V.A.C.ULTA™ Therapy System Key Features and Benefits

Therapy Selection - Allows user to select V.A.C. VERAFLO™, V.A.C.®, PREVENA™ or ABTHERA™ Therapies. Fill Assist (V.A.C. VERAFLO™ Therapy)- Allows the user to monitor the initial wound fill by manually starting and stopping instillation to determine the appropriate instill volume after the dressing is applied. Once determined, this volume will be the set point for each future instill phase of V.A.C. VERAFLO™ Therapy. Benefits: •

Removes the guesswork related to volume setting

•

Helps reduce leaks caused by wound overfilling

Volumetric Delivery with Solution Dwell Time (V.A.C. VERAFLO™ Therapy) - The V.A.C.ULTA™ Therapy Unit provides unique and patented volumetric fluid delivery utilizing a pump. Benefits: •

Delivers fluid reliably and uniformly across wound bed.

•

Allows time for solubilizing infectious materials and wound debris.

Automated and Cyclic Wound Cleansing (V.A.C. VERAFLO™ Therapy) - V.A.C. VERAFLO™ Therapy is 100% automated after set-up, providing hands-free, repeating wound cleansing cycles through instillation of topical wound solutions. Benefits: •

Delivers automatic and repetitive topical wound cleansing without dressing removal.

•

Eliminates need for manual wound cleansing between dressing changes.

V.A.C. VERALINK™ Cassette (V.A.C. VERAFLO™ Therapy) - This disposable component connects the V.A.C.ULTA™ Therapy Unit to the solution bag / bottle and dressing tubing. Benefits:

V.A.C.ULTA™ Therapy System Key Features and Benefits

•

It provides convenient solution storage and delivery.

Dressing Soak (V.A.C.® Therapy and V.A.C. VERAFLO™ Therapy)- This tool allows the clinician to soak the dressing and the wound with instillation solution in preparation for a dressing change. Benefits:

16

•

Provides ability to help "float" the dressing by increasing instillation volume and soak time.

•

Moistens and softens the dressing for easier removal and patient comfort.

Additional Features Touch Screen User Interface: The touch screen user interface allows for easy navigation through operational and help menus. A screen guard is available to help prevent unintentional changes. A settings lock is available to prevent patient access to therapy settings. Adjustable Negative Pressure Settings and Therapy Modes: Settings can be selected from a range of 25 mmHg to 200 mmHg in increments of 25 mmHg depending on settings available for selected therapy. In addition, V.A.C.® Therapy and V.A.C. VERAFLO™ Therapy can be set for continuous negative pressure or Dynamic Pressure Control™ (DPC) Therapy. SEAL CHECK ™ Leak Detector: This tool assists the user in finding negative pressure leaks in the system through the use of audible tones and on-screen visual aids during the troubleshooting process. History Reports: The V.A.C.ULTA™ Therapy System provides three possible reports: 1. Alarm History, 2. Therapy History, and 3. Patient History. These chronologically logged reports include the date and times for therapy starts / stops, therapy settings, alarm occurrences, and disposable component changes. They can be reviewed on-screen or transferred electronically from the V.A.C.ULTA™ Therapy Unit via a non-powered USB flash memory stick or SD memory card. SENSAT.R.A.C.™ System: The SENSAT.R.A.C.™ System (also incorporated in the V.A.C. VERAT.R.A.C.™ Pad, V.A.C. VERAT.R.A.C. DUO™ Tube Set, PREVENA PLUS™ Incision Management System, and ABTHERA™ SENSAT.R.A.C.™ Open Abdomen Dressing System) monitors and maintains target pressure at the wound site, helping to deliver consistent therapy. This system includes therapy unit hardware and software, wound exudate collection canister, canister detection method, multi-lumen tubing, connector and SENSAT.R.A.C.™ Pad. Not available with the PREVENA™ Dressing without SENSAT.RA.C.™ Pad. In-Line Tubing Connectors: The system incorporates an in-line dressing connector and tubing clamps to conveniently allow the wound dressing to be temporarily disconnected from the therapy unit. Canisters: The V.A.C.ULTA™ Therapy Unit is optimized for use with 300 mL, 500 mL or 1000 mL canisters. These are the same canisters used with INFOV.A.C.™ Therapy Unit. Canisters are single use, manufactured without natural rubber latex, sterile components. Canister Release Button: The canister release button is illuminated and will flash when the canister is full. Intensity Setting: Intensity is related to the time it takes to reach the target negative pressure therapy level after the initiation of therapy. The lower the intensity setting, the longer it will take to reach the target negative pressure. Wound Image Analysis: Digital wound images can be uploaded from a digital camera into the V.A.C.ULTA™ Therapy Unit. When the wound perimeter is traced on-screen with the provided stylus, wound image surface area and volume can be calculated and trended by the therapy unit. A chronological graphical history of the wound (with wound image area trend chart) can be viewed on-screen or this information can be transferred from the V.A.C.ULTA™ Therapy Unit electronically. This information is intended to be used by the treating clinician as a mechanism for providing a record of wound healing progress; it is not intended for use in the diagnosis and treatment of wounds. Hanger Mechanism: The therapy unit can be securely mounted to an I.V. pole, a bed footboard or a wheelchair. Battery Operation: In order to facilitate patient transfer, battery operation is available with the V.A.C.ULTA™ Therapy Unit. During typical usage, the battery may provide up to six hours of operation before needing to be recharged.

