Step 1
Select appropriate size dressing kit for
wound. Kit contains foam, port pad,
and 2 drapes. (Small kit has
1 drape only.)
Step 2
Clean the wound according to protocol.
Protect wound edges with drape.
Step 3
Cut foam to fit accurately in wound
bed. Avoid overlapping onto intact
skin. Avoid cutting foam over wound.
Avoid over-packing, as this will inhibit
filtration of drainage.
Step 4
Cover foam with drape by separating
bottom layers 1 and 2 to expose the
adhesive drape. Position and place
drape over foam. Remove stabilization
layers 1 and 2, then top with layer 3.
Remove white ruler tab.
Step 5
Cut a hole in drape the approximate size
of a quarter. Remove paper backing 1 from
bottom of the Port Pad. Position Port Pad
opening over the hole that was created.
Remove backing 2 from the top of Port Pad.
Flip handler tabs over on each side and
peel down to remove.
Step 6
Select canister size and attach to the
back of the pump. Connect the port
pad to the canister by securing the
purple luer lock.
Step 7
Initiate therapy by pressing the
universal on/off button . Adjust
pressure as prescribed using the
up/down arrows.
Step 8
A secure seal is identified when the
foam draws down and the target
pressure is reached.

Quick Reference Guide Button-ology
Adjust Pressure Setting: The user can adjust the pressure
in the main screen by pressing the up arrow button to
increase the vacuum pressure or the down arrow button
to decrease the vacuum pressure. The pressure may be
adjusted in 1 mm/hg increments. Or, if arrow is HELD down,
the pressure will increase/decrease in 10 mm/hg increments,
to advance to the prescribed pressure setting quickly.
The large number in the center of the LCD screen will only
change if the user physically changes it. Adjustments should
be based on the physician’s order.
The small number on the right side of the LCD screen (above
the bars showing suction strength) indicates the pressure in
the wound. This number will naturally fluctuate above and
below the target pressure setting due to the permeability
in the drape. Drape permeability prevents moisture build-up
under the drape and helps ensure that intact skin remains
clean and dry. If the small number drops 40 mm/hg or more
below the prescribed pressure setting too many times in a
minute, the pump will display an alert indicating there is
a leak in the system.
Lock/Unlock Pump: Press and hold the Lock/Unlock
