What is Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT)?
Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) is a method of treating wounds using
suction. The dressing is airtight and the pump creates a subatmospheric pressure,
clearing the wound of fluids.
• It helps support healing in complex and slow to heal wounds1
• It improves wound bed preparation that supports healing1
• It helps reduce swelling and protects the wound from external contamination2

Things to keep in mind
while using Avance®Solo
Avance®Solo is a medical device and it is important that you properly care for it.
The information below is gathered from the patient user manual, for complete instructions,
warnings and precautions see the patient user manual, included in the product package.
How to handle your daily hygiene routines
You can take light showers while receiving treatment with Avance®Solo, but it is
important that you do not expose the dressing, device, canister or tubing to jets of water.
Follow the guide below on how to handle your device correctly during hygiene routines
to avoiding contamination.
Do not:
• Change dressings yourself
• Expose the dressing, device, canister or tubing to jets of water, cold or heat
(operational temperature 5–40 °C)
• Submerge the dressing, pump, canister or tubing into water
• Use on an aircraft. Remove batteries during air travel
• Disassemble or tamper with the device
• Let children or pets have access to the device
Important features:
• Make sure you are aware of the visual and audible alarms for leakage,
blockage and low battery given by Avance Solo Pump. See page 10 for a list
of signals and alarms
•
target pressure level, in the same manner as larger benchtop systems
•
a healthcare professional
Make sure to wear and place the device in
a way that avoids:
• Entrapment or strangulation (i.e. tubing spiraled around a body part)
• Knotting or blocking of tubing
• When using the belt clip ensure that it is positioned to either side of your waist.
If for comfort or convenience, you position it at the front, remove prior to sitting to
avoid the pump being pushed out of the belt clip
Follow these steps when taking a light shower:
Pause therapy by pressing down the
green start button, and release after two
(2) seconds.
Clamp the canister tubing and dressing
tubing by positioning the slide clamps
next to the green connectors and slide
across the tubes until secured.
Restart therapy by pressing down the
green start button, and release after two
(2) seconds, until the pump activates and
Disconnect the two halves of the green
connector, and place the part with the
pump safely away from the shower.
Ensure that the dressing tubing is not
submerged when taking a shower.
After showering reconnect the dressing
green connectors. Once connected,
release the two clamps.

4 Precautions
• The Avance Solo Pump has both visual and audible notifications and alarms. Carry or position the pump so that you will be
able to detect audible and visual notifications or alarms.
• Regularly monitor the canister mounted on the pump. If the canister appears full or the pump alarms for blockage, change
the canister according to instructions provided in this manual, see Section 7.3.
• When the Avance Solo Pump alarms due to a low battery, replace the batteries in the pump according to the instructions
provided in this manual, see Section 7.4. Only use the type and model of lithium batteries specified for this product by
Mölnlycke Health Care, see Section 13.
• Ensure that the battery lid on the Avance Solo Pump is closed during therapy.
• If you see signs of possible infection such as pain, reddening, odor, or sensitization of the wound area or sudden change of
wound fluid volume or color, immediately contact a healthcare professional.
• Inform your healthcare professional if you are hypersensitive to the product’s materials, see Section 10.
• The Avance Solo Canister is provided sterile. Do not use the canister if the inner packaging of the canister is damaged.
• Do not place the Avance Solo Pump with canister in water or other liquids. If the pump is wet, disconnect the pump and
canister and contact your healthcare professional.
• Do not expose the Avance Solo Border Dressing to extensive contact with water. If the dressing is disconnected from the pump,
place the dressing tubing so that water does not enter the connector of the dressing tubing.
• Do not take the pump apart.
• Do not modify pump, canister, tubing or dressing as any modification may significantly compromise the ability of Avance Solo
NPWT System to deliver therapy.
• The Avance Solo Pump is not intended for use aboard aircraft. During air travel pause the pump and remove the batteries.
Make sure that the dressing is not left without applied suction longer than the time determined by your healthcare
professional.

When the battery power is reaching its end, the pump will indicate the following:
When 24 hours of battery power remain, the indicator light for LOW BATTERY flashes once every
five (5) seconds.
When less than 4 hours of battery power remain, the indicator light for LOW BATTERY flashes once
every second and the pump repeatedly alarms with a beep.
