4. Care and Cleaning

Your Healthcare Professional will handle much of the care and cleaning needed for your NPWT system. Please
periodically check to make sure the device is working properly and look for signs that fluid has entered into the device.
Also regularly inspect the AC adapter for any damage or unusual wear.
If the device is not working properly or is alarming, refer to the Alarm Troubleshooting guide in the 3.3 ALARM OPERATION
section of this manual or contact your Healthcare Professional for help. If the AC adapter is damaged, it must be replaced
immediately. Contact your Healthcare Professional for help.
WARNING:
Avoid spilling liquid on any part of the therapy device. Liquids can cause corrosion when left on electronic
controls which can lead to failure. Component failure may cause the therapy device to operate erratically, possibly
causing a potential hazard to the patient or Caregiver.
WARNING: The Cardinal Health™ NPWT PRO family of devices should only be used with the supplied A.C. Adapter.
Use of an incorrectly rated adapter could create a shock hazard for the patient or caregiver and/or severely damage the device.

4.1 Disposal of Dressings, Canister and Other Disposables

Your Healthcare Professional should remove your dressings, tubings, clamps, used canisters and any other disposables.
Ask your Healthcare Professional what to do with a used canister you have changed yourself.
Dispose of all disposable components in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.

4.2 Cleaning the Device

The Cardinal Health™ NPWT PRO family device should need only light cleaning. Make sure to unplug the device before
cleaning. The Battery will automatically provide power so therapy is not interrupted. Clean the device with a damp soft
cloth and a mild soap and water solution.
Do not saturate the device with liquid or allow liquid to pool on the device. This can present a potential hazard for you
and/or your Healthcare Professional.
4.3 A.C. Power Adapter Inspection
The A.C. Adapter should be inspected regularly for damage and/or unusual wear. Replace damaged or worn Power
Supplies immediately. A.C. Adapters are available from Cardinal Health.
WARNING: The Cardinal Health™ NPWT PRO family of devices should only be used with the supplied A.C. Adapter. Use of an
incorrectly rated adapter could create a shock hazard for the patient or caregiver and/or severely damage the device.
