Power Q-1000 Plus Set - Arm Treatment Kit, Size M

Accessories can be purchased separately for the device. Different types and sizes of cuffs are available. Choose the cuff suitable for your desired body part treatment.

Arm, leg, and waist cuffs are designed for respective body areas. Up to three cuffs can be connected to the device and, if health allows, used simultaneously.

The arm cuff is especially suitable for post-mastectomy arm edema treatment. Leg cuffs come in lengths reaching knee or thigh. Waist cuffs are available in belt or pant form for upper thigh, hip, and lower abdomen treatment.

Treatment of Upper Limbs

Compression therapy of the arm usually affects one side – one arm cuff is typically sufficient. Athletes may use two arm cuffs to treat both arms simultaneously. Velcro fasteners secure the cuff under the underarm.

Arm Cuff

Before purchase, measure your arm at wrist, forearm, and upper arm just below the armpit. Choose size M or L.

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

Treatment of Lower Limbs

Measure your ankle, calf, knee, and thigh first. Knee-length and thigh-length cuffs (M–L–XL) are available. Extensions with zippers are possible as needed!

Half-length leg cuff

Knee-length, specifically for treating post-thrombotic syndrome (treatment can start only 3-4 months after thrombosis). Suitable for edema only to foot or ankle; longer cuffs needed for higher edema.

Thigh-length leg cuff

Ideal for lymphoedema, fat edema, varicose complaints, post-thrombotic conditions, and muscle regeneration. Can be used individually or in pairs and extended.

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

Treatment of Waist, Buttocks, and Abdomen

Pant and belt cuffs are available for treatment of upper thigh, hip, buttocks, and abdomen. These cuffs are needed if edema reaches up to the thigh. They are also suitable for cosmetic treatments like cellulite and cavitation.

Pant cuff

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

Belt cuff

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

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

Cuff Combinations

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

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

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

The airchambers inflate sequentially.

Safety Instructions and Contraindications

Carefully observe safety regulations. Do not use if acute deep vein thrombosis is present; external pressure may dislodge clots and cause pulmonary embolism. Avoid use on skin infections such as erysipelas, as massage can spread infection.

For heart disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, or post-infarction, never exceed 40-60 mmHg and use only one cuff at a time. Consult an oncologist before use on cancer patients; avoid direct treatment of active tumors.

Treatment Frequency and Duration

Frequency and duration should be individualized. Shorter, more frequent treatments (20-30 minutes) are generally better than rare long sessions. Total daily treatment time on the same area should not exceed 120 minutes.

Expected Effects

Patience is crucial – compression therapy cannot cure edema in a single session. Noticeable improvements generally occur after 5-10 consecutive treatments. With regular use, blood and lymph circulation improve, swelling, tension, and pain decrease.

Pressure Setting Guidelines

Follow doctor or therapist 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 more frequent 20-30 minute treatments over long sessions up to 120 minutes daily.
• Be patient - evaluate changes after 3-4 treatments; avoid changing settings each session.

Risks of Incorrect Treatment

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

In heart disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, or post-infarction, never exceed 40-50 mmHg and use only one cuff to avoid overloading the circulatory system. Do not treat active tumors directly, but areas away from tumors may be treated, e.g., legs in thyroid cancer patients.
