Intended Use/Indications

The VenaFlow Elite System is intended as a prophylaxis for deep vein thrombosis
(DVT). The VenaFlow Elite System is designed to be used only with Aircast
VenaFlow Elite Compression Cuffs. Battery operation use only with DJO, LLC
battery packs.

Contraindications

The VenaFlow Elite System should not be used by persons with known or
suspected deep vein thrombosis, severe congestive heart failure, pulmonary
edema, thrombophlebitis, severe arteriosclerosis, or active infection. Do not
use on extremities which are not sensitive to pain, where cuff will interfere with
gangrene, on patients with vein ligation or recent skin grafts, or extreme deformity
of the leg. Do not use the VenaFlow Elite System where increased venous or
lymphatic return is undesirable.
Warning and Precautions
• The VenaFlow Elite cuffs are designed for single patient use only.
• Risk of explosion if used in the presence of flammable anaesthetics.
• The equipment or system should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment and, if adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the equipment or system
should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will
be used.
• Medical Electrical Equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC. Portable
and Mobile RF Communications Equipment can be affected by other Medical
Electrical Devices.
• Cuffs used in combination with warming devices may cause skin irritation.
Regularly check for patient comfort, compliance and skin irritation.
• Special attention should be given to those patients with neuropathies or tissue
viability problems (i.e. diabetes, arterial or venous insufficiencies).
• To prevent extremity compartment syndrome, special attention should be given
to patients who are positioned in the supine lithotomy position for extended
lengths of time. This includes patients with or without compression cuffs.
• If you experience pain, swelling, sensation changes or any unusual reactions while
using this device, consult your medical professional immediately.

Latex Information

All components of the VenaFlow Elite System are latex-free. All VenaFlow Elite
