Therapy History Report
Settings Guide
SensaT.R.A.C. System
Selection of Patient Mode by the clinician can help prevent unauthorized access to
therapy set-up screens. Patient Mode allows the patient to have access to appropriate
screen menus.
A chronological log with date and times for therapy starts/stops, therapy settings, alarm
occurrences, and canister/dressing changes can be reviewed on-screen or transferred
from the ActiV.A.C. Therapy Unit electronically in the form of a Therapy History Report.
This electronic transfer can be accomplished by accessing the Infrared Data Port or by
inserting a USB flash memory stick into the USB Data Port.
V.A.C. Therapy set-up menus are available on-screen to assist in the selection of
therapy settings by wound type.
The SensaT.R.A.C. System monitors and maintains target pressure at the wound site,
helping to deliver consistent therapy. This system includes therapy unit hardware,
software, wound exudate collection canister, canister detection method, multi-lumen
tubing, connector and SensaT.R.A.C. Pad.
