Use Instructions

8 | Safety information
– Prior to charging, always inspect the charger and the cord for damage. If damage
is found, immediately disconnect the charger and call the Medela Customer Service
or the system provider.
– Never operate the pump if it is not working properly, if it has been damaged
or dropped into water.
– Do not take the pump into a bathtub or shower.
– Never place or drop the pump into water or other liquids.
– If the pump has been exposed to water or other liquids, do not touch it. Disconnect
the pump from electrical outlet port, turn the pump off and contact the manufacturer.
– This pump contains lithium-ion batteries, which bears risk of fire, explosion and
burns.
– Do not disassemble, crash, or heat the Invia Ease pump above 212 °F (100 °C ),
do not incinerate or dispose of in fire.
12. System modification: Do not modify the Invia Ease pump or any of the system
components without authorization from the manufacturer.
13. Magnet: The Invia Ease pump contains a magnet, which may interfere with other
medical devices. Keep a distance of 00 xx between the pump and other medical
devices
14. Sterile products: Do not use the sterile products if the sterile packaging is damaged,
was opened prior to use or has expired.
15. Dressing application:
– For detailed dressing application information, indications, contraindications,
warnings and precautions consult the appropriate Invia dressing Instructions for Use.
– Wound dressing to be applied and changed by clinicians only.
– Perform a thorough wound cleansing per physician’s orders or facility protocol prior
to performing a dressing application.
– Always count the number of dressing filler pieces used in the wound and document
that number on the Transparent Film and in the patient’s chart. Make sure all pieces
are removed when a dressing is changed.
– Document the dressing change date on the Transparent Film and in the patient’s
chart.
– Sharp edges/bone fragments must be eliminated from the wound area or covered
to prevent puncturing blood vessels or organs.
– Do not place dressing filler into blind and/or unexplored tunnels.
– Do not force dressing fillers into any area of the wound, as this may damage tissue,
alter the delivery of negative pressure, or hinder exudate and dressing filler removal.
– Do not place the dressing filler directly on exposed blood vessels, organs, nerves,
tendons, bones or ligaments. When using the Invia Ease NPWT system in close
proximity to these structures, a protective barrier such as a non-adherent wound
contact layer must be used.
– Avoid circumferential dressing application.
– Consider the use of a protective barrier on skin that may come in contact with the
tubing, especially in patients with fragile skin.
– When treating infected wounds or wounds more susceptible to tissue in-growth into
wound filler material, more frequent dressing changes or a non-adherent wound
contact layer may be needed. The frequency of dressing changes should be based
on an evaluation of the wound characteristics rather than standard recommendations.
– For closed surgical incision the recommended pressure level is –125 mmHg at
constant mode.
