Power Q-1000 Plus Set - M Leg Cuffs and L Arm Cuffs

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

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

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

Upper Limb Treatment

Lymphoedema on the arm is usually unilateral – one arm cuff is usually sufficient. Athletes can use two arm cuffs to treat both arms simultaneously. Velcro fastens the cuff under the underarm.

Arm Cuff

Before purchase, measure your arm at the wrist, forearm, and upper arm under the underarm. 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 the ankle, calf, knee, and thigh. Knee-length and thigh-length cuffs (M–L–XL) are available. Expandable with zippers if necessary!

Half-length Leg Cuff

Knee-length, especially for post-thrombotic syndrome treatment (treatment only starts 3–4 months after thrombosis). Only suitable for edema up to foot or ankle; longer cuff needed for higher edema.

Thigh-length Leg Cuff

Ideal for lymphoedema, lipedema, varicose vein complaints, post-thrombotic conditions, and muscle regeneration. Can be used individually or in pairs; 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.

Waist, Hip, and Abdomen Treatment

Pant and belt cuffs can be chosen for the upper thigh, hip, buttocks, and abdomen. These are necessary if lymphoedema extends to the thigh. Suitable also for cosmetic treatments like cellulite and cavitation.

Pant Cuff

Fully surrounds thigh, buttocks, and lower abdomen. Features a triple-row zipper offering a wide size range (small–medium–maximum). Built-in airhose; no need to purchase extra airhose.

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 italicized value = length in cm; red line and bold value = circumference in cm.

Cuff Combinations

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

Before starting treatment, set the appropriate pressure and duration. Pressure is adjustable between 20 and 300 mmHg, though most treatments only require 40-60 mmHg. Set time 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 - for optimal circulation improvement.

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 might spread infection.

In case of heart disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, or post-heart attack state, never exceed 40-60 mmHg pressure and use only one cuff at a time. Consult oncologist before use in cancer patients; avoid direct treatment on active tumors.

Treatment Frequency and Duration

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

Expected Effects

Patience is key - lymphoedema cannot be eliminated in a single session. Noticeable improvement usually appears after 5-10 consecutive treatments. Regular use improves blood and lymph circulation, reduces swelling, tension, and pain.

Pressure Adjustment Guidelines

Follow doctor's or therapist's instructions.

General guidelines:

• Low pressure (40-50 mmHg) suffices to improve circulation; high pressure may be harmful.
• Start initial treatments at 40-50 mmHg for 20 minutes.
• Monitor and increase pressure as needed, but do not exceed 60 mmHg.
• Prefer multiple 20-30 minute treatments rather than one long 120-minute session.
• Be patient - evaluate changes after 3-4 sessions; avoid changing settings every session.

Risks of Incorrect Treatment

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

In heart disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathy or post-infarction state, never exceed 40-50 mmHg and use only one cuff to avoid circulatory overload. Do not treat active tumors directly but it is safe to treat areas away from tumors, e.g., legs in thyroid cancer patients.
