provided with every garment set.

General Guidelines and Recommendations

• Only use Huntleigh Healthcare approved garments with the

Flowtron Universal system. Note: Non-Huntleigh garments will not function

properly with the system and should not be used.

• While using the system, the patient’s limbs should be checked during every

shift, and more often if the patient has known circulatory or skin problems, or

is diabetic.

• Note: Many patients are at risk for pressure ulcers on the heel. Use of the foot

garments does not negate the necessity for heel protection and proper skin

care.

• Clinical judgment should be used to determine if the patient’s skin condition

requires additional measures, such as use of a stockinette or padding, or if the

treatment should be discontinued and alternative modalities used.

• Huntleigh Healthcare, however, does not recommend the use of compression

stockings with its system. If these are ordered by the physician, the clinician

should ensure that the compression stockings are properly measured, applied

and worn by the patient. Any compression stocking used should be routinely

checked to ensure continued proper fit and application, in addition to assessing

the condition of the skin.
