
Vacuum levels in Vcare

®
system should be tailored to each specific wound and
adjusted according to patient's clinical condition. General guidelines and
recommended vacuum levels are shown in the table below.

Inexperienced personnel is advised to always use the cyclic-continuous mode or
consult a trained physician regarding the treatment settings before using the Vcare

®
system.

When applying external vacuum - make sure that the vacuum level supplied from
the external vacuum source is 50 mmHg above the desired working pressure but
should not exceed 200 mmHg.

It is recommended to connect the unit to an external vacuum source by a pressure
regulator.

The external vacuum tube must be disconnected from the unit when external
vacuum is not in use.

When working with the unit’s internal pump, make sure that the external vacuum
tube is not connected to the unit.

The device must be operated in a quite environment with background noise of no
more than 45-50dB

A
portable modality of utilization enables via a mobile stand.

IV (intravenous) medication administration by IV pump can be integrated with
Vcare

®
treatment. The pump shall be hanged on IV pole that structured in the
mobile stand or being placed on a flat surface that is higher than the Vcare

®
unit.
Warnings regarding clinical application of the Vcare

®
system

Bleeding and infection should be anticipated during the use of RNPT.

When bleeding risk is anticipated to be high (early following trauma or surgery),
working negative pressure levels should be set as low as possible and should not
exceed a maximum of 80 mmHg.

While working on stiff surfaces, as in clinical cases of low- perfused tissues like
PVD, diabetic, traumatic wounds, low vacuum is essential in order to prevent
tissue ischemia.

Maximal Flow Rate Setting: Maximal flow rate from the wound through the tubing
to the collection canister is pre-set as default to be up to 100 ml/hr. In case that the
flow exceeds this limit, an alarm is activated and the suction apparatus shuts
