vacuum and electricity sources. The unit should be preferably operated by direct
connection to a grounded electrical source and external vacuum source. The unit can be
placed on a stable flat dry surface or can be attached and secured to a designated
mobile stand
to enable patient ambulation.
The device must be operated in a quite environment with background noise of no more
than 45-50dB.
Make sure that the external power adapter and its connecting cables are not
creating a tripping hazard.
Make sure that the ventilation holes at the back of the unit are not covered or
blocked.
If the device is connected to mobile stand there is a need to make sure that it is
securely connected to the mobile stand and that the lock-pin is closed.
The Vcare
®
unit and tubing should be placed in a visible location in order to enable
direct eye contact with the system and enable early detection of bleeding and/ or
effective vacuum application to the treated area
.
