Power Q-1000 Plus Set - Arm Treatment Kit – Size L

Accessories can be purchased separately for the device. Various types and sizes of cuffs are available. Choose the cuff suitable for the body part you want to treat.

Arm, leg, and waist cuffs are designed for their respective body parts. Up to three cuffs can be connected to the device, and if health conditions allow, they can be used simultaneously.

The arm cuff is especially suitable for treating arm edema after breast surgery. Leg cuffs come in lengths up to the knee or thigh. Waist cuffs are available as belts or pant-like to treat the upper thigh, hip, and lower abdomen.

Upper limb treatment

Lymphedema in the arm is usually unilateral – one arm cuff is typically sufficient. Athletes may use two arm cuffs to treat both arms simultaneously. Velcro straps secure the cuff under the underarm.

Arm cuff

Before purchasing, measure your arm at the wrist, forearm, and upper arm below the underarm. Choose size M or L.

M–L arm cuff: green line and italic values= length in cm; red line and bold values= circumference in cm.

Lower limb treatment

First, measure ankle, calf, knee, and thigh. Leg cuffs are available in knee-length and thigh-length (M–L–XL). Optionally expandable with zipper inserts.

Half-height leg cuff

Knee-length, specifically for post-thrombotic syndrome treatment (treatment starts only 3–4 months after thrombosis). Used for edema limited to foot or ankle; higher edema requires a longer cuff.

Thigh-length leg cuff

Ideal for lymphedema, lipedema, varicose complaints, post-thrombotic conditions, and muscle regeneration. Can be used singly or paired, expandable.

H=half height; M–L–XL= thigh length; green line and italic values= length in cm; red line and bold values= circumference in cm.

Trunk, buttocks, and abdomen treatment

Pant and belt cuffs are available for the upper thigh, hip, buttocks, and abdomen. These cuffs are needed when lymphedema reaches the thigh. Suitable also for cosmetic treatments like cellulite and cavitation.

Pant cuff

Fully surrounds the thigh, buttocks, and lower abdomen. Features three-row zipper providing a wide size range (small–medium–maximum). Built-in airhose; no additional airhose purchase required.

Belt cuff

Belt-shaped with velcro fastening. Less effective than pant cuff but more affordable. Suitable for lymphedema and cosmetic treatments (cellulite).

P=pant; M–L= belt cuff; green line and italic values= length in cm; red line and bold values= circumference in cm.

Cuff combinations

Sometimes simultaneous use of multiple cuffs is recommended. Contraindicated in heart failure, heart attack, cardiomyopathy, or untreated high blood pressure.

Before starting treatment, set the appropriate pressure and duration. Pressure adjustable between 20 and 300 mmHg, though most treatments require only 40-60 mmHg. Duration adjustable from 0 to 30 minutes; start with 20 minutes for initial treatments.

Airchambers inflate in sequence - legs: ankle-calf-knee-thigh; arms: hand-forearm-elbow-upper arm - for optimal circulation improvement.

Airchambers inflate in sequence.

Safety instructions and contraindications

Strictly follow safety instructions. Do not use during acute deep vein thrombosis; external pressure can dislodge clots causing pulmonary embolism. Avoid if skin infections such as erysipelas are present as massage can spread infection.

In case of heart disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathy or status after heart attack, never exceed 40-60 mmHg and use only one cuff at a time. Cancer patients should consult their oncologist before treatment; avoid direct treatment of active tumors.

Treatment frequency and duration

Frequency and duration should be individualized. Generally, shorter, more frequent sessions (20-30 min) are preferable to rare, longer sessions. Total daily treatment time should not exceed 120 minutes on the same area.

Expected effects

Patience is key - lymphedema cannot be eliminated with a single treatment. Noticeable improvement usually occurs after 5-10 consecutive treatments. Regular use improves blood and lymph circulation, reduces swelling, tension, and pain.

Guidelines for pressure adjustment

Follow the instructions of your doctor or therapist.

General guidelines:

• Low pressure (40-50 mmHg) is sufficient to improve circulation; high pressure may be harmful.
• Begin initial treatments at 40-50 mmHg for 20 minutes.
• Monitor and increase pressure if needed, but do not exceed 60 mmHg.
• Prefer multiple shorter 20-30 min sessions over long sessions up to 120 minutes daily.
• Be patient - evaluate changes after 3-4 treatments; avoid adjusting settings every session.

Risks of incorrect treatment

Use 40-60 mmHg to support lymphatic and venous circulation. Higher pressure can cause microinjuries and tissue hardening. Aggressive treatment may worsen the condition - avoid high pressure!

In cases of heart disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, or status after heart attack, never exceed 40-50 mmHg and use only one cuff at a time to avoid overloading the circulatory system. Do not treat active tumors directly but you may treat areas away from tumors, e.g., legs in thyroid cancer patients.
