Frequently Asked Questions - 04318 VitalMaxx

How to use the VitalMaxx 04318 device?

Install the leg sleeves on your legs, connect the hoses to the control unit (R for right, L for left). Plug in the device, turn it on with the switch (position I for manual mode, II for timer). Set the pressure and duration, then press the inflation button. The massage starts alternating between legs. After the session, press the deflation button or turn off.

What pressure should I set?

The maximum pressure is 120 mmHg. Start at a low level and gradually increase until you feel a comfortable but not painful compression. Never exceed 120 mmHg.

How long does a session last?

A typical session lasts 20 to 30 minutes. You can use the timer up to 60 minutes. For first use, start with 20 minutes.

How to clean the leg sleeves?

Disconnect the hoses. Clean the leg sleeves with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not immerse them. Let air dry. For shared use, disinfect after each use.

Can I use the device if I have health problems?

Consult your doctor before use if you suffer from venous, lymphatic, or heart conditions, or if you are pregnant. Contraindications: heart failure, thrombosis, skin infections, severe hypertension, etc.

The leg sleeves are too tight, what should I do?

If the leg sleeves are too tight without air, use leg sleeve extensions (sold separately). If the zipper opens during treatment, it is normal: it protects against overpressure. Reduce pressure or use extensions.

The device does not start, why?

Check that the plug is connected and the switch is on I or II. If the timer is activated (position II), turn the timer knob to set a duration. Check the fuse (T3.15A) and the mains power.

Can I use only one leg sleeve?

Yes, you can use one leg sleeve. Then plug the unused hose connection on the control unit with the supplied plug.

All the very best with the VENENWALKER® PRC² Yours sincerely,

GlobalMIND!

The illustrations in these instructions may differ slightly from the actual device.

Introduction

Too much sitting, too much standing, the wrong diet: according to consistent estimates, 20 % of all Europeans suffer from venous leg complaints and more than half are affected by advanced vein problems.

This global lifestyle disease starts off harmlessly with a tingling sensation in the legs. The legs then become heavy, swollen and tired, and spider veins and varicose veins begin to appear.

How does a venous disorder occur? Veins collect the used blood in the body's tissue and transport it back to the heart. Leg muscles and venous valves tense up and relax, thus acting like a pump to transport the blood in the veins upwards to the heart. However, if a person stands or sits for a long time, or if excess strain due to surplus weight or genetic predisposition leads to congestion, the blood cannot flow away properly and the venous walls become overstretched. Swollen legs are the result: these can form an oedema due to the fact that liquid and protein pass through the slackened venous wall and into the tissue. A doctor should be consulted as a matter of urgency when such venous congestion becomes a continual complaint.

Special devices for alternating compression of the extremities have proved highly effective and time-saving in treating venous problems, as well as in combating lipoedema.

The VENENWALKER ^® PRC ^2 is such a device. It has been developed in close collaboration with medical specialists (phlebologists) and is easy to handle.

The legs are lightly massaged by the VENENWALKER® PRC² using an inflating and deflating air cushion which simulates the pumping effect of the leg muscles experienced during walking exercises. Venous reflux is improved so that accumulated fluid is mobilised and can be flushed out.

The IPC principle

Intermittent (alternating) compression which is not generated through manual massage but rather by a device, is known in medicine as intermittent pneumatic compression, or IPC. It uses the principle of pneumatic alternating pressures. It is prescribed by doctors for the treatment of venous or lymphatic diseases. When used to prevent thrombosis or for sports injuries, it does not involve the risks found in medication-based treatment.

The IPC simulates the function of the natural muscle pumps found in the human body. Air is pumped with alternating pressure into double-walled leg cuffs for example. The pressure is increased and decreased at defined intervals. It should be possible to adjust the pressure level to suit the user and the pressure must never exceed 120 mmHg. When used for cosmetic purposes, treatment duration and frequency depend on the person's condition; in the case of medical

application, the doctor's recommendation should be followed. The treatment should last for at least 20 minutes, however. Any medical use should, of course, be supervised by a doctor.

The shape and type of cuff used is important. Due to the proven importance of the draining of the vein network in the sole, the cuff should cover both the entire leg and the foot.

The rhythmic increase and decrease in pressure on the tissue leads to water and protein being pumped out of the interstitial tissue.

If the patient has a medical indication, a compression dressing should be applied or a surgical stocking should be worn after using the IPC as the residual protein causes blood serum to flow from the capillaries into the tissue after an IPC treatment session. This measure prevents this flow occurring. Alternatively, it is possible to remain in a lying position so as to prevent this subsequent flow of blood serum. So when using the equipment at home, it makes sense to perform the treatment before bedtime.

Brief description

The VIS ENSTEWALKER® PRC control unit and two

double-walled leg cuffs with three interior chambers which also cover the feet and soles. Optional cuff extensions can be used in order to enlarge the circumference of the cuffs.

The control unit feeds air into the chambers of the leg cuffs via connection tubes. This enables controlled pressure to be applied so as to pump up the cuffs gently and/or massage the legs.

Purpose

Mode of operation

The Works-Based waker®-RRC3 intermittent com-

pression (AIC). Your legs are massaged by the rhythmic, alternating inflation and deflation of the air cushions. The cuffs exert a regularly interrupted pressure from outside on the capillary pump in the calf muscles and feet. This allows venous blood to be pumped towards the heart. Furthermore, water inside the tissue and the metabolic particles dissolved in it can be flushed out and eliminated from the body.

