Page 7: Device Description & Operating Principles
TThe application of gradient sequential compression increases blood flow and encourages extracellular fluid clearance. The AIROS 8 system consists of the device and 8-chambered garments. The device provides cycles of compressed air at certain adjustable pressures, and sequentially inflates the garments from distal to proximal. The pressure at each chamber can be individually adjusted to accommodate different therapy needs. -
