• As a prophylaxis for DVT by persons expecting to be stationary for long
periods of time.
• Reduction of edema associated with soft tissue injuries, such as burns,
postoperative or post-immobilization edema, or ligament sprains.
During use, the system also monitors patient orientation and movement. It allows
healthcare providers and users to implement individualized patient management
plans for DVT prophylaxis and mobility protocols by utilizing data accumulated by
the patient on the previous day as a benchmark. The data displayed on the device
allows providers to monitor the patient’s orientation, and activity, which can be
used to identify risk factors for hospital-acquired events linked to immobility such
as: deep vein thrombosis, pressure ulcers, and pneumonia.
The device can be used in the home or clinical setting. The device is intended for
use in an adult patient population.
