Safety alarms
General
All alarms for RENASYS™ GO are determined to be "Low Priority," indicating that operator awareness is required
(IEC 60601-1:2005, 3rd edition and IEC 60601-1-8:2006).
In an alarm state with the audio paused, if a different alarm state occurs, the audio pause will be canceled, the
audio will sound and the display screen will indicate the new alarm state. When multiple alarm states are present,
the device's display screen will alternate between the display information for each alarm activated.
Cautions – Lack of alarms:
RENASYS GO device is equipped with high flow/leak, low vacuum and complete blockage/canister over-capacity
alarms to alert users to these events occurring during therapy. These alarms are designed to activate based on
changes in pressure status detected by device. However, there are scenarios that may occur during therapy that
can impact alarm functionality. Therefore, it is important that patient, device and wound dressing are monitored at an
appropriate interval to ensure therapy is being delivered.
Over vacuum alarm:
The system has encountered an excessively high vacuum (of >255mmHg) and device will stop delivering therapy.
Event must be investigated by healthcare provider immediately and corrected.
