PICO◊ Single Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (sNPWT) System
The PICO Single Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (sNPWT) System is a medical device for wound care. It is typically used in the care of open wounds and surgical incisions.
Overview
The PICO Single Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (sNPWT) System – or PICO System, for short – is a medical device for wound care. It’s available to patients through healthcare providers and typically used in the care of open wounds and surgical incisions.
What about safety?
The PICO System pump contains a MAGNET. Be sure to keep the pump at least 4 inches (10 cm) away from other medical devices at all times. This applies to other medical devices you may be using, and the medical devices of people around you.
As with all electrical medical equipment, failure to maintain appropriate distance may disrupt the operation of nearby medical devices. These include but are not limited to:
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD)
Pacemakers
Insulin pumps
Shunt valves
Neurostimulators
Cochlear implants
THIS WARNING APPLIES AT ALL TIMES TO ALL USERS, including patients and caregivers.
