3 Operation
CAUTION!
Hazard of persons due to improper handling.

Use the device for its intended purpose only.

Read chapter 3.1 and 3.2!
ATTENTION!
Malfunction due to aspirated wound exudate.

Ensure that the disposable exudate canister of the ASSKEA pro wound
®
M
and ASSKEA pro wound
®
S is replaced on a regular basis. If the disposable
exudate canister is full, the integrated overflow protection system is
triggered. This disrupts the aspiration process.
 Switch the device off when replacing the disposable exudate canister.

If the internal filter of the ASSKEA pro wound
®
M or the DFS
®
of the
ASSKEA pro wound
®
S is blocked, the device must be properly processed by
ASSKEA GmbH or by an authorized service partner of ASSKEA GmbH!
WARNING!
Hazard of persons due to inadequate monitoring of patient.
A regular adequate monitoring of patient is mandatory in case of intensivly
exuding wounds, wounds with viscous or strongly deposited exudate and
strong bleedings.
Particular attention must be paid to exudate retention in the wound dressing
and the proper seating of the dressing.
The establishment of the monitoring interval must be dependent on the wound
situation, the health of the patient and the settings of the alarm sensitivities.
WARNING!
Hazard of persons due to decreasing the alarm sensitivities.
When strong decreasing the alarm sensitivities, it is not excluded that a
blockage or leakage in the wound and tube system is not detected and thus no
alarm can be triggered.
The devices
ASSKEA pro wound
®
M and ASSKEA pro wound
®
S are designed to
build up a vacuum in the wound drainage system and to aspirate the exudate.
The devices are not designed to detect strong bleeding or congaries of blood in
the wound. For this reason you must not rely solely on the alarm system of the
devices
ASSKEA pro wound
®
M and ASSKEA pro wound
®
S .
The execution of regular monitoring of the patient and the wound dressing can
reduce a severe deterioration of health of the patient dramatically.
WARNING!
Hazard of persons during operation in a domestic environment.
Due to the increasing mobility of patients in a domestic environment, there is
an increasing risk of forming leaks or blockages in the wound dressing or tube
system.
For this reason, a detailed training and instruction of patients as well as
performing regular monitoring of the wound dressing and aspiration system by
trained personnel is mandatory.
