intended Uses
The TriplePlay TPVT-01 is intended to be an easy to use portable system,
prescribed by a physician, to help prevent the onset of DVT in patients by
stimulating blood flow in the extremities (simulating muscle contractions).
This device can be used to:
• Aid in the prevention of DVT;
• Enhance blood circulation;
• Diminish post-operative pain and swelling;
• Reduce wound healing time;
• Aid in the treatment of: stasis dermatitis, venous stasis ulcers, arterial
and diabetic leg ulcers, chronic venous insufficiency and reduction of
edema in the lower limbs;
• As a prophylaxis for DVT by persons expecting to be stationary for long
periods of time.
Contraindications
The TriplePlay TPVT-01 must not be used to treat the following conditions:
• Persons with suspected, active or untreated: deep vein thrombosis,
ischemic vascular disease, severe arteriosclerosis, pulmonary edema,
congestive heart failure, thrombophlebitis or an active infection;
• On a leg where cuffs would interfere with the following conditions:
vein ligation, gangrene, dermatitis, open wounds, a recent skin graft,
massive edema or extreme deformity of the leg;
• On patients with neuropathy;
• On extremities that are insensitive to pain;
• Where increased venous or lymphatic return is undesirable;

The rechargeable batteries supplied in this unit are not field replaceable.
Return unit to Wildcat Medical if batteries require replacement.
nOTE: Recharge batteries every 60 days when unit is not in use in order
to maintain battery integrity. Batteries can be recharged approximately 500
times between replacements.

for its intended use.
warning: Ensure the pump control unit is turned off and unplugged
from the wall outlet prior to and while cleaning or disinfecting.
warning: Equipment should not be used in the presence of any
FLAMMABLE ANESTHETIC MIXTURE WITH AIR OR WITH OXYGEN OR
NITROUS OXIDE.
CaUTiOn: Do not immerse in any liquid for any reason.
CaUTiOn: Do not operate device in a wet environment.
CaUTiOn: Allow cuffs to warm to room temperature if exposed to
temperatures below 5°C
CaUTiOn: Do not subject the unit to extreme shocks, such as dropping
the pump unit.
CaUTiOn: Contains no user serviceable parts. Contact Compression

Environmental Considerations
• Do not expose device to direct sunlight.
• Do not operate pump below 0˚C (32˚F).
• Do not expose to heat exceeding 65˚C (149˚F).
• Do not operate the pump if it has been stored in freezing conditions. Allow
cuffs to warm to room temperature if exposed to temperatures below 5˚C
(41˚F).
• Do not unroll or attach the cuffs in below freezing temperatures (0˚C /
32˚F) as damage to the air bladders can occur, making them unable to hold
pressure.
• Store in a dry location between +10˚C (50˚F) and +40˚C (104˚F), 30% -75%
relative humidity.
• Limit Transport Temperatures to between -20˚C (-4˚F) and +60˚C (140˚F)
• Normal Operating Conditions Temperature Range +10˚C (50˚F) to +40˚C
(104˚F) Relative Humidity 30% to 75%
Purpose of this Device
The purpose of the TPVT-01 is to aid in the prevention of Deep Vein
Thrombosis (DVT) by helping to stimulate blood flow in the legs. This is
accomplished by an electronically controlled pump unit delivering a set
amount of air to the leg cuffs (model TP-3333) that, in turn, compress the calf
or calves to aid blood flow out of the lower extremities.
The TPVT-01 can also provide compression therapy to additional limb or
joint cuffs (as may be prescribed by a physician) through the use of the AUX
(auxiliary) function and output provided.
The pump unit will inflate the leg cuffs to a specified preset pressure of
50 mmHg, and the auxiliary cuff to a pressure of 20-50 mmHg (set by the user
or health care provider), and deflate once that pressure is reached. Cycles
are repeated until the unit is turned off. Internal rechargeable batteries
allow the system to be completely portable, thus preventing interruptions
in treatment.

2. Make sure all of the pieces listed on pages 6 and 7 are readily available.
3. Inspect all components for damage. If any parts appear damaged or are
inoperable, contact Compression Solutions Customer Service (front cover).
4. Before using, connect the supplied power adapter plug into the jack on
the pump and plug into the main wall socket. The LED CHARGE indicator
will turn RED during the charge cycle and GREEN when the charge is
complete. The unit may be used while connected to the charger.
5. Uncoil the tubing being careful to remove any kinks from tubing due to
compression in shipping.
6. Apply garments to leg(s) (see "Attaching Leg cuffs"), route tubing under
clothing or in a manner to prevent a tripping hazard and to avoid kinking.
7. Ensure metal thumb tabs on the pump unit and cuffs' air connectors are
depressed to allow the air tube connector(s) to engage.
8. Connect air tube(s) to pump air outlets.
attaching the leg Cuffs
1. Make sure that the securing tabs are on the inside of the sleeve relative
to your leg.
2. Place the cuff so the middle of the bladder outline is against the back of
your calf with the air tube fitting facing out.
3. Wrap the cuff around your calf so that it is a snug fit and fasten the securing
tabs. A loose fitting cuff can cause a low pressure (LO) error alarm.
4. Adjust as necessary.
