SENSAT.R.A.C.™ PAD APPLICATION
CAUTION: Do not place the SENSAT.R.A.C.™ Pad directly over the umbilicus.
NOTE: Do not cut off the pad or insert the tubing into the foam dressing. This may occlude the
tubing and cause the PREVENA PLUS™ 125 Therapy Unit to alert.
1. Choose pad application site. Give particular consideration to fluid
flow and tubing positioning to allow for optional flow and avoid
placement over bony prominences or within creases in the tissue.
2. Pinch drape and carefully cut an approximately 2.5 cm hole through
the drape. The hole should be large enough to allow for removal of
fluid and/or exudate. It is not necessary to cut into the foam.
NOTE: Cut a hole rather than a slit, as a slit may self-seal during
therapy.
3. Apply pad, which has a central disc and a surrounding outer adhesive
skirt.
•
Remove both backing layers 1 and 2 to expose adhesive.
• Place pad opening in central disc directly over hole in the drape.
•
Apply gentle pressure on the central disc and outer skirt to
ensure complete adhesion of the pad.
•
Pull back on blue tab to remove pad stabilization layer.
4. Connect to the therapy unit. For connection to the PREVENA PLUS™ 125 Therapy Unit, see the
Connecting the Dressing to PREVENA PLUS™ 125 Therapy Unit section. For connection to
other KCI V.A.C.® Therapy Units, see the Connecting the PREVEN PLUS™ Dressing with V.A.C.®
Therapy Units section.
For dresing removal, see the Dressing Removal section.
NOTE: The removable label on the supplied ruler may be used as
needed to record date of dressing application or removal.
