Garment Mode Selection; Mute; Warnings And Alarms; High Pressure - Stryker Restep User Manual

Garment MODE selection

The two modes available are DUAL GARMENT mode and SINGLE GARMENT mode. All garments can be
used in either mode. Press this key until the desired mode is illuminated by the mode indicator LED.
DUAL GARMENTS: This is the default setting for the pump. Each garment inflates for 12 seconds
and then deflates for 48 seconds per cycle. Inflation alternates between the two garments during
each cycle. One garment will inflate and then deflate and 30 seconds later the second garment will
inflate and then deflate.
SINGLE GARMENT: Press the MODE key once to select the SINGLE GARMENT mode. Only one
garment is used on the patient (either extremity). This garment inflates for 12 seconds and then
deflates for 48 seconds per cycle.
Note: It does not matter which extremity the garment is placed on or which connector is used.
The pump will detect this during its first inflation cycles and compensate accordingly.

Mute

When an alarm occurs, the pump will give the appropriate audible tone to inform the user of the alarm
and light the appropriate ALARM light. The user may silence the audible tone by pressing the MUTE key.

WARNINGS AND ALARMS

HIGH PRESSURE

This alarm may sound if a blockage exists between the pump and garment connections.
„ Check connectors between the garments and pump. If there is a disconnection, reconnect it.
„ Ensure that the tube set is not kinked, bent, and/or blocked. If present, reposition the tubes
to clear the blockage.
„ Ensure the garment is wrapped snugly around the extremity as required. If not, refit
the garment.
„ If the alarm continues, there may be an internal pump fault indicating the pump may
need servicing. Remove pump from service and contact your Stryker Sustainability Solutions
representative. DO NOT CONTINUE TO USE.

LOW PRESSURE

This alarm may sound when a garment is new and is first applied to the patient. Allow the system
to stabilize the pressure within the garment for five (5) cycles and check that the alarm has ceased.
If the alarm persists, check for air leakage between the pump and the garment connections:
If the alarm persists:
„ Ensure that garments are fully connected to the pump garment ports.
„ Ensure there are no splits or tears in the garments.
„ Ensure correct garment type and garment mode has been selected.
„ Ensure the garment is wrapped snugly around the extremity as required. If not, refit the
garment as required.
„ If the alarm continues, change garments.
„ If the alarm still continues after garment change, there may be an internal pump fault
indicating the pump may need servicing. Remove pump from service and contact your
Stryker Sustainability Solutions representative. DO NOT CONTINUE TO USE.
