The VenaOne DVT Compression System is a tubeless, portable, lightweight, and battery-operated device designed to aid in the prevention of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) by stimulating blood flow in the legs. It applies pneumatic compression, a clinically proven modality, and is specifically designed for acute-care settings. The system consists of a main device and disposable wraps.
Function Description:
The VenaOne device inflates each leg cuff to a preset pressure of 55 mmHg in approximately 6 to 8 seconds, holds this pressure for about 2 seconds, then releases the pressure and rests for about 50 seconds before repeating the cycle. This cyclic compression helps enhance blood circulation, diminish post-operative pain and swelling, reduce wound healing time, and aid in the treatment and healing of various conditions such as stasis dermatitis, venous stasis ulcers, arterial and diabetic leg ulcers, chronic venous insufficiency, and reduction of edema in the lower limbs. The device is operated with a single power button, controlling all functions.

- Application: The VenaOne device and bladder slide into the bottom of the disposable wrap. The wrap is then sealed using an adhesive strip. The wrap is applied around the calf and secured with fabric fasteners, ensuring a snug but not too tight fit.
- Alarm Indicators:
- High Pressure "HP": Displays if the device applies higher pressures than normal. Power off, restart; if it persists, remove from service.
- Low Pressure "LP": Displays if the device applies lower pressures than normal. Power off, restart; if it persists, remove from service.
- Battery Low "BL": Displays when the battery is running low (30 minutes or less remaining). Alarm ONE sounds 3 times every 2 minutes.
- One Bar Flashing RED: Displays when battery has 5 minutes or less remaining. Alarm ONE sounds 3 times every 10 seconds.
- System Failure "SF": Remove the device from service and replace.
- Alarm Silencing: Press and hold the POWER BUTTON for one second without turning off the device.
- Contraindications: MUST NOT be used for suspected, active, or untreated DVT, ischemic vascular disease, severe arteriosclerosis, pulmonary edema, severe congestive heart failure, thrombophlebitis, active infection, or on legs with conditions like vein ligation, gangrene, dermatitis, open wounds, recent skin graft, massive edema, extreme deformity, neuropathy, or insensitivity to pain. Also contraindicated where increased venous or lymphatic return is undesirable.
