Warnings and Precautions:
- Do not over-inflate aircells
- Improper aircell inflation may cause significant skin irritation, especially in people with diabetic neuropathy (a diabetic nerve condition)
- Check your skin frequently for spots and skin irritation
- If you see any skin changes or feelings of discomfort, reduce the aircell compression
- Do not use this device if you cannot feel sensations whether due to post-op anesthesia, nerve, skin or other conditions
- Use caution when walking on slippery or wet surfaces to avoid injury
Adjust Aircell Compression:
- The ELITE walking brace aircells are initially deflated
- Begin inflation on injured side first. Turn the SELECTOR found on the right-side of the brace to the appropriate number. Number 1 inflates the aircell on the right-side, Number 2 inflates the aircell on the left-side and Number 3 inflates the back aircell.
- To inflate aircell, press and release large inflation pump found on the top right-side of brace. Pump until aircell feels snug
- To inflate other aircells, rotate SELECTOR to the appropriate number and then press and release large inflation pump. Pump until aircell feels snug.
- In the event of over-inflation, deflate aircells.
Deflate Aircells:
- To deflate aircells, turn the SELECTOR found on the right-side of the brace to the proper aircell number
- Press and hold finger on the small release button found on the top right-side of brace
- Deflate until pressure is comfortable
