Operating Instructions
The Hemo-Force® System is easy to set up. The following steps should
be followed. Please read this instruction manual in its entirety before
setting it up.
1.
Once the pump and garments have been removed
from their packaging plug the pump into an
electrical outlet. DO NOT TURN IT ON YET.
2. Position the pump on any flat surface or suspend the
pump at the foot of the bed using the swing-out hooks.
Do not hook on a slanted or curved surface.
3.
Measure the patient's calf/foot/thigh circumference
at the widest point to ensure proper fit.
4. Application of the Calf/Thigh garment(s).
a) Garments come in identical pairs and may be used on either leg.
b) Unfold the garment and lay the unfolded garment on
a flat surface with the inside of the garment facing up.
c)
Position the garment at the appropriate ankle or knee landmark.
d) Place the patient's leg on the garment lining, and
position the back of the knee over the popliteal
opening in the case of thigh high garment.
e) Starting at the side opposite the air hose, wrap the main
flap of the garments snugly around the patient's leg.
f)
Fasten the garment securely with the hook and loop fasteners
starting at the ankle and then move to the calf and/or thigh.
Secure with tabs starting at the bottom tab. Check that none
of the hook and loop flaps hang off the end of the garment
(the entirety of the hook and loop area is secured to the
garment). The garment should fit securely but not tightly
around all parts of the patient's leg. Confirm garment is
properly sized by checking that the index line falls between
the range markers. Follow the instructions and select the
next size up or down if the index line falls out of range.
g) Use the "two-finger" rule to check that the correct fit
is used. Insert 2 fingers horizontally (with palm up and
both fingers touching the patient's leg) in between
the garment and the patient. This practice should be
done at both the top and bottom of the garment.
h) Using the same procedures apply the second model garment
if needed. If only one garment is to be used, simply leave the
unused air outlet on the pump free (no garment attached).
