Secretion canister full

The following causes can trigger the error message:
• Secretion canister full: Exchange the secretion canister.
• Blockage of the bacterial filter in the secretion canister: If the
bacterial filter has become moist with secretion, it becomes
blocked. Exchange the secretion canister.

pressed for 5 minutes.
In order to prevent blockage of the bacterial filter make sure
that the negative pressure unit is set up in stable position.

Leakage

This error message is triggered by leakage in the system which

• Check the wound dressing for any leakage.
• Check all connections for leakage.
• Check whether the canister is firmly connected to the nega-

By touching the key this warning message can be sup-
pressed for 5 minutes.
If it is not possible to rectify the leakage with these meas-
ures then the wound dressing and the hose system must be

4.2.6 Negative pressure ≤ 50 mmHg
For negative pressure values ≤ 50 mmHg, possible hose block-
ages in the hose system cannot be detected.
• Thus check the wound dressing and entire hose system at
regular intervals! How frequently the wound dressing and
the hose system need to be checked depends on the patient
as well as the wound. Observe the instructions from the
attending physician.
