Kendall SCD EXPRESS
Kendall · Model SCD EXPRESS
• ALL-IN-ONE CONTROLLER - Delivers compression to the leg, foot, or both simultaneously. Customer has the choice of leg or foot compression with one controller. • VASCULAR REFILL DETECTION - Moves a greater VOLUME of BLOOD over time, minimizing stasis. Customizes the compression cycle, moving blood from the lower extremities as soon as possible, as often as necessary. No nursing intervention is required to operate. Ensures continual monitoring of a patient's venous refill status. • BATTERY OPERATION - Move patients throughout the hospital with no interruption of therapy (room to room, floor to floor, testing, etc.). Allows for the elimination of power cords during times when they may get in the way (i.e., the operating room, interventional radiology, etc.). Can be used during ambulation. GARMENT DETECTION - Provides safety and ease of use. The system detects what type of garment is applied to each leg. The fully automated system easily changes between leg and foot compression parameters with the touch of a button. • SINGLE-LEG OPERATION - System accommodates single leg application. Clinicians can provide therapy to patients who may only have one leg compressed (i.e., contraindications, amputation, etc.). • SMALL FOOTPRINT - Easy to transport. Less space needed for storage. Sized so that the device will not get lost.
Key tips
- ·Most "no output" stim-unit complaints are cable-side - check electrode/lead continuity before assuming a unit fault.
- ·Frame and strap wear on mechanical rehab equipment is a real fall/injury risk - don't defer it as cosmetic.
Typical Failure Modes
Failure patterns typical of this equipment class - general BMET reference, not verified against this exact unit's own service history unless flagged. Severity is a category-level estimate.
Control panel / power supply fault
MediumSymptoms: Unresponsive controls, won't power on.
Root cause: PSU or control board aging.
Frame / mechanical wear
LowSymptoms: Loose joints, unstable frame.
Root cause: Fastener/bearing wear from repeated use.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Frame and strap wear inspection
- ·Electrode lead continuity check
- ·Annual electrical safety test
Troubleshooting Approach
A structured starting point derived from the failure modes above. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Frame / mechanical wear
- Confirm the presentation - typically loose joints, unstable frame - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: fastener/bearing wear from repeated use.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the control panel / PCB per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
Symptom: Control panel / power supply fault
- Confirm the presentation - typically unresponsive controls, won't power on - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: pSU or control board aging.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the power supply unit per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
