Leak Alarm
Medium Priority Alarm - This alarm screen appears when the therapy unit detects a significant leak. It is
indicated by a repeating audible tone.
Press Audio Pause to silence the audible tone.
The audible tone will come back on in two
minutes if the alarm condition has not been
fixed.
If the alarm is not fixed within three
minutes, therapy will stop. The Leak Alarm
Therapy Interrupted Alarm will appear.
WARNING: If the therapy unit will be off
for more than two hours, call your doctor
or nurse right away. Without power to the
therapy unit, your dressing will need to be
replaced.
This alarm is fixed by finding and fixing the leak.
Most leaks occur:
• where the drape meets the skin.
• where the SENSAT.R.A.C.
TM
Pad is attached to the drape.
• at tubing connectors.
• when the canister is not securely connected to the
therapy unit.
To fix the leak:
1. Check the tubing connectors between the dressing
and the canister. Make sure they are properly locked.
2. Make sure the canister is properly installed onto the
therapy unit. When the canister is properly installed, it
cannot be removed by gently pulling it away from the
unit.
3. Using light pressure, move your hand and fingers slowly
around the edges of the drape and SENSAT.R.A.C.
TM
Pad.
4. If the leak is fixed within three minutes, the unit will
return to the Patient Mode home screen.
