Abstract

See full text

Embodiments of negative pressure wound therapy devices and methods for controlling and operating such devices are disclosed. A negative pressure wound therapy apparatus can include a housing, a negative pressure source, a pressure sensor, and an electronic control circuitry. The negative pressure source can couple via a fluid flow path to a wound dressing covering a wound and provide negative pressure to the wound. The electronic controller circuitry can operate the negative pressure source, detect a presence of blockage in the fluid flow path based on comparing one or more peak-to-peak measurments of pressure in the fluid flow path measured by the pressure sensor to a threshold, and adjust the threshold responsive to a determination that the housing is positioned in a moving transporter. The moving transporter can be an automobile, train, or airplane.
