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 area to be treated.

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 permits, used simultaneously.

The arm cuff is particularly suitable for post-mastectomy arm edema treatment. Leg cuffs are available in knee or thigh length (M–L–XL sizes). They can be expanded with a zipper extension if needed. Waist cuffs are available as belts or pant forms for treating the upper thigh, hips, and lower abdomen.

Upper limb treatment

Lymphoedema on the arm is usually unilateral – generally, one arm cuff suffices. Athletes may use two arm cuffs to treat both arms simultaneously. Velcro straps secure the cuff under the underarm.

Arm cuff

Before purchase, measure your arm at the wrist, forearm, and underarm parts of the upper arm. Choose size M or L.

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

Lower limb treatment

First measure ankle, calf, knee, and thigh. Knee and thigh length cuffs (M–L–XL) are available. They can be expanded with zipper extensions!

Half-length leg cuff

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

Thigh-length leg cuff

Ideal for lymphoedema, lipedema, varicose complaints, post-thrombotic conditions, and muscle regeneration. Can be used individually or as a pair, expandable.

H=half length; M–L–XL=thigh length; green line and italicized value=length in cm; red line and bold value=circumference in cm.

Trunk, buttocks and abdomen treatment

For upper thigh, hips, buttocks, and abdomen, pant and waist cuffs are available. These cuffs are needed if lymphoedema extends to the thigh. Suitable also for cosmetic applications such as cellulite and cavitation.

Pant cuff

Fully surrounds the thigh, buttocks, and lower abdomen. Offers a wide size range (small-medium-max) with a 3-row zipper. Built-in airhose; no additional hose purchase needed.

Waist cuff

Belt-shaped with Velcro fastener. Less effective than pant cuff but cheaper. Suitable for lymphoedema and aesthetic treatments (cellulite).

P=pant; M–L=waist cuff; green line and italicized value=length in cm; red line and bold value=circumference in cm.

Cuff combinations

Sometimes it is advisable to use multiple cuffs simultaneously. Contraindicated in heart failure, myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, or untreated hypertension.

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

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

The airchambers inflate sequentially.

Safety instructions and contraindications

Observe safety instructions carefully. Do not use with acute deep vein thrombosis; external pressure may dislodge clots causing pulmonary embolism. Avoid use with skin infections like erysipelas as massage can spread infection.

In heart disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, or post-myocardial infarction, never exceed 40-60 mmHg and use only one cuff at a time. Cancer patients should consult their oncologist before treatment; avoid direct treatment over active tumors.

Treatment frequency and duration

Frequency and duration should be personalized. Generally, shorter, more frequent treatments (20-30 minutes) are preferred over infrequent, longer ones. Total daily treatment time on the same area should not exceed 120 minutes.

Expected effects

Patience is key - lymphoedema cannot be resolved in a single treatment. Noticeable improvement usually appears after 5-10 consecutive sessions. With regular use, blood and lymph circulation improves, swelling, tension, and pain decrease.

Pressure setting guidelines

Follow doctor or therapist’s instructions.

General guidelines:

• Low pressure (40-50 mmHg) is sufficient for circulation improvement; high pressure may be harmful.
• Start initial treatments at 40-50 mmHg for 20 minutes.
• Monitor and increase pressure if needed but do not exceed 60 mmHg.
• Prefer multiple 20-30 minute sessions rather than one long session up to 120 mins daily.
• Be patient - evaluate after 3-4 sessions; avoid adjusting settings every session.

Risks of incorrect treatment

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

In heart disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, or post-infarction states, never exceed 40-50 mmHg and use only one cuff to avoid overloading the circulation. Do not directly treat active tumors but treatment distant from tumors, such as legs in thyroid cancer patients, is safe.
