Introduction
This Clinician information provides operating instructions for the ACTIV.A.C.
TM
Therapy Unit to the
healthcare professional. Many features described are not available in Patient Mode. Patient Mode allows
the patient to start and stop therapy, find leaks using the SEAL CHECK™ feature, and attend to alerts
and alarms, but does not allow changes to therapy settings.
V.A.C.® (Vacuum Assisted Closure®) Therapy is a system that uses controlled continuous or intermittent
negative pressure (vacuum) to create an environment that promotes wound healing by:
• preparing the wound bed for closure
• reducing edema
• promoting granulation tissue formation and perfusion
• removing exudate and infectious material
The ACTIV.A.C.
TM
Therapy System provides Negative Pressure Wound Therapy
(NPWT) and Therapeutic Regulated Acute Care (SENSAT.R.A.C.
TM
) for use on a
variety of chronic and acute wound types. This advanced wound healing therapy
can be readily integrated into the healthcare provider’s wound healing practice,
helping to optimize patient care and manage costs. It is a flexible therapy
that, with appropriate precautions in place, may be used in both hospital and
community settings. This advanced wound healing technology is coupled with
microprocessor-controlled therapy units and 24-hour customer service and
support.
