Manamed PlasmaFlow Portable DVT System

PlasmaFlow Portable DVT System Features

• A battery that lasts a long time, up to 10 hours on one charge.
• There are two modes: one where the air keeps flowing continuously and another that slowly increases the pressure.
• It has two screens to keep an eye on how it's working and the pressure.
• It's easy to carry around, not heavy, and doesn't need any tubes.

Indications for Use

The PlasmaFlow model PF0001 is a simple, portable device that doctors can recommend for patients to use at home or in a clinic. It helps prevent DVT (a blood clot condition) by making the blood flow better in the arms and legs, kind of like how your muscles move.

This device can be used to:

• Prevent DVT.
• Make the blood flow better.
• Reduce pain and swelling after surgery.
• Speed up the healing of wounds.
• Help treat skin problems like stasis, dermatitis, and ulcers.
• Reduce swelling in the legs.
• It's also handy for people who will be sitting still for a long time to lower their DVT risk.

Contraindications

• Do not use PlasmaFlow for these situations:
• People with certain health issues like deep vein clots, bad artery disease, severe heart problems, bad leg inflammation, or untreated infections.
• Also, don't use it on legs with issues like damaged veins, dying tissue, skin problems, fresh skin grafts, a lot of swelling, or really messed-up legs.
• Avoid using it on people with nerve problems or legs that can't feel pain.
• Don't use it if you don't want more blood and lymph fluid going back to the heart.

The screen on the left side of the Power Button will display "O" and the screen on the right side of the Power Button will display "F2". The unit will start operating in "Mode 2" after a 10-second pause. To switch the PlasmaFlow unit back to "Mode 1," simply tap the Power Button once.

Mode 1 "Slow Inflation: Pressure will inflate to 55 mmHG and deflate.

Mode 2 "Step up Technology: The PlasmaFlow unit's pressure will increase at 10 mmHG with a pause at every increment. Once the unit reaches 55 mmHG, it will deflate in the same descending increments. Wrap the cuff around each calf and secure the Velcro to hold it in place. Make sure the wrap is snug, but not too tight.
