About the Flowtron
ACS900 System
ACS900 system.
You must read and fully understand this manual before
using the system.
Use this manual to initially set up the system, and keep
it as a reference for day-to-day routines and as a guide
to maintenance.
If you have any difficulties in setting-up or using the
Flowtron ACS900 system, contact your local Arjo sales
office, listed at the end of this manual.
The intended use of this product is to help prevent
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). The garments are single
patient use - do not re-use. It is not for use
in the home healthcare environment.
The Flowtron ACS900 system should be used as part
of a prescribed plan of care (refer to "Indications" on
page 5).
The application of external pneumatic compression
has two effects:
• Augments venous blood flow velocity, thereby
reducing stasis.
• Enhances fibrinolytic activity to reduce the risk of
early clot formation.
The system is comprised of a pump that can be used in
conjunction with an extensive range of Arjo inflatable
uniform, sequential (Tri Pulse) and foot garments.
Refer to "Accessories" on page 32 for a complete list of
the calf, calf & thigh and foot garments which can be
used with the Flowtron ACS900 pump.
The pump automatically adjusts to the correct therapy
profile depending upon which garment type is
connected.
The tubeset is integral to the system and cannot be
disconnected from the pump.
The mains power supply is the primary power source
for the pump. The pump incorporates an internal
battery, which is a secondary power source to back up
the pump in the event of failure of or disconnection from
(accidental or deliberate) the mains power supply.
The Flowtron ACS900 system is intended for use
ONLY in professional healthcare facilities. It is not
intended for use in the home healthcare
environment (for example private dwellings).
