Covidien Kendall SCD 700 Sequential Compression System

AN ALL-IN-ONE SOLUTION
The Kendall SCD™ 700 system applies intermittent pneumatic compression to increase venous blood flow1 — helping prevent deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in at-risk patients.
A prescription device for clinical settings, the system consists of:
The controller
Tubing sets (provided with the controller)
Single-patient use leg sleeves and foot cuffs (purchased separately).

Patient detection — Facilitates tracking of patient therapy by detecting that the garments are actively worn
∙∙
Animated alerts — Icons show the cause of an error and how it can be resolved
∙∙
Durability — Limited liquid ingress (rating of IP23), robust Xylex™* material, and protected battery
∙∙
Low noise — Soft overmolding with vibration dampeners for a quiet controller
∙∙
Ease of cleaning — Smooth, grooveless surfaces and slim profile; compatible with most hospital-grade cleaning agents
∙∙
Visibility — Graphic user interface featuring large icons on a 3.2-inch color LCD screen

HOW IT WORKS
1. An 11-second default compression cycle is applied to the patient’s leg.
2. The sleeve deflates, holding 6 mmHg of pressure in the middle chamber of the calf.
3. Pressure is held and monitored for up to 60 seconds to allow evaluation of calf girth changes.
4. When calf girth stops increasing for 10 seconds, this signals that leg veins have refilled completely.
5. Vascular refill time is calculated and set; the sleeve deflates.
6. Vascular refill time is reevaluated every 30 minutes to account for patient variables.
