Cleaning and Disinfection
Cleaning and disinfection of the ActiV.A.C.® Therapy Unit includes wipedown of all hard surface components. The ActiV.A.C.®
Therapy Unit must be cleaned and disinfected:
•if it becomes soiled during patient use
•between each patient use
Infection Control
Institutional policies regarding infection control may vary; however, KCI recommends the following regarding infection
control when processing KCI V.A.C.® Therapy devices:
•Designate contaminated and clean areas for separating and storing equipment before and after transport, cleaning and
disinfection. Follow protocols to ensure no cross-contamination occurs between unclean and clean units.
•Use personal protective equipment (PPE) and hand hygiene protocols in accordance with the following standards:
•29 CFR 1910.1030, OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard
•MMWR October 2002;51 (No. RR-16), Guidelines for Hand Hygiene in Healthcare Settings
•Clean all organic material from the therapy unit prior to disinfection.
•Use hospital-grade cleaners and disinfectants, according to the CDC 2008 Guideline for Disinfection and Sterilization in
Healthcare Facilities.
•Do not immerse or saturate the therapy unit with uids to avoid damage to the electronics in the device. Follow
institutional procedures used for the cleaning and disinfection of other hard surface durable electronic medical
equipment.
Ensure that the ActiV.A.C.® Therapy Unit and its power supply are not connected to AC power when using
cleaning fluids of any nature.
To isolate the therapy unit from supply mains, unplug the AC power from the wall outlet.
Supplies and Equipment Needed
•Hospital grade antiseptic used per label directions
•Clear plastic bags (as appropriate)
•Cotton tipped applicators
•Rubber bands
•Tweezers or similar tool
•#1 Phillips screwdriver
General Cleaning Recommendations
•Use PPE as appropriate.
•For items that are wiped down, ensure item’s entire surface is completely covered with the cleaning uid and remains wet
for a minimum of 60 seconds.

12. Remove the USB ash drive from the ActiV.A.C.® Therapy Unit.
13. Connect the USB ash drive to an external computer.
The ActiV.A.C.® Therapy Unit exports a le folder that uses the unit serial number as its name. The folder contains a
Comma Separated Values (CSV) le named by date, YYYYMMDD.csv.
14. For the initial save operation, save the entire le folder to a secure computer.
15. For subsequent data exports from the same ActiV.A.C.® Therapy Unit, save the new dated CSV le to the same secure
computer into the existing folder named with the ActiV.A.C.® Therapy Unit serial number.
16. With the data download complete, continue on to Battery Check.
Battery Check
The purpose of this procedure is to determine if the battery needs changing.
1. Locate the battery history label located on the bottom of the unit.
2. Verify the battery change date on the battery history label.
3. If the battery is within the date range, skip ahead to Pressure Checks;
otherwise proceed to the Change Battery procedure.
Battery Change
The purpose of this procedure is to change the battery.
Ensure that the ActiV.A.C.® Therapy Unit is not connected to
the power supply when removing or replacing the battery.
1. Verify that the battery change due date on the battery history label is
at or exceeds the current date.
2. Remove the battery history label.

5. Remove the battery from the unit until the wiring connector is accessible.
6. Disconnect the battery from the unit.
7. Remove the old battery and dispose of it properly in accordance with
local, state and federal regulations for Lithium-ion batteries.
The ActiV.A.C.® Therapy Unit battery must be replaced only
with batteries supplied by KCI. Use of any other battery may
compromise safety and / or cause erratic operation.
8. Obtain a new battery from KCI (KCI P/N 414003).
9. Obtain a new battery history label (KCI P/N 340168).
Shelf life of the battery is 12 months from battery manufacture
date. Verify that the battery manufacture date is within 12
months of the date of installation. If the manufacture date
is outside 12 months, contact KCI (see page 27) for a
replacement battery.
10. Calculate the next battery change due date as 30 months from the
installation date.
11. Record the required information on the battery history label.
12. Slide new battery about halfway into unit until connectors meet. Plug
connectors together and ensure locking tabs are fully engaged.
13. Fit the battery into the housing ensuring the wiring harness is not
in front or behind the battery and is not tangled or obstructing the
battery.
14. Press the Power On / O switch to ensure the unit powers on properly.
15. Press the Power On / O switch to turn the unit o.
16. Reinstall the battery cover, ensuring that it easily ts and does not
need to be forced into place. If force is required, the battery is not
properly installed. Double check that the wiring harness is not
preventing the battery from tting fully into the battery compartment.
17. Install the two screws tightly.
18. Install the new battery history label across the battery cover.
19. With the battery change complete, continue on to Pressure Checks.
Pressure Checks
The purpose of this procedure is to ensure the therapy unit pump responds to pressure setting adjustments.
The ActiV.A.C.® Therapy Unit must be connected to the
ActiV.A.C.® Power Supply during this procedure. The needle
valve simulates the permeability of a V.A.C.® Drape. The PVC
test xture and hygroscopic lter simulate the ActiV.A.C.®
Canister.
