3. Description
3.1 Outline
The device, being attached to the upper or lower extremities, is electronic pneumatic tourniquet
designed to reduce blooding in a surgical operation. It is composed of 8 single cuffs and 6 double
cuffs being required to select the most appropriate one taking into consideration the operational
duration, patient conditions and where to apply. Wrong selection of cuff may retard the effective
anti-blooding.
The product is designed to freely administer pressure level inside the cuff using digital pressure
sensor, controlling motor pump and solenoid valve, while consistently maintaining a preset pressure
level by monitoring digital pressure sensor even after the set value is reached.
The feature making the desired pressure level maintained all the time during the use, not preventing
from over excessive pressure imposed to cuffs, demonstrates it automatically makes it possible to
the pressure level not changeable during use through self-diagnosing calibration function.
The battery lasting for max. 12 hours with no power source prevents from any accidental impact to
the operation due to sudden electrical interruption.
3.2 Functions
3.2.1 Nomenclature
All switches in the pad are applied by touch sensors, enjoyable for smooth touching in operation with
no need of forcing onto them.
①CH 1 Pressure Control Button is the one inputting pressure value applicable for CH1, which
is described as following Fig. 1;
By moving ▲, ▼ buttons up/down you input your desired
value between 50mmHg~600mmHg depending on patient's
condition and specific demands of the limb. The value below
which SET appears means that the number is the preset
pressure value. If not, the value is the present actual pressure
value existing inside the cuff.
③ CH1 Time Control Button is the one to set time value applicable to CH1 according to Fig. 2 as
follows;
⑥ CH2 Pressure Control Button is the one inputting pressure value applicable for CH2. functional
use is the same to that of CH1 Pressure Control Button.
⑦ CH2 Time Control Button is the one to set time value applicable to CH2. Its functional use is
the same to that of CH1 Time Control Button.
⑧⑨⑩ CH2 Operational Buttons are the ones to make CH2 to INFLATE, CUFF CHANGE and DEFLATE,
where you must press and hold buttons for up to 2 seconds. Their functional uses are the same to
those of CH1 Operational Button.
⑪ Set Value Storage Button To store the set values, press and hold this button for 2 seconds.
⑫ Warn Sound Removal Button It eliminates the warning sounds caused by excessive lead time in
operation or system errors.
⑭ CH1 Air Outlet is to connect cuff connectors(hose) to supply cuffs with pressure gas.
⑮ CH2 Air Outlet is to connect cuff connectors(hose) to supply cuffs with pressure gas.
2) LEAK AIR! : It is displayed when pressure level is not reached to the preset value, though a certain
level of pressure is detectable, which requires the visual inspection on whether cuffs are well
connected with hoses or if there occurs leakage. When the same error message is repeatedly shown under
good connecting of cuffs with hoses, contact your product seller.
3) LOW BATTERY! : It is displayed when battery power is in the low state while the system is not
connected to AC power, requiring immediate connecting the system to the power source. If not, it may
cause shorter lifetime of the system.
4) TIME OVER! : It is flickered in LCD, together with the warning sound, when elapsing the preset
time after anti-blooding function, requiring proper measure following by instruction of a surgeon.
2) When the battery is in short of power voltage, the yellow-colored battery symbol in LED flickers
continuously while generating the 1st warn sound. And when it is outreached to the point of 2~3 minutes
before its complete discharging is made, the system produces the 2nd warn sound. Therefore, when
heard of battery warning sound, the system MUST be plugged in to AC power source in order not to
bring about operational stoppage causing a detrimental impact to your surgical operative field.
Complete discharging in a battery may impede recharging successfully, so keep in mind that the battery
MUST not be discharged in any case including storage.
3) The instrument(DTS-2000W) automatically calibrates the pressure value through digital pressure
sensor when connected to the power for the first time, which has highest accuracy in representation
of values all the time.
4) Connecting Tubing
