Who Uses the Kendall SCD 700 Series Compression Therapy Pump? Individuals who are at risk for deep vein thrombosis (DVT), venous thromboembolism (VTE), and pulmonary embolism (PE) in both home care and professional medical settings.
Why They Love It: This controller monitors the time it takes for each individual's limbs to refill after the compression cycle finishes and adjusts accordingly for maximum benefit. It includes smart technology that encourages compliance and helps to improve treatment outcomes. Sensing technology alerts staff or caregivers when a sleeve has been removed, and a Compliance Meter tracks therapy time by the day, shift, or hospital stay.
SCD 700 Compression Pump Overview
The Kendall SCD 700 Series Compression Therapy Pump applies pneumatic compression to increase venous blood flow in the legs and feet. The enhanced blood flow helps prevent DVT and pulmonary embolisms that may result in illness, disability, or sometimes death1. The pump uses leg sleeves or a foot cuff to apply cyclical compression, moving 100% more blood through the limbs per hour than a competitive device with fixed, uniform compression. Its compact design makes it easy to transfer from room to room. The pump also has several smart features that monitor treatment, customizing the compression cycle to best suit the current patient.
Vitality Medical offers a variety of DVT pumps.

SCD 700 Compression Pump - Perfect for Patient Needs
The SCD 700 Express Controller operates quietly to minimize disturbances. It has smart features that cater to each individual's needs. The pump uses Vascular Refill Detection technology to monitor how quickly the limb refills with blood and automatically adjusts the compression cycle to maximize the flow rate. As the user's needs change over time, the controller makes adjustments to match without input from medical staff. In addition, the SCD 700 Express Controller for Acute Care (Kendall 9525) has an included bed frame hook that lets caregivers hang the unit off the head or footboard of a hospital bed.
Indications For Use
The Kendall SCD 700 Series Controller is used for those who are at risk of developing deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or venous thromboembolism, such as those who are recovering from surgery. It is also designed for circulation enhancement as well as aiding with acute and chronic edema, leg ulcers, and extremity pain as a result of trauma or surgery.
Contraindications
This device may not be recommended for use if patients have the following:
- Local leg conditions that will interfere with the sleeves such as dermatitis
- Severe arteriosclerosis
- Other ischemic vascular diseases
- Massive edema of the legs
- Pulmonary edema from congestive heart failure
- Extreme leg deformity
- Suspected pre-existing DVT, PE, or thrombophlebitis
- Conditions where increasing fluid to the heart may be detrimental
- Congestive heart failure
Compliance Meter
The Kendall SCD 700 Series Compression Therapy Pump has a Compliance Meter that monitors the length of compression therapy. It measures the therapy time in minutes and hours for each shift, day, or the patient's entire hospital stay. This background compliance feature will not interfere with the controller's normal operation.
The Kendall SCD 700 also has a patient detection feature that periodically checks for the presence of the patient. If it is unable to detect anything, the controller displays a notification and makes an audible noise, notifying staff that the leg sleeves have been removed.
