Pump should not be used during episodes of pulmonary embolism or in any instance where increased venous return or lymphatic return is undesirable. Do not use on a patient with burns, open wound, rash or fracture. Use with caution on extremities which are not sensitive to pain. Do not counter accepted clinical practice or institution guidelines. # SAFETY Preponderance of problems associated with the use of a Compression Sleeve system is improper operation of the system not system failure. Sleeve problems are: 1. Puncture or cuts that destroy the integrity of the air chambers. 2. Dry Cleaning, Steam or Dry Heat Sterilization that destroys the sleeves. Operator Errors are: 1. Sleeve applied too loose. 2. Sleeve applied too tight. # SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE The Trinity Huntleigh Pump Compatible Sleeve are the same as the sleeves released to market under K954489, 27-SEP-95, Trinity Sleeve(s), Delphi Consulting Group and sleeve tubing pump connector same as Huntleigh Technology, K910188, Pump Flowtron DVT Model AC500DVT with pressure range of 20-60 mmHg. # MATERIALS Cover is made from soft brushed nylon with hooks of Velcro.
