The Kendall SCD™ 700 Controller SMART COMPRESSION™ is the next evolution of IPC.

It applies intermittent pneumatic compression to increase venous blood flow¹ — helping prevent deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in at-risk patients. The Kendall SCD™ 700 SMART COMPRESSION™ Controller delivers compression to the leg, foot, or both. Vascular refill detection (VRD) is unique to the Kendall SCD™ 700 Compression System SMART COMPRESSION™.

 

SMART features of the Kendall SCD™ 700 Controller:

 

SMART Compression Cycles

• Measure venous refill time using Vascular Refill Detection (VRD) technology and customize compression cycles automatically for each patient
• Move 1.5x more blood per hour
• Adjust accordingly when a patient’s needs change over time

 

SMART Patient Compliance

• Displays the patient’s true wear time by nursing shift
• Features Patient Sensing™ technology, which alerts the nurse of removed sleeves
• Provides a measurement tool to support true compliance to therapy

 

More features of the controller:

• Animated alerts — Icons show the cause of an error and how it can be resolved
• Visibility — Graphic user interface featuring large icons on a 3.2-inch color LCD screen
• Durability — Limited liquid ingress (rating of IP23), robust Xylex™ material, and protected battery
• Low noise — Soft overmolding with vibration dampeners for a quiet controller
• Ease of cleaning — Smooth, grooveless surfaces and slim profile; compatible with most hospital-grade cleaning agents
• Tubing assembly is provided for use with the Kendall SCD™ 700 controller.
