Section II - Patient Detection and Compliance Meter

Compliance Meter

The Kendall SCD™ 700 series controller has a feature called the Compliance Meter that can be used to monitor the amount
of time compression therapy is delivered either by shift, day, or during an entire hospital stay. This feature operates in the
background, so that it does not interrupt normal operation. Prior to using the Compliance Meter, confirm the controller has
been set up as described in Section I.
Time is tracked using a numerator/denominator format. The denominator (bottom number) displays the elapsed time since
the Compliance Meter was reset. The elapsed time has an upper bound of the shift selection. The numerator (top number) is
the therapy time applied over the last 8, 10, 12 or 24 hours.
If the Patient Detection feature is active, the numerator will display the amount of time compression therapy was
applied to the patient during the elapsed period of time specified in the denominator.
If the Patient Detection feature is disabled, the numerator notes the patient therapy time as the amount of time the unit
is operating during the elapsed period of time specified in the denominator.
NOTE: The patient must wear a leg or foot garment for prescribed compression therapy to be delivered and provide
intended prophylaxis.
The Compliance Meter time is expressed in hours and minutes.
When the controller is turned off or when an error condition is present, thus halting normal operation, the therapy time
(numerator) will not increment, but the elapsed time will continue to increment. The maximum amount of time that can
be displayed is 999 hours. After the controller is off for 40 days continuously, the Compliance Meter will reset to zero.
The Compliance Meter features are shown below:

Patient Detection
The Kendall SCD™ 700 series controller with software version 3.00.00 or greater, offers a feature that automatically
detects if the compression garments are applied to a patient. Referred to as the Patient Detection feature, it is designed to
supplement the Compliance Meter. Compliance time reported accurately communicates therapy delivered to a patient.
The system periodically checks for the presence of a patient. If the system is not able to detect a patient, the controller will
display a notification and sound an audible alert.
When the Patient Not Detected alert is present, the controller will continue to perform compression cycles. However, it is
still necessary to resolve the Patient Not Detected alert.
