4. How to Apply NPWT
4.1 Getting Started
NB. A Wound Care Set must be used with the
VENTURI
MINO system to carry out NPWT (see page 4 for available options).
Please refer to the ‘Wound Care Set Instructions for Use’ leaflet (supplied with Wound Care Set) for dressing application and
setup.
CAUTION! The medical professional is responsible for using his/her best medical judgment when using this system. Prior to
use, the medical professional(s) treating the wound must assess how to best use the system for an individual wound.
1. Remove all packaging from the power unit and mains adapter.
NB: If the battery charge appears to be partially depleted on first use, the power unit should be used with the power
adapter, to fully charge the battery during operation.
2. Attach the drainage canister to the
VENTURI
MINO power
unit by lining up the two parts, pushing together and twisting to
lock (Fig. 1). Remove the bung from the connector port (this can
be retained to cap the used canister prior to disposal). Ensure
canister is correctly located and secured otherwise NO CANISTER
alert will appear and power unit will not operate.
3. Prepare and seal wound as described in Wound Care Set
‘Instructions for Use’.
4. Attach the portal drain to the power unit canister by pushing the
tubing firmly and fully onto the tubing connector located on the
top of the canister. Push the tubing down into the channel to
assist with the routing of the tubing.
4.2 Operating the Vacuum Power Unit:
1. If using the mains adapter, insert the smaller end (DC outlet) of the supplied power adapter cable into the side of
the
VENTURI
MINO power unit, and the other end into the appropriate power outlet. The power adapter indicator
should be illuminated.
NB. The battery will charge when the unit is connected to the power source (indicated by battery charge icon on
the top right of the display screen) and provides automatic power back-up if the external power supply or adapter
fails. It is recommended to use the power adapter when convenient to do so as this will ensure the battery is fully
charged when needed. A fully discharged battery will take a number of hours to fully charge.
2. Press the RUN/STOP/UNLOCK button to initialise and run the power unit (the operating pressure and battery charge
status will be displayed).
3. The default operating vacuum is 80mmHg. The vacuum level can be adjusted between a choice of 80mmHg or
120mmHg by pressing the UP/DOWN arrow button.
