A-V Impulse System
A-V Impulse System
If this controller is dropped, subjected to excessive moisture, fluid spillage,
humidity or high temperature, or suspected to have been damaged, remove
it from service for inspection by qualified service personnel. When transporting
or storing the controller use the original packaging, where possible, and
adhere to the transport and storage conditions stated in the specifications
section and on the outer packaging.
An electrical shock hazard exists if the casing is opened, removed, or if the unit
is in contact with water. This system should not be used on wet surfaces, while
the patient is bathing or otherwise in contact with water.
The A-V Impulse 6000 series controller is class 1 Medical Equipment. Warning:
To avoid risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a
supply mains with protective earth.
An explosion hazard exists if the system is used in the presence of flammable
anesthetics. Exercise care to locate the system away from hazardous sources.
When connected to AC power supply a three-wire (Live, Neutral and Earth
ground) supply must be used. If the integrity of the external protective
conductor is in doubt do not use the controller.
The power cord is the only reliable means to disconnect and isolate from the
mains voltage. If required, unplug the device from the electrical receptacle.
A service manual containing servicing and testing information is available for the
A-V Impulse foot compression system.
Illustrations used in this manual show typical values that may be used in the
function of the controller. These settings and values are for illustrative purposes
only. The complete range of settings and values are stated in the
specification section.
Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel.
Operator Profile: the operator of this device must be capable of seeing the user
interface. The operator should be able to move the device if needed and
plug and unplug the air hoses. Although training on the use of the device
is recommended, no special skills are required.
The A-V Impulse foot compression system is contraindicated for patients with
conditions where an increase of fluid to the heart may be detrimental, including
some patients with congestive heart failure, and those with pre-existing deep vein
thrombosis, thrombophlebitis or pulmonary embolism. The device should be used
with caution on the infected or insensitive extremity.
Special attention, additional padding and additional checks should be given
to patients with poor circulation, fragile skin, insensitive extremities, diabetes
and those who may be predisposed to tissue viability problems, including
those receiving anti-coagulation therapy. To minimize pressure effects, reduce
the impulse pressure and set the impulse duration to 1 second. Check for skin
reddening and any early signs that may lead to tissue viability problems. Use
additional padding, or discontinue treatment, according to clinical judgement.
