The bag and straps are single patient use. The bag itself can be wiped down with standard cleaning agents between dressing changes. Bags and straps should not be shared between patients.

Testing has not been carried out on the RENASYS GO device so Smith & Nephew cannot advise that the device is used when flying. As a result the device should be turned off and conventional dressings used during the flight.

Smith & Nephew provide guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting RENASYS devices, these guidelines should be followed in-line with local Infection Control Trust Policy.

A copy of the cleaning and disinfecting guidelines is available from Smith & Nephew customer care team, marketing team and your local Smith & Nephew Territory Manager or Clinical Specialist. You can view a copy by clicking here.

Before a device is returned clinicians must perform a clean of the device. Local Infection Control policy must be followed and Smith & Nephew provide guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting devices which you can view by clicking here.

RENASYS GO and EZ PLUS is contra indicated in the presence of:

• Necrotic tissue with eschar
• Untreated osteomyelitis
• Malignancy in wound (with exception of palliative care to enhance quality of life)
• Exposed arteries, veins, organs or nerves
• Non-enteric and unexplored fistulas
• Anastomotic sites

The RENASYS GO device is a single lumen device. If the dressing is firm, dry and compressed, this indicates the machine is suctioning properly and there is no blockage at the dressing end. As wounds heal they produce less exudate. As the exudate level builds up in the wound, exudate currently in the tubing will be pushed into the canister.

You can shower but not bath To shower you must disconnect the device first.

• The RENASYS GO should be placed on pause by pressing the Select button once or the machine turned off by pressing the keylock button then the power button.
• The dressing tubing should be clamped, disconnected from the canister tubing and the tubing caps applied to both ends. The RENASYS GO is now disconnected from the dressing and dressing tubing.
• The dressing should remain in situ and a shower can be taken.
• Once you are dry, the caps can be undone from both ends of the tubing and the tubing can be re-connected.
• The clamp should then be undone from the dressing tubing and the RENASYS GO device restarted.

DO NOT TAKE THE RENASYS GO DEVICE INTO THE SHOWER.

Intermittent therapy mode = 5 minutes ON/2 minutes OFF.

The settings for RENASYS GO & EZ PLUS are 40mmHg - 120mmHg. RENASYS GO devices are sent out from Smith & Nephew set at -80mmHg and any pressure above -50mmHg is considered efficacious however the management of the exudate needs to be considered and pressures between -80mmHg and -120mmHg are deemed appropriate for this.

Our guidelines on therapy settings are general recommendations. You may wish to vary the pressure settings to optimise NPWT therapy based on individual patient need and the lead clinician's guidance.

Negative pressure may be increased where:

• High levels of exudate/excessive drainage
• Large wound volume/size
• There is a tenuous seal/positional difficulties maintaining the seal

High pressure may cause tissue necrosis and increase pain for patients. Careful consideration and consultation with the lead clinician should be sought prior to exceeding -120 mmHg.

Negative pressure may be decreased where:

• Pain or discomfort is not relieved by appropriate analgesia
• The patient is elderly and/or nutritionally compromised
• There is a risk of excessive bleeding (for example, patients on anticoagulation therapy)
• The circulation is compromised (for example, peripheral arterial disease)
• There is excessive granulation tissue growth
• With pressures lower than -40mmHg consider discontinuing therapy

The table below shows some suggested pressures for different wounds types:

WOUND TYPE	Suggested Filler	Pressure Setting
Acute/Traumatic	Gauze or Foam	-80 to - 120mmHg
Cardiothoracic (partial thickness)	Foam	-80 to - 120mmHg
Partial Thickness Abdominal muscle intact)	Gauze or Foam	-80 to - 120mmHg
Pressure Ulcers	Gauze	-60 to -80mmHg
Diabetic foot ulcers post-surgery	Gauze	-60 to -80mmHg
Diabetic foot ulcers	Gauze or Foam	-60 to -80mmHg
Meshed grafts/bioengineered tissue	Gauze	-50 to - 80mmHg
Flaps	Gauze	-50 to-80mmHg
Dehisced surgical wounds	Foam	-80 to - 120mmHg
Chronic wounds	Gauze	-80mmHg
Enteric fistula (inclusion of fistula in the dressing)	Gauze	-80mmHg
Enteric fistula (isolation of fistula)	Gauze or Foam	-80mmHg
