8. Precautions
8.1) Be aware for any of the following conditions:
There are additional conditions to take into account before using Negative
Pressure Wound Therapy , such as:
1. BLEEDING: There is a risk of bleeding/hemorrhaging with negative
pressure wound therapy. If hemostasis cannot be achieved, if the patient
is on anticoagulants or platelet aggregation factors, or if the patient has
friable blood vessels or infected vascular anastomosis, he or she may
have an increased risk of bleeding; accordingly these patients should be
treated in an inpatient care facility per their treating physician.
If active bleeding develops suddenly or in large amounts during
therapy, immediately disconnect the pump, leave the dressing in place,
and take measures to stop bleeding. Seek medical attention immediately.
2. VESSEL AND BONE PROTECTION: Precautionary measures should be
taken if any bones, vessels, ligaments or tendons are exposed.
Additionally, sharp edges (due to bone fragments) require special
attention; these areas should be covered and smoothed wherever
possible. These conditions should be factored into the therapy
prescription as the attending clinician sees fit.
3. ENVIRONMENT:
a. Defibrillation: Remove the extriCARE™ dressing if defibrillation is
required in the area of dressing placement. Failure to remove the
dressing may inhibit transmission of electrical energy and/or patient
resuscitation.
b. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): The extriCARE™ device is unsafe
in the MR environment. Do not take the extriCARE™ device into the MR
environment. extriCARE™ dressings however can typically stay on the
patient with minimal risk in an MR environment, assuming that the use of
the
extriCARE™ Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System is not interrupted for
more than two hours.
c. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO): Do not take the extriCARE™ device
into a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. extriCARE™ devices are not designed
for this environment, and should be considered a fire hazard in such an
environment. After disconnecting the
extriCARE™ device, either (i) replace
the extriCARE™ dressing with another HBO compatible material during the
hyperbaric treatment, or (ii) cover the unclamped end of the extriCARE™
tubing. For HBO therapy, the extriCARE™ tubing must not be clamped.
Never leave an extriCARE™ dressing in place without active extriCARE™
Negative Pressure Wound Therapy for more than two hours.
