3.5 General Warnings, Cautions and Information

should only be used under the advice, recommendation and supervision of a licensed Physician and / or a
registered nurse.
• The medical professional is responsible for applying his/her best medical judgment when using this system. Prior to use,
the medical professional(s) treating the wound must assess how to best use the system for an individual wound.
