The pressure control mechanism is located on the front
of the pump and ranges from 30-60mmHg. The pressure
exerted by the garments on the leg can be adjusted by

independent of the pressure control and delivery system,
providing added reliability and safety. The digital
display indicates the actual pressure that is delivered to
the garments, and furnishes immediate and continuous
feedback regarding pump performance.
The pressure display is used for the following functions:
After turning the pump on, check that the pressure
display is showing the desired output pressure when the
garments are inflated. Visually recheck the display at
regular intervals.
Rotate the pressure control knob during the active
inflation period until the required pressure is displayed.
To confirm the calibration accuracy of the pressure
control and display, perform the following check each
time the pump is turned on.
During normal operation when the display reads
the pointer on the pressure control knob should be
located somewhere within the 40 mmHg arc on the front
panel. If the pointer falls outside of this arc, the pump
should not be used and referred to service for
recalibration.
