Frequently asked questions
Which Flowtron IPC systems are compatible?
The ArjoHuntleigh Flowtron Calf Garments are designed for broad compatibility with key Flowtron Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC) systems used for DVT prevention. They work with the following pumps:
- Flowtron AC800 IPC System
- Flowtron Universal Pump (#AC600)
- Flowtron Excel Pump (#AC550) (Note: This pump supports variable pressure settings)
- Flowtron ACS800 Pump
- Flowtron ACS900 Pump
Additionally, when paired with the Flowtron Universal and ACS800 Pumps, these garments utilize auto garment recognition technology, which simplifies setup and ensures optimized therapy delivery.
What sizes are available for these calf garments?
The ArjoHuntleigh Flowtron Calf Garments come in two primary size options designed to accommodate different patient needs:
- Standard: Fits calf circumferences up to 17 inches.
- Large: Fits calf circumferences up to 23 inches.
These options ensure a comfortable and secure fit for various patients in professional clinical settings. Please ensure you select the appropriate size based on the patient’s measurements to maintain the effectiveness of the DVT prevention therapy.
Are these calf garments single-patient use?
Yes, the ArjoHuntleigh Flowtron Calf Garments are strictly designated for single-patient use only.
This restriction is critical for maintaining high hygiene standards and ensuring optimal clinical effectiveness for Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) prevention, which is delivered through this non-invasive compression therapy.
Where can the Flowtron Calf Garment be safely used?
The ArjoHuntleigh Flowtron Calf Garment is designed exclusively for use in professional medical settings. It is highly effective for various applications, including:
- Major surgeries: Orthopedic, trauma, urological, and general surgery.
- Diverse patient groups: Neurology, critical care, general medical, and obstetrics.
Please note: This product is not available for home care use.
What pressure and cycle time are used for DVT prevention?
The Flowtron Calf Garment provides effective Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) prevention through a precise and controlled uniform intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) cycle.
This specific fixed cycle is designed to increase blood velocity in deep veins, helping to reduce venous stasis and stimulate fibrinolysis (the body’s natural clot-breaking mechanism).
The key specifications for the therapy delivery are:
- Compression Pressure: 40 mmHg
- Inflation Cycle Time: 12 seconds
- Deflation Cycle Time: 48 seconds
Does the calf garment use comfortable, breathable material?
Yes, the ArjoHuntleigh Flowtron Calf Garment is specifically engineered for patient comfort and high compliance.
- It is constructed from a lightweight, breathable polyfoam material.
- This design prevents excessive heat and moisture build-up, ensuring the garment is well tolerated by patients during continuous use for DVT prevention.
How does the calf garment prevent DVT?
The ArjoHuntleigh Flowtron Calf Garment prevents Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) using Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC), a clinically effective and non-invasive therapy. This mechanism is designed to reduce venous stasis and stimulate the body’s natural clot-breaking mechanisms (fibrinolysis) by significantly increasing blood velocity in the deep veins.
The therapy is delivered with precise specifications:
- Compression Pressure: 40 mmHg
- Cycle Time: 12 seconds inflation followed by 48 seconds deflation.
To ensure patient compliance, the garment is constructed from lightweight, breathable polyfoam material that prevents heat and moisture build-up.
How many calf garments are in a case?
The ArjoHuntleigh Flowtron Calf Garments are packaged in bulk for use in professional healthcare settings.
- Quantity per Case: Each case contains 10 pairs of calf garments.
- Total Items: This equates to 20 individual garments.
- Usage: These garments are designed for single patient use as part of DVT prophylaxis, ensuring clinical hygiene and compliance.
Is the calf garment easy to fit?
Yes, the Flowtron Calf Garment is designed specifically for simple and secure application in professional medical settings, prioritizing ease of use for staff and compliance for the patient.
Key features that ensure easy and accurate fitting include:
- Secure Fastening: The garment uses a durable five-finger hook and loop fastening system for quick, safe attachment and easy adjustment.
- Easy Identification: The design makes the garments easily identifiable, aiding staff in visual confirmation of proper fitting and treatment compliance.
- Automatic Recognition: When paired with Flowtron Universal or ACS800 Pumps, the system provides auto garment recognition, streamlining the setup process for seamless therapy initiation.
- Comfort: The lightweight, breathable polyfoam material aids in patient comfort and prevents heat build-up, supporting high compliance rates.
Do these calf garments feature automatic pump recognition?
Yes, the ArjoHuntleigh Flowtron Calf Garments feature auto garment recognition for enhanced ease of use and compliance. This means they are automatically recognized by specific Flowtron pumps, ensuring correct DVT therapy is delivered.
This feature is compatible with the Flowtron Universal Pump and Flowtron ACS800 Pump.
