Caution!
Important safety instructions
• Before use, check that the exudate canister and
the connection tubing are not damaged.
• The exudate canister is sterile and can be used in
the sterile operating environment.
• The exudate canister may only be changed by
specialist medical personnel during the therapy.
• Components marked with
In the event of reuse, these components lose their
function resulting in a high risk of infection.
• In order to guarantee undisrupted operation of
the negative pressure unit, the filling level of the
exudate canister should be regularly checked.
Once the maximum filling level has been reached,
it should be replaced with a fresh exudate canister.
• Avoid the risk of the tube becoming displaced or
blocked by regularly checking the tubing system
and its connections for leaks and kinks.
• The VivanoTec Exudate Canisters are only intended
for use in conjunction with the Vivano System by
PAUL HARTMANN AG or the ATMOS S042 NPWT
negative pressure wound therapy system.
• Regularly monitor the patient, the unit and the
wound dressing. Watch out for wound exudate,
maceration, infection and loss of vacuum. In order
to ensure a safe therapy, it is necessary to check
the wound dressing frequently. In doing so, be sure
to check the wound dressing for imperviousness,
and also for negative pressure, check the wound
edges for maceration and check the wound edges
and the exudate for signs of infection. In the event
of signs of an infection, the attending physician
must be informed immediately.
• The exudate canister has to be changed after each
patient, but after one week at the latest.
• The negative pressure unit incl. exudate canister
must always remain in an upright position during
operation.
• The negative pressure unit incl. exudate canister
must not be placed on a patient's bed.
