SEAL CHECK™ Leak Detector
The SEAL CHECK™ feature is used to help find negative pressure leaks and may be accessed in the
following ways:
• When therapy is started from the Clinician Mode Home screen.
• When SEAL CHECK™ is pressed from the Therapy screen.
• When SEAL CHECK™ is pressed on the Leak Alarm screen after the ACTIV.A.C.
TM
Therapy Unit detects a possible leak.
Patients only have access to the SEAL CHECK™ feature through
the Leak Alarm screen when the therapy unit detects a possible
leak.
How to Use the SEAL CHECK™ Leak Detector When Starting Therapy
Press On / Off located on the Clinician Mode
Home
screen to continue to the
Therapy Start screen.
The SEAL CHECK™ feature uses an audible tone and a bar graph to help find leaks.
The frequency of the audible tone and the height of the bar graph will reflect the
leak rate. The audible tone slows down and the bar graph gets shorter as the leak
is found.
During initial dressing draw down, the bar graph should turn
orange and then return to green if there are no significant leaks.
Most leaks occur:
• where the drape meets the skin.
• where the SENSAT.R.A.C.
TM
Pad is attached to the drape.
• at tubing connections.
• when the canister is not securely connected to the therapy
unit.
