Warning and Precautions
• The VenaFlow Elite cuffs are designed for single patient use only.
• Risk of explosion if used in the presence of flammable
anaesthetics.
• The equipment or system should not be used adjacent to or
stacked with other equipment and, if adjacent or stacked use is
necessary, the equipment or system should be observed to
verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be
used.
• Medical Electrical Equipment needs special precautions
regarding EMC. Portable and Mobile RF Communications
Equipment can be affected by other Medical Electrical Devices.
• Cuffs used in combination with warming devices may cause
skin irritation. Regularly check for patient comfort, compliance
and skin irritation.
• Special attention should be given to those patients with
neuropathies or tissue viability problems (i.e. diabetes, arterial
or venous insufficiencies).
• To prevent extremity compartment syndrome, special attention
should be given to patients who are positioned in the supine
lithotomy position for extended lengths of time. This includes
patients with or without compression cuffs.
• If you experience pain, swelling, sensation changes or any
unusual reactions while using this device, consult your medical
professional immediately.
