Accessories Needed For V�A�C� Veraflo™ Therapy With The V�A�C�Ulta™ Therapy System; (Provided Separately); Dressing Changes - Acelity V.A.C.ULTA Safety Information And Application Instructions

ACCESSORIES NEEDED FOR V.A.C. VERAFLO™ THERAPY WITH THE V.A.C.ULTA™
THERAPY SYSTEM (PROVIDED SEPARATELY)
All V�A�C�Ulta™ Therapy System dressings and accessories are packaged sterile and are latex-free� With
the exception of the V�A�C� VeraLink™ Cassette, all disposable components are for single use only� The
V�A�C� VeraLink™ Cassette is for single patient use only� Re-use of disposable components may result
in wound contamination, infection, and / or failure of the wound to heal. To help ensure safe and
effective use, all components should only be used with the V�A�C�Ulta™ Therapy Unit�
The decision to use clean versus sterile / aseptic technique is dependent upon wound pathophysiology,
physician / clinician preference, and institutional protocol� Use appropriate institutional protocols to
avoid inadvertent contamination of exposed components�

DRESSING CHANGES

Wounds being treated with the V�A�C�Ulta™ Therapy System should be monitored on a regular basis� In
a monitored, non-infected wound, V�A�C�® Dressings and V�A�C� VeraFlo™ Therapy Dressings should be
changed every 48 to 72 hours, but no less than three times per week, with frequency adjusted by the
clinician as appropriate� Infected wounds must be monitored often and very closely� For these wounds,
dressings may need to be changed more frequently with the dressing change intervals based upon a
continuing evaluation of wound condition and the patient's clinical presentation, rather than a fixed
schedule�
