Injuries
High pressure jet or trapped pressure in hoselines can cause serious injuries. In the event of any
waterjet injury the Waterjet Technology Association recommends:
• Seek medical attention immediately. Do NOT delay!
• Inform the doctor of the injury.
• Tell the physician what type of waterjet project was being performed at the time of the
accident and the source of the water and the materials involved.
Inform the physician of the following information:
• This patient may be suffering from a waterjet injury.
• Evaluation and management should parallel that of a gunshot injury.
• The external manifestations of the injury cannot be used to predict the extent of internal
damage.
• Initial management should include stabilization and a thorough neurovascular examination.
• X-Rays can be used to assess subcutaneous air and foreign bodies distant from the site of
injury.
• Injuries to the extremities can involve extensive nerve, muscle, vessel damage, as well as
cause a distal compartment syndrome.
• Injuries to the torso can involve internal organ damage. Surgical consultation should be
obtained.
• Aggressive irrigation and debridement is recommended.
• Surgical decompression and exploration may also be necessary.
• Angiographic studies are recommended pre-operatively if arterial injury is suspected.
• Bandages with a hygroscopic solution (MgS04) and hyperbaric oxygen treatment have been
used as adjunctive therapy to decrease pain, edema, and subcutaneous emphysema.
• Unusual infections with uncommon organisms in immunodeficient patients have been seen;
the source of the water is important in deciding on initial, empiric antibiotic treatment, and
broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics should be administered.
• Cultures should be obtained.
For your convenience, we have also included a set of wallet sized laminated medical alert
cards at the front of this printed user manual. This card contains the above injury treatment
information per the Waterjet Technology Association’s recommendation. We recommend users
of the machine to carry this card.. Additional copies of this card can be attained by contacting

Bacteria can build up in the standing water of the Tank. Any injuries or cuts,
even minor ones, should be treated with caution. If you have open wounds avoid contact with the
