1. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing The REX Combo Pneumatic Compression System (Models: DVTREX-L or DVTREX-U) and garments.

The durable, high quality material used in the manufacturing of these products will ensure that you experience long-lasting and uninterrupted performance.

The REX Recovery Exercise X-trainer has a pump and dual lower extremity garments with air cells. The patient puts the garments on and the pump inflates the air cells to compress muscles to temporarily relieve minor muscle aches and/or pains, and to temporarily increase circulation to the treated areas.

Should any problems occur, please contact the dealer where your REX System was purchased or call Tech Support at 800-376-7263. Copyright 2023, Rev B.

3. BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNINGS:

  • Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics

  • Unless otherwise ordered by our physician pressure should not be set any higher than 120mmH.
    High pressure should be set with caution on patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease.

  • Caution must be raised for patients with insensitive, irritated, sunburned, bruised or broken skin, or with skin conditions such as skin cancer, dermatitis, eczema, or psoriasis in or around treatment sites. Should changes in skin appearance occur such as blisters, redness, discoloration, welts, or other noticeable changes in the skin, or if burning, itching, increased swelling should occur, discontinue use and consult with a physician.

  • Slip and fall hazard. Do not stand or walk while wearing garments.

  • Discontinue use immediately in the event of increased pain, numbness or tingling and contact a physician.

When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed.

DANGER – This Product contains electronic components.

WARNING – To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock or injury to persons:

  • In the event of a power failure, disconnect the garment from the pump to release any residual air and pressure in the garment.
  • Use this product only for its intended use as described in this manual.
  • Do not use if damaged or defective – if device has a damaged electrical cord or plug, has been dropped or damaged in any manner, dropped into water, or if the product shows any signs of deterioration.
  • Do not place near a heat source or water.
  • Do not carry this device by the power cord or use the cord as a handle.
  • Keep this device out of reach of children or pets.
  • Do not take the pump, garment or tubing apart.
  • Use only accessories that are recommended by Compass Health Brands Corp.
  • Never use pins or other metallic fasteners with this product.
  • Do not operate on a soft surface such as a pillow or mattress, or under a blanket or other covering.
  • Do not use where aerosols (spray) are being used or where oxygen is being administered.
  • Read the entire instruction manual before operating this device.

WARNING
If equipment no longer works or is damaged and needs to be disposed of, please comply with your local disposal laws for electronic equipment.

WARNING

DO NOT try to service or maintain the device while in use.

10. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

10.1 Exterior Pump Case Cleaning Instructions: Clean the exterior case and tubing with a damp (not wet) cloth using mild soap and water solution once per month or as needed.

WARNING!
DO NOT allow liquids to enter the pump, as this can present an electrical hazard.
Only an authorized technician may open the pump.
Before cleaning, unplug power cord from electrical outlet.

WARNING!
ALWAYS allow the pump to dry before using.
DO NOT use bleach on the pump.

10.2 GARMENT CLEANING/DISINFECTING INSTRUCTIONS: Disconnect garment from device. Open garment to expose all sides either by separating hook and loop closure or by unzipping (depending on type of garment).

10.3 Cleaning solution should consist of 10mL of laundry detergent per 5L of warm tap water. Use either a large sink or plastic tub able to hold enough solution (depending on size and quantity of garments) to completely submerge the garment leaving the latch connector bars out of the water.
10.4 Garment should be soaked for 5-10 minutes.
10.5 Thoroughly rinse garment with warm tap water and allow to air dry.

WARNING!
Never allow the Latch Connectors to be submerged into water. If water enters the inside of the garment, damage may occur to the device.

10.6 Hard to remove soil on surface of garment may require additional washing by hand with a clean towel while submerged. Avoid using any abrasive materials such as scrubbing pads or chemicals that could cause damage to the exterior surface of garment.

WARNING! DO NOT place garment in washing machine.

WARNING! DO NOT use the tubing or valves as “handles” for carrying, handing or storing garment.

11. PACKAGING, SHIPPING & STORAGE

The Device is shipped in a specially designed corrugated, reusable carton with protective end-caps that envelope each end of the pump, thereby suspending the pump on all four sides within the carton. This packaging design prevents damage to the pump when the carton is handled roughly by the carriers.

The Device should be stored in a clean, dry area between 15 to 25°C (59 to 77°F). However, short-term exposure to temperatures -20 °C to +44°C (-4 to 111°F) will not harm the unit. To maximize the pump’s life, time should be allowed for the pump to adjust to room temperature prior to use when it has been exposed to extreme temperatures

PUMP ENCLOSURE
The pump enclosure is constructed of ABS/PA-765.
UL FLAME RATING: V-0.

ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIFICATIONS
For transport and storage:
Ambient temperature: -20°C – +55°C (-4°F to +131°F)
Relative humidity: 10% -90%RH
