1. Introduction
1.1 Indications
The Cardinal Health™ NPWT PRO and PRO to GO systems are an integrated wound management system, indicated
for the application of continual or intermittent negative pressure wound therapy to the wound as the device may
promote wound healing by the removal of uids, including wound exudates, irrigation uids, body uids and infectious
materials.The Cardinal Health™ NPWT PRO and PRO to GO systems are intended for patients with chronic, acute,
traumatic, subacute and dehisced wounds, partial-thickness burns, ulcers (such as diabetic or pressure), aps and grafts.
The Cardinal Health™ NPWT PRO and PRO to GO systems are intended for use in acute, extended and home care settings.
1.2 Contraindications
The Cardinal Health™ NPWT PRO and PRO to GO is contraindicated for patients with malignancy in the wound,
untreated osteomyelitis, non-enteric and unexplored stulas, or necrotic tissue with eschar present. Do not place
the Cardinal Health™ NPWT foam dressing over exposed blood vessels or organs.
1.3 Precautions
Precautions should be taken for patients with infected wounds, active bleeding, dicult wound hemostasis, or who
are on anticoagulants.When placing the Cardinal Health™ NPWT foam dressing in close proximity to blood vessels or
organs, take care to ensure that they are adequately protected with overlying fascia, tissue or other protective barriers.
Exposed tendon, nerves or blood vessels should be protected by moving available muscle or fascia over them or by a
layer of synthetic material. Greater care should be taken with respect to weakened, irradiated or sutured blood vessels
or organs. Bone fragments or sharp edges could puncture a dressing barrier, vessel or organ.Wounds with enteric stula
require special precautions in order to optimize therapy.
1.4 Additional Precautions
• Debrillation: Remove the Cardinal Health™ NPWT Dressing if debrillation is required in the area of dressing
placement. Failure to remove the dressing may inhibit electrical current transmission and/or patient resuscitation.
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): The Cardinal Health™ NPWT PRO family of devices is not MRI-compatible.
Do not take the device into the MRI area.
• Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO): NEVER allow a device—whether on or o—inside a hyperbaric chamber.
The device must be disconnected from the patient prior to HBO treatment.
• Large Canisters: Use of Large Canisters (>500ml) may increase serious risks associated with excessive uid loss.
Monitor patient status continually.
• DO NOT USE for infants or other patients with low uid volume, nor for patients at high risk of major hemorrhage.
• During Negative PressureWoundTherapy, the Cardinal Health™ NPWT PRO family of devices and Cardinal Health™
NPWT Dressing are a closed system and are NOT vented to atmosphere.
• During Negative PressureWoundTherapy, when a canister lls with uid, it should be replaced immediately as
uids such as wound exudate will not be removed from the dressing once the canister is full.

1.5 Safety Tips
KEEP THERAPY ON
The Cardinal Health™ NPWT PRO family of devices should be operated at least 22 hours out of every 24 hour period.
Remove the Cardinal Health™ NPWT foam dressing if therapy is terminated or is o for more than 2 hours in a
24 hour period.
DRESSING CHANGES
Clean the wound per physician order prior to dressing application. Routine dressing changes should occur every 48 to
72 hours. Dressing changes for infected wounds should be accomplished more frequently than 48 to 72 hours.
Always replace with sterile disposables from unopened packages. Follow established institution protocols regarding
clean versus sterile technique.
MONITORING THE WOUND
Inspect the dressing frequently to ensure that the foam is collapsed and that therapy is being delivered in a consistent
manner. Monitor wound exudates for signs of active bleeding. Monitor periwound tissue and exudate for signs of
infection or other complications.* Extra care and attention should be given if there are any signs of possible infection
or related complications. Infection can be serious.With or without the Cardinal Health™ NPWT PRO family of devices,
infection can lead to many adverse complications including pain, discomfort, fever, gangrene, toxic shock, septic shock,
and various other complications.With signs of more serious complications of infection, discontinue the use of the
Cardinal Health™ NPWT PRO family of devices until the serious infection is diagnosed and properly treated.
DISCOMFORT/ADHERENCE
If patient complains of discomfort during dressing change, consider pre-medication, use of a non-adherent wound contact
layer prior to foam placement or irrigation of a topical anesthetic agent such as 1% Lidocaine prior to dressing removal.
UNSTABLE STRUCTURES
Use the lowest pressure setting on the Cardinal Health™ NPWT PRO family of devices over unstable body structures such
as unstable chest wall or non-intact fascia.
SPINAL CORD INJURY
In the event a patient experiences autonomic hyperreexia (sudden elevation in blood pressure or heart rate in response
to stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system), discontinue the use of the Cardinal Health™ NPWT PRO family of
devices to help minimize sensory stimulation.
UNDERLYING STRUCTURES
Underlying structures must be covered by natural tissues or synthetic materials that form a complete barrier between
the underlying structures and the Cardinal Health™ NPWT Dressing.
Cardinal Health™ NPWT DRESSING USE
The Cardinal Health™ NPWT Dressings distributed by Cardinal Health are to be used exclusively with the
Cardinal Health™ NPWT PRO family of devices.

4.3 Therapy Setting Adjustment
CAUTION: Only a physician can prescribe the proper settings and protocols for the device. Failure to follow product
instructions or adjusting settings and performing therapy application without the express direction and/or supervision
of your trained caregiver may lead to improper product performance and the potential for serious or fatal injury.
Adjusting the Pressure Setting
There are ve pressure settings available: -50 mmHg, -75 mmHg, -100 mmHg, -125 mmHg and -150 mmHg.
The Pressure Selection buttons are located on the left side of the control panel.The UP button increases the
pressure setting and the DOWN button decreases the pressure setting.
