Remedy
Caution – Lack of alarms:
If partial blockage occurs, the change in
pressure status detected by device may
not be significant enough to trigger alarm
activation. Over time if blockage reaches point
of full occlusion, complete blockage alarm will
activate.
Blockage formation within wound dressing
will not be detected by system as it has
occurred outside of monitored vacuum circuit,
but can affect pressure status at the wound.
Appropriately frequent monitoring of wound
dressing is recommended to confirm adequate
delivery of therapy.
In the event of heavy or viscous drainage,
drainage with sediment or when blood is
present, regular monitoring and more frequent
dressing changes may be required.
If a complete blockage is present in the
system, but an air leak occurs between
blockage and device, the alarm may not
activate. Ensure all connections are secure and
no air leaks are present in system. Potential
sources of air leaks include:
• Misplaced or worn O-ring on the device
inlet port, located between the device and
canister.
• Tear in Soft Port.
• Misplaced or worn O-ring within the quick
click connector (between the Soft Port and
canister tubing).
• Cracked or damaged canister.
When using a Y-connector to connect two Soft
Ports to the same device, a complete blockage
alarm will not activate unless a complete
blockage is present in both Soft Ports. If a
partial blockage is present in one or both Soft
Ports, the complete blockage alarm will not
activate. When Y-connecting within a NPWT
system, regular monitoring of both wound
dressings is recommended. Ensure that all
dressings are fully compressed and firm to the
touch.
NOTE: For RENASYS F/P or G/P wound
dressing kits, the complete blockage alarm
will only activate if a complete blockage occurs
within the canister tubing. There is no blockage
detection in the dressing tubing.
