Cuff Application

The VenaFlow Elite System will automatically detect the cuff that is attached to the
device and apply appropriate pressures . You must attach the cuffs prior to powering
on the device .
1) Calf cuff – Apply cuff with the tube pointed toward the foot . The aircell may be
placed either on the back, side or front of the leg .
It doesn't matter where the aircell sits on the leg, it
will perform the same .
Foot cuff – Apply cuff with the aircell centered on bottom of foot and with the
tube pointed to the left . Foot cuffs are only for use in standard rapid
inflation mode .
Thigh cuff – Apply cuff with the distal and proximal aircells centered on either the
back, side or front of the calf and thigh with the tube pointed toward the foot . It
doesn't matter where the aircell sits on the leg, it will perform the same .
2) Connect cuffs to the tubing that is attached to the pump .
For varied patient sizes, trim calf and thigh cuffs as needed for proper fit .
Be sure to secure cuff straps snug but not tight . Once again, when using the calf cuff
and thigh cuff, rotation of the aircell on the leg does not affect performance of the system .
