Contraindications
Important information: Monitoring NPWT
Use of RENASYS TOUCH is contraindicated in the presence of:
Carefully monitor the patient, device, and dressing frequently to determine if there are any signs of bleeding, exudate accumulation (pooling), infection, maceration, or loss of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT). The frequency should be determined by the clinician based on individual characteristics of the patient and wound. NPWT devices are not designed to detect or issue an alarm condition based on the presence of bleeding or pooling. These conditions may only be detected by frequent monitoring. Special attention to the risks of bleeding or loss of NPWT should be considered when prescribing for use in the Home Environment. NPWT may be impacted by various conditions related to system configuration, set-up and individual characteristics of the patient and wound (e.g. exudate characteristics, patient anatomy). Alignment of the port to the opening in the drape, use of a bridging technique and choice of dressing configuration based on wound characteristics may impact NPWT vacuum delivery over the course of therapy. Exudate volume, viscosity and consistency may influence fluid removal or occlusion formation. A full canister, incorrect device orientation and device/tubing height relative to the wound can contribute to loss of NPWT and exudate 5

Precautions
1. Carefully monitor patients for signs of bleeding,
1. More frequent device and wound dressing
which may lead to interruption in therapy and hemodynamic instability. If such symptoms are observed, immediately discontinue therapy, take appropriate measures to control bleeding, and contact treating clinician.
monitoring should be undertaken for patients who are or may be:
• Suffering from infected blood vessels • Receiving anticoagulant therapy or platelet aggregation inhibitors, in addition to patients with intrinsic coagulation problems such as low platelet counts
2. Patients suffering from difficulty with hemostasis
or who are receiving anticoagulant therapy have an increased risk of bleeding. During therapy, avoid using hemostatic products that, if disrupted, may increase the risk of bleeding.
• Actively bleeding or have friable blood vessels or organs • Suffering from abnormal wound hemostasis
3. Do not use directly on exposed blood vessels or
organs. Sharp edges such as bone fragments must be covered or removed prior to initiating therapy, due to risk of puncturing organs or blood vessels drawn closer under the action of negative pressure.
• Malnourished • Noncompliant or combative • Suffering from wounds in close proximity to blood vessels or friable fascia.
Patient size and weight should be considered when prescribing the device.
When monitoring patients for delivery of therapy, ensure wound dressing is free of air leaks, fully compressed and firm to the touch.

18. Ensure canister tubing and RENASYS Soft Port are installed completely and without any kinks to avoid leaks or blockages in vacuum circuit. Position device and tubing appropriately to avoid risk of a trip hazard. Device and system tubing should be positioned level with or below the wound to ensure optimization of therapy and prevent therapy interruption.
9. Avoid use of circumferential dressings except in
cases of oedema or heavily exuding extremities, where this technique may be necessary to maintain a seal. Consider using multiple drapes to minimize risk of decreased distal circulation. Regularly assess distal pulses, and discontinue therapy if changes in circulation are detected.
19. When bathing or showering patient must
disconnect from device, protecting both ends of tubing using tethered caps. Ensure aeration disc located near quick click connector is free of moisture before reactivation of therapy to ensure proper alarm functionality and prevent interruption in therapy.
10. Monitor patient for any signs of local or systemic
infection. Infected wounds may require more frequent dressing changes. As NPWT is not intended to directly treat infection, if there are any signs of systemic infection or advancing infection at wound area, contact treating clinician immediately.
20. If any liquids penetrate device, discontinue use and return to your Smith & Nephew authorized provider for service.
21. CT scans and x-ray have the potential to interfere with some electronic medical devices. Where possible, move device out of x-ray or scanner range.
11. If multiple pieces of foam or gauze are needed to
fill the wound profile, count and record how many pieces are present to ensure all pieces are removed at a dressing change to minimize the risk of retention and possible infection.

sediment, or when blood is present, regular monitoring and more frequent dressing changes may be required.
4. When dressing a wound involving difficult to seal
anatomy or exposure to external moisture, frequent inspection of the dressing is recommended to ensure a seal is maintained. Ensure wound dressing is fully sealed and firm to the touch.
For patients with high risk of bleeding, use the 300ml canister. Canisters may have to be changed regularly within single patient treatments if exudate levels are high. Check canisters regularly to monitor exudate levels, ensuring they are below the canister maximum volume indication.
5. Ensure all wound filler material placed in the
wound has been removed before redressing the wound. If foam dressing adheres to the wound, apply normal saline into the wound dressing and wait for 15-30 minutes before gently removing the foam. Appropriately discard used wound dressings observing your institution’s protocol for medical waste handling.
Canisters are non-sterile and should not be used in a sterile field. Note: Check canister for any signs of cracks or damage. If noted, discard and replace canister. Note: Change or replace canisters that have been dropped or mishandled even if no visible signs of damage are present to ensure correct operation of software alarms for leak and blockage.
6. As with all adhesive products, apply and remove
the dressing carefully from sensitive or fragile skin to avoid skin stripping, especially after frequent dressing changes. Use of skin sealant may assist with protection of periwound skin.
7. Check the dressing regularly. Monitor the patient
for any signs of local or systemic infection. Infected wounds may require more frequent dressing changes. If there are any signs of systemic infection or advancing infection at the wounded area, contact the treating clinician immediately.