Notices

• Your legs should be horizontal or raised when using the system so as to allow the blood to circulate unhindered.
  • We recommend using the VENENWALKER® PRG² every day for approx. 20 to 30 minutes in the morning and evening.
• Never use the ENENWALKER® PRG ^2 for long periods without interruption since excessive massage can be strenuous. When you use the system for the first time, limit yourself to 20 minutes. If you are comfortable with a period of 20 minutes, you can extend subsequent treatments to approx. 30 minutes.
• In the event of medical indication, apply a compression bandage or compression stocking immediately after using the system or remain lying down

for a while in order to prevent blood serum from subsequently flowing from the capillaries into the tissue as far as possible.

• To make it easier to put on compression stockings, it can be easier to use the VENENWALKER® PRC ^2 beforehand.
• In the event of overload, the zips on the cuffs open so as to prevent a blockade of the arteries.
• If the circumference of your thighs is greater than approx. 70 cm or that of your lower leg is greater than approx. 40 cm, you will require cuff extensions. These are available at www.venenwalker.com.

A) Setting up the control unit

1. Choose a place where you can sit comfortably while putting up and stretching your legs, e.g. on a sofa, bed or armchair with a footrest.
2. In order to be able to operate the control unit sitting down, place it next to you on a side table or chair.
3. Insert the mains plug of the control unit into an easily accessible socket. If there isn't one nearby, use an extension cable.

B) Applying cuff extensions

A cuff extension is 10 cm wide at the widest point (thigh). If this is not enough, you can connect several cuff extensions to one another.

Tip for putting on the cuffs

If the cuffs are already tight around your legs before they are pumped up be sure to use cuff extensions. Otherwise the cuffs and zips might be damaged. Several cuff extensions can be used at the same time in order to achieve the necessary circumference. For details, read Section B) of this chapter: "Applying cuff extensions".

If you find it difficult or impossible to hold the zip slider we recommend attaching a (key) ring (see picture).

If you cannot lean forward enough to close the cuffs, try the following:

• Ask a second person to help. Since the cuffs can be fully opened and unfolded, a second person can easily position them under your legs and close the zips.
• Before applying the cuffs, close the zips up to approx. the middle of the cuffs (or as far as necessary). Then sit down, slip into the cuffs and close the zips completely.

D) Switching on the control unit to start massaging

The VrstageWALKER®PNCated after approx.

20 – 30 minutes. You can either switch off the control unit manually or activate the time function prior to switching on. In the latter case, the control unit switches off automatically after the set period of time.

We recommend using the timer function. This means you do not have to watch the time and can relax completely during the treatment.

1a. Switching on WITHOUT timer:

Press the main switch to position I – the green operating lamp goes on.

1b. Switching on WITH timer:

Press the main switch to position II – the blue timer lamp goes on.

Use the rotary knob of the timer to set the required period (between 0 and 60 minutes).

1. Turn the pressure regulator clockwise to the highest level so that the pumping process does not last longer than 10 minutes.
2. Press the 🍒 button to pump up the cuffs. The control unit begins to fill the cuffs alternately with air. The legs are then massaged by the inflating and deflating air cushions.

Please note that the cuffs are not activated simultaneously but consecutively. The pressure is built up in one cuff first and then in the other.

1. Stretch your legs and take up a comfortable position.

In order to ensure the blood can circulate unhindered, it is essential to ensure that the leg in the cuff is stretched out during treatment!

1. If the pressure exerted on your legs is too powerful or unpleasant, simply turn down the pressure regulator until the pressure is reduced. The ideal pressure on your legs should be powerful but not unpleasant.

It is natural for your legs to sweat in the cuffs. This is not a cause for concern: in fact it is an intended effect which stimulates metabolism in the legs.

E) Finishing the treatment

Cleaning, care and storage

PLEASE NOTE!

Before cleaning, always remove the connection tubes from the cuffs and the control unit.
- Do not use any caustic or abrasive cleaning agents for cleaning. This might damage the surfaces.
It is imperative to ensure that no moisture enters the tube connectors on the cuffs and the control unit.
■ Always remove the mains plug from the socket before cleaning the control unit.
- Allow all parts to dry completely before they are stored away. Allow to dry in the air only or wipe with a cloth. Never use a hair drier or similar for drying purposes!

1. Clean the cuffs with a clean, damp cloth and if necessary a mild household cleaning agent.
2. If the cuffs are used directly against the skin by more than one person, they should be cleaned using a commonly available disinfectant after use so as to avoid cross-contamination.
3. The control unit and connection tubes should only be wiped with a clean, damp cloth if necessary. You can also use a mild household cleaning agent.
4. Allow all parts to dry in the air after cleaning or use a cloth.
5. Store the VENEN WALKER® PRG ^2 in the storage bag if you will not be using it for a lengthier period of time. Keep the storage bag in a cool, dry place which is protected from direct sunlight and frost; it must be kept out of reach of children and animals.
   Do not place anything on top of the storage bag so that it doesn't get crushed and the VENENWALKER® PRC ^2 is not damaged!

After frequent use, the connection tubes may widen at the ends and no longer fi t tightly. In this case we recommend cutting off the ends.

Troubleshooting

If the system stops working properly, check whether you are able to correct the problem yourself based on the tips below. If this is not possible, contact the customer service department.

Do not attempt to repair a defective electrical device yourself!

Push the ends of the connection tubes onto the tube connectors of the cuffs and control unit as far as they will go.Check to see if the ends of the connection tubes are firmly attached to the tube connectors or whether they have widened. If they have widened, cut off the widened ends.
	The pump is not activated.	Press the button to pump up the cuffs. Set the pressure regulator to the highest level.
	The air input is obstructed.	Make sure the connection tubes and cuffs are not bent or twisted.
