A negative pressure wound therapy device can include a negative pressure source configured to provide, via a fluid flow path, negative pressure therapy to a wound covered by a wound dressing. The device can include electronic circuitry that includes a first processor configured to operate the negative pressure source and a second processor configured to operate a user interface and control the first processor. The second processor can be configured to, in response to detecting an error in operation of the first processor or the negative pressure source, reset the first processor or the negative pressure source and increment a first counter. Resetting the first processor or the negative pressure source can cause provision of the negative pressure therapy to be restored. In response to a determination that the first counter satisfies a first threshold, the second processor can deactivate provision of the negative pressure therapy.
