We Take DVT Very Seriously
Your physician or surgery center has prescribed you an industry leading devices that is designed to help prevent a deep vein thrombosis after your surgery. DVT affects over 2 million Americans each year and more Americans die from DVT than breast cancer, AIDS and traffic fatalities – combined. It’s coined the Silent killer.
DVT is a blood clot that
forms in a vein in the body
Most deep vein blood clots occur in the lower leg or thigh. They also can occur in other parts of the body. A blood clot in a deep vein can break off and travel through the bloodstream. The loose clot is called an embolus (EM-bo-lus). It can travel to an artery in the lungs and block blood flow. This condition is called pulmonary embolism (PULL-mun-ary Em-bo-lizm), or PE. PE is a very serious condition. It can damage the lungs and other organs in the body and cause death.

Take home DVT prevention Device instructions:
The Circul8 device helps to increase circulation during periods of inactivity following your
surgery to prevent DVT(Deep vein thrombosis), commonly known as a blood clot. It is
recommended that you use the device whenever you are off your feet during your recovery
period including when you are sleeping at night. This device is yours to keep. Provided
your physician feels you are a good candidate for ongoing use, this device can be great for
anything that would involve you to be non-ambulatory for an extended period of time, such
as long road or air trips.
Each wrap is universal and can be worn on the right or left leg. It is important to use both
wraps, even if you had surgery on just one leg. Attach the wrap to your leg below the knee
with the inflation bladder on the back. When the wrap inflates, you should feel the pressure
on your calf muscle (back of lower leg). Once the wraps are in place, push and hold the red
power button to begin therapy. There are three gauges on the device. The digital gauges next
to the power button are the pressure indicator (shows how much pressure the device is
currently exerting) and the compliance module (shows how many hours the device has been
in use).
The device will stay charged for approximately 8-10 hours. When the unit needs to be
charged, plug both devices into the charging port that is in your box. The four dots above the
power button is the battery indicator. When all four dots are illuminated, the device is at
100% battery.
Check the screens next to the power button. This will show either an E1 or E2 error code. If
the code reads E2, this is the low battery alarm. Please recharge the device with included
charging cable. If the code reads E1, please turn the device off, tighten or loosen the wrap
around your lower leg and try again. If it continues to read E1, please call Precision Medical
Products at 888-963-6265 for assistance.
Your insurance provider is required to send you an EOB for every claim filed. It is important
to remember that this is NOT a bill. You are not responsible for any amount on the EOB, and
this does not reflect the amount paid. If you receive a separate $98 statement from Precision
Medical, this is required by your provider for us to send. If you have questions
about the EOB or statement please call our Customer Service Representative.
