Programming treatment settings
CYCLE TIMES
Fill-to-fit and treatment cycle times are dependent on
the number of garments attached, garment/limb size,
and pressure settings. At default settings (50 mmHg
distal pressure, 3 mmHg step), fill-to-fit times range
between 5-9 minutes, and average treatment cycle times
range between 33-46 seconds. The minimum cycle times
for six and eight chamber garments are 18 seconds and
24 seconds, respectively.
The PCU is preloaded with default settings of a distal pressure of  mmHg and
a step value of  mmHg, regardless of garment type. This compression profile is
shown below in Example 1.
Example 1: A 6-chamber garment (lower leg) where the distal pressure is set to
50 mmHg with a step value of  mmHg.

Example 2: An 8-chamber garment (whole leg or arm) where the distal pressure
is set to 80 mmHg with a step value of  mmHg.

Step 5: Set Treatment Time (3.6). The treatment time is the complete session
time, including the initial garment fill-to-fit (see p.14) and treatment cycles. The
treatment time can be set in  minute increments ranging from  minutes to 
hours. Touch to increase the treatment time in  minute increments or
to decrease the time in  minute increments. Regardless of the treatment
time setting, the fill-to-fit process will always complete along with at least one
treatment cycle. If treatment time expires during a treatment cycle, the session
will end at the completion of the treatment cycle.
