OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The Hemo-Force® System is easy to set up. The following steps should
be followed. Please read this instruction manual in its entirety before
setting up.
1. Once the pump and sleeves have been removed
from their packaging plug the pump into an
electrical outlet. DO NOT TURN ON.
2. Position the pump on any flat surface or suspend the
pump at the foot of the bed using the swing-out hooks.
Do not hook on a slanted or curved surface.
3. Measure patient's calf/foot/thigh circumference
at the widest point to ensure proper fit.
4. Application of the Calf / Thigh sleeve(s).
a) Sleeves come in identical pairs and may be used on either leg.
b) Unfold the sleeve and lay the unfolded sleeve on
a flat surface with the inside of the sleeve facing up.
c) Position the sleeve at the appropriate ankle or knee landmark.
d) Place the patient's leg on the sleeve lining,
position the back of the knee over the popliteal
opening in the case of thigh high sleeve.
e) Starting at the side opposite the air hose, wrap the main
flap of the sleeve snugly around the patient's leg.
f) Fasten the sleeve securely with the hook and loop fasteners
starting at the ankle and then moving to the calf and/or
thigh. Secure with tabs starting at the bottom tab. Check
that none of the hook and loop flaps hang off the end of
the sleeve (entirety of hook and loop area is secured to
the sleeve). The sleeve should fit securely but not tightly
around all parts of the patient's leg. Confirm sleeve is
properly sized by checking that the index line falls between
the range markers. Follow the instructions and select the
next size up or down if the index line falls out of range.
g) Use the "two-finger" rule to check that the correct fit
is used. Insert 2 fingers horizontally (with palm up and
both fingers touching the patient's leg) in between
the sleeve and the patient. This practice should be
done at both the top and bottom of the sleeve.
h) Using the same procedures apply the second model sleeve
if needed. If only one sleeve is to be used, simply leave the
unused air outlet on the pump free (no sleeve attached).
