If you have a good candidate:
- Have your patient fill out the Rental Agreement
- The doctor signs a Prescription
Fax both to 760-744-4401 and ACI Medical will take care of the rest. We work directly with patients for usage, shipping and billing.
Typically patients rent the ArtAssist® device for home use. It is easy to use; there is no need for a clinician to operate the device. Patients need only turn on one switch (all timing and pressures are preset) and the device automatically turns off after therapy is completed.
The recommended therapy is 3 hours a day, broken up into one-hour sessions. In a study published in Archives of Surgery, patients in whom limb salvage was achieved used the ArtAssist® device for longer periods of time (mean time, 2.38 hours a day) compared with those who underwent amputation (mean time, 1.14 hours a day) (p<.05).
Contraindications
- During episodes of superficial phlebitis, cellulitis or osteomyelitis
- When increased venous and lymphatic return is undesirable, such as in patients with severe congestive heart failure
- When deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism exists or is suspected
- Acute ischemia due to arterial blood clots
