Cardinal Health Kendall SCD 700 Smart Compression Controller

How does SCD 700 Sequential Compression System works?

• An 11-second default compression cycle is applied to the patient’s leg.
• The sleeve deflates, holding 6 mmHg of pressure in the middle chamber of the calf.
• Pressure is held and monitored for up to 60 seconds to allow evaluation of calf girth changes.
• When calf girth stops increasing for 10 seconds, this signals that leg veins have refilled completely.
• Vascular refill time is calculated and set; the sleeve deflates.
• Vascular refill time is reevaluated every 30 minutes to account for patient variables.

• Pulmonary embolism prophylaxis
• The system with foot cuffs is indicated for:
