There is an air pump inside the AVACEN 100 that runs during therapy. Some motor noise is normal, and the noise will vary as the AVACEN 100 adjusts the air pressure of the inflatable cuff and inside the vacuum chamber. This improves the comfort of the inflatable cuff. -
Page 18: I Keep Getting A "Push Hand Down Slightly" Or "Lift Hand Slightly" Message
L. I keep getting a "Push Hand Down Slightly" or "Lift Hand Slightly" message It is very important that the AVACEN 100 is placed on a level surface and your hand is NOT inside the Vacuum Chamber when you turn the device on. If your hand is inside the vacuum chamber (resting on the Heatpad) when the device is turned on, the onboard computer will not measure your hand pressure correctly. -

Questions and answers
My Avacen Seal is not closing
The Avacen 100 seal may not be closing due to the following reasons:
1. The inflatable cuff is not properly sealed at the wrist.
2. The pressure line is not connected to the inflatable cuff or is obstructed.
3. The vacuum chamber is not positioned correctly, with the silicone seal resting on top of the plastic "wall" instead of making proper contact.
4. The thumbscrews securing the vacuum chamber are not tightened properly.
If the unit cannot reach the proper vacuum level within 60 seconds or loses vacuum during therapy, it will display an error message and power down.
