USING THE PREVENA™ DRESSING WITH KCI V.A.C.® THERAPY UNITS
When directed by the treating physician, PREVENA™ Dressings can be used with negative
pressure wound therapy provided by INFOV.A.C.™, RX4™, V.A.C. SIMPLICITY™, ACTIV.A.C.™, V.A.C.
FREEDOM™, and V.A.C.ULTA™ Therapy Units.
WARNING: Refer to the therapy unit's user manual for complete instructions for use and
safety information before initiating therapy.
WARNING: DO NOT use with V.A.C. VERAFLO™ Therapy (Instillation) provided by the
V.A.C.ULTA™ Therapy Unit. Instillation into the incision site may result in pooling of fluid
which may result in maceration.
WARNING: The V.A.C.ULTA™, INFOV.A.C.™ and RX4™ Therapy Units are only indicated for use
in acute care settings. Before transitioning the patient to home care, this therapy unit must
be replaced with one indicated for home use, such as the PREVENA™ 125, ACTIV.A.C.™,
V.A.C. FREEDOM™ or V.A.C. SIMPLICITY™ Therapy Unit.
NOTE: When PREVENA™ Dressings are used with V.A.C.® Therapy, the SENSAT.R.A.C.™ wound
pressure sensing function on the therapy unit will be disabled. Instead, the PREVENA™ Dress-
ing foam bolster compression state should be used to verify that incision site pressure is
acceptable.
NOTE: Consider using the smallest available canister for the selected V.A.C.® Therapy Unit.
CONNECTING THE PREVENA™ DRESSING TO V.A.C.® THERAPY UNITS
