- Ulcers, cellulitis, or skin breakdown in treatment areas (posterior calf).
- History or diagnosis of severe chronic venous insufficiency.
- Acute limb ischemia within 30 days prior to treatment.
- History or diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis below the knee in treatment leg.
- Any conditions that, in the opinion of the investigator, may render the subject unable to complete the study or lead to difficulties for subject compliance with study requirements, or could confound study data.
