Warnings
The absence of vacuum in the dressing might determine build-up of exudates
triggering infectious and inflammatory processes. If the absence of vacuum
extends for several days, necrotic eschars may form. If suction is interrupted
for more than 2 hours, remove the dressing after irrigating it with saline
solution.
Use in a hyperbaric chamber
For patients connected to the WaterLily system who require hyperbaric
treatment, follow the instructions below:
4.
Do not introduce the vacuum generator into a hyperbaric chamber as this
device is not suitable for use in an oxygen-rich environment.
5.
Before the patient enters the hyperbaric chamber, switch off the vacuum
generator and disconnect the single-use canister (see the procedure in the
paragraph “Replacing the WaterLily TS Canister”).
6.
When the patient exits the hyperbaric chamber, reconnect the canister to
the vacuum generator and resume the therapy using the CONTINUE
THERAPY function (see the procedure in the paragraph “Turning on the
device and activating CONTINUE THERAPY”.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environment
For patients connected to the WaterLily system who require magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI), follow the instructions below:
4.
Do not introduce the vacuum generator into a magnetic resonance imaging
environment as this device is not suitable for use in such an environment.
5.
Before the patient enters the magnetic resonance imaging environment,
switch off the vacuum generator and disconnect the single-use canister (see
the procedure in the paragraph “Replacing the WaterLily TS Canister”).
6.
When the patient exits the magnetic resonance imaging environment,
reconnect the canister to the vacuum generator and resume the therapy
using the CONTINUE THERAPY function (see the procedure in the paragraph
“Turning on the device and activating CONTINUE THERAPY”.
Use in case of defibrillation
For patients connected to the WaterLily system who require defibrillation in the
area involving the dressing, remove the dressing before performing the
treatment.
