I have a history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in my right leg. The device instructions say to switch legs after 4 hours of use.
Is Quell safe for use on a leg that has had at least one, possibly more, DVTs? null

We recommend switching legs after 4-5 hours of use, however, you can also simply air out your skin for 15-30 minutes every 4-5 hours by removing the device and then reapplying it to the same leg. We have not heard of any issues from Quell users regarding DVT.
