Insert the canister into the 3M™ Prevena™ Incision Management System Therapy Unit, and slide inward until canister clicks. Connect the dressing tubing to the canister tubing by twisting the connectors until they lock. DO NOT use if package has been torn or the sterile seal has been compromised. Remove the 45ml Canister from the sterile package. Firmly press around the dressing to ensure a good seal where the adhesive contacts the skin. Remove the remaining bottom adhesive covers by grasping the bottom tabs and gently pulling. Orient the dressing on the patient to eliminate sharp bends/kinks in the tubing. Center and apply the dressing over the closed wound or incision ensuring that the adhesive will not contact or cover the surgical closure. Gently peel back the center strip on the back of the dressing, exposing the pull tabs and adhesive.

If at any time while using the 3M™ Prevena™ Incision Management System, the canister becomes full of fluid other than blood, indicated by a Maximum Capacity Alert or visual inspection, the patient should turn therapy unit off and contact the treating physician.įor maximum benefit the 3M™ Prevena™ Incision Management System should be applied immediately post surgery to clean surgically closed wounds. If therapy is reinitiated after HBO treatment, do not readhere the same dressing a new dressing must be reapplied. Do not take the 3M™ Prevena™ Incision Management System or Incision Dressing into a hyperbaric oxygen chamber it is not designed for this environment and should be considered a fire hazard. The Incision Dressing contains metallic silver that may impair visualization with certain imaging modalities. The Incision Dressing should pose no known hazards in an MR environment with the following conditions of use: static magnetic field of 3 Tesla or less, spatial gradient field of 720 Gauss/cm or less, and maximum whole-body-averaged specific absorption rate (SAR) of 3W/kg for 15 minutes of scanning. Interruption of Therapy during an MRI may reduce the effectiveness of therapy. The Incision Dressing can typically remain on the patient with minimal risk in an MR environment. Do not take the Therapy Unit into the MR environment.
The 3M™ Prevena™ Incision Management System is MR Unsafe. Failure to remove the dressing may inhibit transmission of electrical energy and/or patient resuscitation. Remove the Incision Dressing if defibrillation is required in the area of the dressing placement. If infection develops, therapy should be discontinued until the infection is treated. Silver in the interface layer of the Incision Dressing is not intended to treat infection, but to reduce bacterial colonization in the fabric. Some signs or complications of systemic infection are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, fainting, sore throat with swelling of the mucus membranes, disorientation, high fever, refractory and/or orthostatic hypotension, or erythroderma (a sunburn-like rash). Infection can be serious, and can lead to complications such as pain, discomfort, fever, gangrene, toxic shock, septic shock, and/or fatal injury. Some signs of infection are fever, tenderness, redness, swelling, itching, rash, increased warmth in the wound or periwound area, purulent discharge, or strong odor. As with any wound treatment, clinicians and patients/caregivers should frequently monitor the patient's wound, periwound tissue and exudate for signs of infection or other complications. If active bleeding develops suddenly or in large amounts during therapy, or if frank blood is seen in the tubing or canister, the patient should leave the Incision dressing in place, turn off Therapy Unit and seek immediate emergency medical assistance. Before applying the 3M™ Prevena™ Incision Management System to patients who are at risk of bleeding complications due to the operative procedure or concomitant therapies and/or co-morbidities, ensure that homeostasis has been achieved and all tissue planes have been approximated.
