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

Accessories can be purchased separately for the device. Various types and sizes of cuffs are available. Select the cuff appropriate for the body part to be treated.

Arm, leg, and waist cuffs are designed for their respective body parts. The device can connect up to three cuffs and—health permitting—can be used simultaneously.

The arm cuff is especially suitable for post-breast surgery arm swelling treatment. Leg cuffs are available in knee or thigh length. Waist cuffs are available in pant or belt form to treat the upper thigh, hip, and lower abdomen.

Upper Limb Treatment

Lymphedema of the arm generally occurs unilaterally – one arm cuff is usually enough. Athletes may use two arm cuffs to treat both arms simultaneously. Velcro fasteners secure the cuff under the underarm.

Arm Cuff

Measure your arm before purchase at the wrist, forearm, and underarm of the upper arm. 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 the ankle, calf, knee, and thigh. Knee and thigh length cuffs (M–L–XL) are available. They can be extended with zippered extensions if needed!

Half-length leg cuff

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

Thigh-length leg cuff

Ideal for lymphedema, lipedema, varicose complaints, post-thrombotic conditions, and muscle regeneration. Can be used individually or in pairs and is extendable.

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

Waist, Hip, and Abdomen Treatment

Pant and belt cuffs are available to treat the upper thigh, hip, buttocks, and abdomen. These cuffs are needed if lymphedema extends to the thigh. They can also be used for cosmetic purposes such as cellulite and cavitation treatments.

Pant Cuff

Fully surrounds the thigh, buttocks, and lower abdomen. Equipped with a three-row zipper offering a wide size range (small–medium–maximum). Built-in airhose included, no additional airhose purchase needed.

Belt Cuff

Belt-shaped with Velcro fastener. Less effective than the pant cuff but cheaper. Suitable for lymphedema and aesthetic 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 advisable. Contraindicated in heart failure, infarction, cardiomyopathy, or untreated high blood pressure.

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

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

Airchambers inflate sequentially.

Safety Instructions and Contraindications

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

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

Treatment Frequency and Duration

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

Expected Effects

Patience is essential – lymphedema cannot be eliminated in a single session. Noticeable improvements typically appear after 5-10 consecutive treatments. With regular use, blood and lymph circulation improves, swelling, tension, and pain reduce.

Pressure Adjustment Guidelines

Follow your doctor or therapist's instructions.

General Guidelines:

• Low pressure (40-50 mmHg) is sufficient to improve circulation; high pressure can 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 minutes daily.
• Be patient - assess changes after 3-4 treatments; avoid modifying settings every session.

Risks of Incorrect Treatment

For lymphatic and venous circulation support, use 40-60 mmHg. Higher pressure can cause micro-injuries and tissue hardening. Aggressive treatment may worsen conditions—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 safely treat areas distant from tumors, e.g., legs in thyroid cancer patients.
