Intended Use

The V.A.C. Simplicity™ 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, pressure or venous insufficiency), flaps and grafts.

Device Story

V.A.C. Simplicity™ is a negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) unit; delivers continuous negative pressure (-125 mmHg) to wound bed via V.A.C.® Foam Dressing System; transfers wound exudates into a canister. Used in acute, extended, and home care settings; operated by clinicians or patients. Software monitors target pressure; triggers alarms for blockages, low battery, or leaks. Output allows healthcare providers to manage wound healing by promoting granulation, reducing edema, and removing infectious material/exudate. Benefits include wound bed preparation for closure.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical studies conducted. Bench testing confirmed ability to deliver NPWT at -125 mmHg equivalent to predicate. Usability studies performed with 30 subjects (home care nurses and patients) to validate ease of use and labeling comprehension in home/extended care environments.

Technological Characteristics

Powered suction pump for NPWT. Delivers fixed -125 mmHg pressure. Uses V.A.C.® Foam Dressing System with occlusive drape. Pressure sensing via sensing pad in tubing line. Software-controlled pump with alarm system (blockage, low battery, leak). Compliant with electrical safety and electromagnetic emissions standards.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with chronic, acute, traumatic, subacute, and dehisced wounds, partial-thickness burns, ulcers (diabetic, pressure, venous insufficiency), flaps, and grafts. For use in acute, extended, and home care settings.

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.
