The Kendall SCDâ„¢ 700 Controller SMART COMPRESSIONâ„¢ is the next evolution of IPC.
It applies intermittent pneumatic compression to increase venous blood flow1Â — helping prevent deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in at-risk patients. The Kendall SCDâ„¢ 700 SMART COMPRESSIONâ„¢ Controller delivers compression to the leg, foot, or both. Vascular refill detection (VRD) is unique to the Kendall SCDâ„¢ 700 Compression System SMART COMPRESSIONâ„¢.
Â
SMART features of the Kendall SCDâ„¢ 700 Controller:
Â
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
Â
SMART Patient Compliance
- Displays the patient’s true wear time by nursing shift
- Features Patient Sensingâ„¢ technology, which alerts the nurse of removed sleeves
- Provides a measurement tool to support true compliance to therapy
Â
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 Xylexâ„¢ 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 SCDâ„¢ 700 controller.