Preparation for Use Charge Battery The V.A.C.ULTA™ Therapy Unit comes with its own power supply and a rechargeable battery. The battery is not user accessible or serviceable. The power supply has a two-part cord, one that plugs into an AC wall outlet and one that plugs into the V.A.C.ULTA™ Therapy Unit. Use only the power supply provided with the V.A.C.ULTA™ Therapy Unit (part number: 4103730). Using any other power supply may damage the V.A.C.ULTA™ Therapy Unit. If environmental conditions (specifically, low humidity) pose a risk of static electricity, take care when handling the V.A.C.ULTA™ Therapy Unit while it is plugged into an AC wall outlet. In rare instances, discharge of static electricity when in contact with the therapy unit may cause the touch screen to darken, or the therapy unit to reset or turn off. If therapy does not restart by powering the unit off and then on, immediately contact KCI. To isolate the therapy unit from supply mains, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet. Do not block access to the plug or wall outlet.

Preparation for Use

Power cords may present a tripping hazard. Ensure that all cords are out of areas where people may walk.

23

1.

Plug the AC power cord into the DC power supply.

2.

Plug the AC wall plug into an AC wall outlet. DC power supply must remain accessible at all times to allow for immediate disconnect from power source, if necessary.

3.

Locate the arrow on the charging cord connector. The arrow should face up as the connector is plugged into the power connection on the V.A.C.ULTA™ Therapy Unit.

4.

A plug indicator appears on screen while the unit is plugged into a wall outlet.

Plug Indicator Battery Charging

It should take approximately four hours to fully recharge the battery. To maximize battery life, keep the unit plugged in whenever possible. When the V.A.C.ULTA™ Therapy Unit is correctly plugged into the V.A.C.ULTA™ Power Supply, the battery charging indicator light on the front of the unit (page 18) will glow amber while the battery is charging. When the battery has reached full charge the battery charging indicator light will glow green.

Therapy Unit Placement The V.A.C.ULTA™ Therapy Unit can be attached to an I.V. pole or the footboard of a hospital bed. If required, it can be placed on a solid, level surface where it does not cause an obstruction. The V.A.C.ULTA™ Therapy Unit should be placed where cables and tubes cannot be caught on passing objects. Power cords and tubing may present a tripping hazard. Ensure that all cords and tubing are out of areas where people may walk. The V.A.C.ULTA™ Therapy Unit is not to be carried or worn by an ambulatory patient. Consult your physician and contact KCI for V.A.C.® Therapy Units designed for ambulatory patient use. The V.A.C.ULTA™ Therapy Unit can be placed on an I.V. pole, bed frame or wheelchair during patient transport.
