Note: Even if fluid is not actively moving though the system tubing, negative
pressure is still being delivered. It is important to monitor activity of the
device while you are using therapy.
IMPORTANT: Items to monitor include:
• The dressing.
It should have a raisin-like appearance and be firm to the touch.
Dressing compressed and
firm to the touch
Dressing decompressed and
soft to the touch
If your dressing is not compressed, press down around edges
of your dressing. If your dressing begins to draw down and
compress, you have resealed your dressing. If dressing remains
decompressed, contact your healthcare provider.
• The amount of fluid in the canister.
If canister contents reach the maximum fill line (300ml or 750ml) on
canister, it needs to be replaced. The canister must be replaced at
least once a week.
