High vacuum alarm:
Vacuum level is higher than set point of NPWT by >15mmHg and device will stop delivering therapy. Event must be
investigated by healthcare provider immediately and corrected.

Complete blockage/canister over-capacity alarm:
The system detects a complete blockage in the system, this includes a canister where contents have reached
maximum volume capacity. There will be no negative pressure at the wound site. Once corrected, alarm will
automatically reset and status/alarm indicator will return to solid green.

Cautions – Complete blockage/canister over-capacity alarm:
Complete blockage/canister over-capacity alarm activation is driven by occlusion of filter located at top of canister.
As canister fills with fluid, the filter will begin to occlude as fluid makes continuous contact, creating a complete
blockage in vacuum circuit. A completely occluded filter will result in canister over-capacity alarm activation.
Complete blockage/canister over-capacity alarm will not activate until filter is completely occluded. Canister
orientation, rate at which fluid enters canister and how exudate solidifies can impact filter occlusion and canister
over-capacity alarm functionality.
Canisters should be kept in an upright orientation to optimize canister over-capacity alarm functionality while
maximizing canister volume. When canister is operating in horizontal orientation, facing upward, alarm functionality
may be compromised. Refer to information on canister orientation on page 6.
To optimize canister over-capacity alarm functionality, canister must be changed in the event the canister contents
reach maximum volume indication (300ml or 750ml fill line).
Do not wait for alarm activation to change the canister.
