Claims17
A method for calibrating a control unit adapted to provide a negative pressure through a vacuum wound bandage associated with a wound of a patient, the method comprising
- positioning a first pressure sensor in communication with the control unit,
- correlating a first output of a second pressure sensor of the control unit to a first calibration pressure when the first pressure sensor senses the first calibration pressure, and
- correlating a second output of the second pressure sensor to a second calibration pressure when the second pressure sensor senses the second calibration pressure.
