The Kendall SCD 700 Controller SMART COMPRESSION is the next evolution of IPC.
It applies intermittent pneumatic compression to increase venous blood flow1 — helping prevent deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in at-risk patients. The Kendall SCD 700 SMART COMPRESSION Controller delivers compression to the leg, foot, or both. Vascular refill detection (VRD) is unique to the Kendall SCD 700 Compression System SMART COMPRESSION.
SMART features of the Kendall SCD 700 Controller:
SMART Compression Cycles
- Measure venous refill time using Vascular Refill Detection (VRD) technology and customize compression cycles automatically for each patient
- Move 1.5x more blood per hour
- Adjust accordingly when a patient’s needs change over time
SMART Patient Compliance
- Displays the patient’s true wear time by nursing shift
- Features Patient Sensing technology, which alerts the nurse of removed sleeves
- Provides a measurement tool to support true compliance to therapy
More features of the controller:
- Animated alerts — Icons show the cause of an error and how it can be resolved
- Visibility — Graphic user interface featuring large icons on a 3.2-inch color LCD screen
- Durability — Limited liquid ingress (rating of IP23), robust Xylex material, and protected battery
- Low noise — Soft overmolding with vibration dampeners for a quiet controller
- Ease of cleaning — Smooth, grooveless surfaces and slim profile; compatible with most hospital-grade cleaning agents
- Tubing assembly is provided for use with the Kendall SCD 700 controller.
