    • We are writing to ask if the GEKO Electro-Stimulation device meets criteria for Hospital eCQM VTE prophylaxis. I am attaching a white paper regarding the device and asking if the device meets criteria for a foot pump.

      See attached white paper. We are trying to determine if the Geko electro-stimulation device will meet criteria for a foot pump and if it acceptable as mechanical prophylaxis to meet the VTE measure
