not provide the prescribed therapy.
Troubleshooting
Do not pause therapy or power Off device while performing the following
steps. Use the on-screen flow meter to help find and correct sources of the
leak. Assess the device after each step. Continue to next step only if alarm
remains unresolved.

edges. If your dressing begins to recompress, you have resealed the air
leak.
