## Indications for use
The Kendall SCD 700 Sequential Compression System (hereby referenced as "Kendall SC!) 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 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. Trhe use of the Kendall SCD 700 Series Compression System with Leg Sleeves is indicated for: * Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism prophylaxis. The use of the Kendall SCD 700 Series Compression System with Foot Cuffs is indicated (or: * Circulation enhancement. * Deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis. * Edema - Acute. * Edema - Chronic. * Extremity pain incident to trauma or surgery. * Leg Ulcers. * Venous stasis!/ venous insufficiency..
