Intended Use

The V.A.C.® Therapy System is an integrated wound management system for use in acute, extended and home care settings. It is intended to create an environment that promotes wound healing by secondary or tertiary (delayed primary) intention by preparing the wound bed for closure, reducing edema, promoting granulation tissue formation and perfusion, and by removing exudate and infectious material. It is indicated for patients with chronic, acute, traumatic, subacute and dehisced wounds, partial-thickness burns, ulcers (such as diabetic or pressure), flaps and grafts. The V.A.C.® GranuFoam® Silver™ Dressing is an effective barrier to bacterial penetration and may help reduce infection in the above wound types.

Device Story

ActiV.A.C.® Therapy Unit is a software-controlled negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) device for acute, extended, and home care settings. Device applies negative pressure to wound bed via connected V.A.C.® Foam Dressing; tubing transfers exudate to collection canister. Software monitors target pressure, maintains constant therapy, and triggers alarms for blockages, full/missing canisters, inactive therapy, low battery, or dressing leaks. Ancillary features include Seal Check™ for leak detection, Therapy Settings Guide, screen guard, and data export (IrDA/USB) for therapy history and log tools. Operated by clinicians or patients/caregivers. Output allows monitoring of wound healing progress and therapy adherence. Benefits include edema reduction, granulation tissue formation, perfusion, and removal of infectious material/exudate.

Clinical Evidence

No new clinical trials conducted. Safety and effectiveness supported by existing clinical data from randomized controlled trials, literature, and registry/MDR databases for the predicate V.A.C. Freedom® unit. Engineering analysis confirms equivalence in negative pressure delivery and improvements in safety/usability features for home care.

Technological Characteristics

Powered suction pump; software-controlled; negative pressure delivery. Features: IrDA/USB data ports, alarm system (blockage, leak, canister status), Seal Check™ diagnostic, therapy history logging. Connectivity: Data export via IrDA or USB. Sterilization: Not specified (device is a reusable pump unit).

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with chronic, acute, traumatic, subacute, and dehisced wounds, partial-thickness burns, ulcers (diabetic or pressure), flaps, and grafts.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A powered suction pump is a portable, AC-powered or compressed air-powered device intended to be used to remove infectious materials from wounds or fluids from a patient's airway or respiratory support system. The device may be used during surgery in the operating room or at the patient's bedside. The device may include a microbial filter.
