Apparatus, Method, And System For Controlling Negative-Pressure Treatment

摘要

In one example embodiment, an apparatus for providing negative-pressure therapy may comprise a negative-pressure source, a pressure sensor, and a control valve. The negative-pressure source may be configured to be fluidly coupled to a distribution component. The control valve may be fluidly coupled to the pressure sensor and configured to be selectively coupled to the negative-pressure source, the distribution component, or both. A controller may also be configured to operate the control valve to selectively couple the pressure sensor to at least one of the negative-pressure source and the distribution component through the control valve, and the pressure sensor may provide a feedback signal to the controller indicative of pressure in a feedback path associated with the position of the control valve. The controller may also be configured to operate the negative-pressure source based on the feedback signal.

1. An apparatus for providing negative-pressure therapy, the apparatus comprising:
a negative-pressure source configured to be fluidly coupled to a distribution component; a pressure sensor; a control valve fluidly coupled to the pressure sensor and configured to be selectively coupled to at least one of the negative-pressure source and the distribution component; and a controller coupled to the control valve and to the pressure sensor, the controller configured to:
actuate the control valve to selectively couple the pressure sensor to at least one of the negative-pressure source and the distribution component through the control valve, andreceive a feedback signal from the pressure sensor.
