Boot-shaped pressure chamber generating pulsating negative pressure
Akershus University Hospital
Lørenskog, Lørenskog, Norway
% of the prescribed cycles delivered in the specified time FlowOx™-induced change in arterial leg blood flow (LBF)
This is calculated as the difference between the blood flow during the period using FlowOx™ (middle value over a period of 5 minutes) and baseline blood flow (middle value over a period of 5 prior to using FlowOx™)
Time frame: up to 1 hour
Patient comfort measured by asking the patient a fixed set of questions
Time frame: up to 1 hour
