Power Q-1000 Plus Set – XL Leg Pair and M Arm Cuffs

The device offers various cuff types and sizes, sold separately. Choose the cuff suited for the specific area you need to treat. Arm, leg, and trunk cuffs are specially designed for their respective areas. Up to three four-chamber cuffs can be connected at once. The arm cuff is particularly useful for post-mastectomy arm lymphedema. Leg cuffs come in knee-length or thigh-length variants and in various sizes; zipper extensions are available if needed.

Upper Limb Treatment

Lymphedema in the arm is usually unilateral, so a single arm cuff may suffice. Athletes may consider two arm cuffs to treat both arms simultaneously. The arm cuff has a Velcro strap for securing under the opposite armpit.

Arm Cuff

Before purchase, measure your arm circumference at the wrist, forearm, and under the armpit. Arm cuffs are available in M and L sizes.

M–L arm cuff sizes: green line and italic number indicate length in cm; red line and bold number indicate circumference in cm.

Lower Limb Treatment

Measure your lower limb circumference at the ankle, calf, patella, and upper thigh before selecting a cuff. Two types of leg cuffs are available: knee-length and thigh-length. The thigh-length cuffs come in M, L, and XL; extensions are available if needed.

Knee-Length Leg Cuff

This knee-length cuff is designed for post-thrombotic syndrome treatment. It can be used 3–4 months after thrombosis when swelling is limited to the foot or ankle. For swelling above the ankle, a long cuff is required.

Thigh-Length Leg Cuff

This cuff is ideal for leg lymphedema, varicose veins, post-thrombosis, and athlete recovery. It can be purchased as a single cuff or in pairs. Extensions can enlarge sizes if the standard measurements are insufficient. If your lymphedema extends to the thigh, the trunk must also be treated; the cuff is placed like a belt starting at the top of the thigh cuff. It is also suitable for cellulite treatment, though the shorts cuff is more effective.

Trunk, Hip, and Abdomen Treatment

For the upper thigh, hip, buttock, and lower abdomen, choose between shorts-type or belt-type cuffs. These cuffs are necessary when edema extends to the thigh; both leg and trunk need treatment. They are also used for cosmetic treatments such as cellulite and post-cavitation fat removal. The shorts cuff provides a fully circumferential treatment of the thigh, buttock, and lower abdomen. It has three zipper rows for size adjustment and an integrated air port, so no separate hose is needed.

Shorts Cuff

The shorts cuff ensures complete 360° treatment of the upper thigh, buttock, and lower abdomen. It is ideal for thigh–hip lymphedema and aesthetic treatments like cellulite or post-cavitation.

Belt Cuff

The belt cuff fits like a mini skirt, securing with Velcro. It is less effective than the shorts cuff but more affordable. It is suitable for lymphedema and aesthetic treatments. A separate hose must be ordered for the belt cuff. Measure your waist just below the navel and at the hips before selecting a size.

Cuff Combinations

Sometimes combining cuffs is necessary, e.g. treating multiple areas. Combinations are not suitable for heart failure, post-infarction, cardiomyopathy, or uncontrolled hypertension.

Trunk and Leg Cuffs

For lymphatic and lipedema edema and cosmetic treatments like cellulite or post-cavitation. This combination is more affordable but slightly less effective.

Shorts and Leg Cuffs

Optimal for cosmetic treatments (cellulite, post-cavitation) and thigh–hip lymphedema or lipedema.

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

Follow safety precautions carefully. Do not use during acute deep vein thrombosis; external pressure may dislodge clots causing pulmonary embolism. Avoid use with skin infections like erysipelas, as the massage may spread infection.

In case of heart disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, or post-heart attack condition, 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 individualized. Generally, shorter, more frequent treatments (20-30 minutes) are better than infrequent, longer ones. Total daily treatment time must not exceed 120 minutes on the same area.

Expected Effects

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

Pressure Setting Guidelines

Follow doctor or therapist instructions.

General guidelines:

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

Risks of Incorrect Treatment

Use 40-60 mmHg for lymphatic and venous circulation support. Higher pressures can cause micro-injuries and tissue hardening. Aggressive treatment can worsen conditions – avoid high pressure!

In heart disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, or post-infarction state, never exceed 40-50 mmHg and only one cuff at a time to avoid overloading the circulatory system. Avoid direct treatment of active tumors but treating distant areas, such as legs in thyroid cancer patients, is acceptable.
