Indications
The Kendall SCD™ 700 Sequential Compression System (hereby referenced as
"Kendall SCD™ 700 Series") is designed to apply intermittent pneumatic compression
to increase venous blood flow in at-risk patients in order to help prevent deep
vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The Kendall SCD™ 700 Series is a
prescription device for use in a clinical setting or in the home. The System consists
of the controller, the tubing sets (provided with the controller) and single-patient
use garments (purchased separately from this controller). The garments, both leg
sleeves and foot cuffs, compress the limbs to enhance venous blood movement. After
the compression cycle has reached set pressure, the Controller measures the time it
takes for the limbs to refill with blood and waits that period of time before the next
compression is initiated.
