What you see or hear Problem What to do More information
OFF Button is ashing.
Single beep.
The battery is low and has
approximately 30 minutes
before the battery is too low
to support continued
operation of the CATALYST™.
• Plug in the CATALYST™. A green light shows
next to the Plugged In symbol and an amber
light next to the Battery Charging symbol
indicates that power is going to the

LOW PRESSURE/LEAK
indicator is lit.
Single beep.
Pressure Setting Button
is ashing.
CATALYST™ is making more
noise.
There is an air leak in either
the dressing or the tubing
connections.
Leaks often occur over areas
of moist skin, creases or folds
in skin and wrinkles in the
drape.They can occur if the
drape snags on clothing or
bed sheets.
• Clamp the tubing.
• If the Low Pressure/Leak light stops and
Canister Full/Blockage light begins ashing,
there is a leak between the clamp and the
dressing — often in the dressing. Reopen the
clamp before addressing the leak.
• Gently press around drape to check for leaks.
If leak is found, patch with extra drape material.
• If Low Pressure/Leak alert continues, there is
a leak between the clamp and the CATALYST™.
Check the tubing connection at the canister.
Check to ensure the canister is fully seated and
locked. Check for cracks in the canister or lid
separation. If found, replace the canister.
• Open the clamp.
Once the leak is found and sealed, the alert
resets, the Pressure Setting quits ashing and
the CATALYST™ becomes quiet.

o by pressing the OFF Button and then
turn the CATALYST™ back on to resume
therapy.
• If changing the canister and/or turning the

tubing or possibly in the dressing. Change
the tubing and/or dressing as needed to
resolve the alert.

when the canister is 90 percent full, but the
CATALYST™ continues to work until the canister
