The Plexus RP100 Portable DVT Prevention Therapy Device is a single-patient, portable, rechargeable, battery-powered, electronic device designed to stimulate blood flow and increase venous flow velocity by providing a defined pattern of intermittent pressure. The device consists of a hard-plastic outer casing (containing the electronics and pump unit) attached to a soft pressure garment sleeve with an internal air bladder. The Plexus RP100 has one therapy mode that provides a preset pattern of intermittent pressure to the lower leg. To use the device, the patient wraps the pressure garment around his/her calf tightly. When the device is turned on, air flows from the air pump into the air bladder inside the pressure sleeve, providing intermittent pneumatic pressure.
A non-sterile, inflatable device in the form of a stocking, sleeve, or suit intended to be applied to the limbs externally to promote venous blood flow. As part of a compression system, the device applies pressure to the extremities through the sequential inflation of several chambers. The resulting increased venous blood flow may help to treat/prevent oedema, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) in non-ambulatory patients or patients at risk. This is a single-use device.
