Remedy
1. With device actively creating vacuum,
check wound dressing for air leaks. Look
for loose or decompressed dressing
appearance, listen for air movement
around dressing and feel for areas less
compressed or cooler in temperature.
Address identified leaks with transparent
film or adhesive gel patch.
2. Ensure the following connections are
secure:
• Orange quick click connector between
Soft Port and canister tubing.
• Secure engagement of canister to
device.
• Y-connector orange quick click
connectors, if present.
3. Disconnect Soft Port from canister tubing
at orange quick click connector and insert
tethered cap into both connectors.
• If alarm condition continues, there is
a potential issue with the device or
canister. Replace canister and contact
your Smith & Nephew authorized
representative.
• If alarm condition resolves, an air leak
is present within the wound dressing
or Soft Port. Reassess and replace as
needed.
Note: An air leak may result in a pressure drop
occurring within the system. As a result, the
low vacuum alarm may also activate while the
high flow/leak alarm is active.
Caution – Lack of alarms: Under specific
circumstances, a significant air leak may
occur in system without device activating
a high flow/leak alarm. This may be due to
partial blockage between source of air leak
and device, prohibiting detection of the leak
by device. As a result, alarm will not activate.
Over time, if blockage reaches point of full
occlusion, the complete blockage alarm will
activate. Read complete blockage/canister
over-capacity alarm troubleshooting for
instruction on locating the system blockage.
Check wound dressing regularly to ensure it is
fully compressed and firm to the touch.
