Reduced pressure therapy apparatuses and methods of using same
First Claim
1. A pump assembly for reduced pressure wound therapy, comprising:
- a housing;
a pump positioned in the housing;
a control board positioned in the housing;
a pressure sensor in electric communication with the control board, the pressure sensor being configured to monitor a level of pressure under a wound dressing fluidically coupleable with the pump assembly; and
a manifold positioned in the housing, the manifold comprising a first port in fluid communication with the pressure sensor, a second port in fluid communication with the pump, and a third port fluidically coupleable with the wound dressing.

Abstract
Some embodiments comprise a pump assembly for reduced pressure wound therapy, comprising a housing, a flow pathway through the pump, one or more valves in communication with the flow pathway, a pump supported within or by the housing, and a one-way flow valve in fluid communication with the pump. The pump assembly can have a pressure sensor in communication with the flow pathway through the pump, and at least one switch or button supported by the housing, the at least one switch or button being accessible to a user and being in communication with the controller. The one-way flow valve can be configured to substantially prevent a flow of gas through the one-way flow valve in a direction of flow away from the pump. The pump assembly can have a controller supported within or by the housing, the controller being configured to control an operation of the pump. The pump has been sterilized following the assembly of the pump such that an inside and an outside of the housing, the flow pathway, the one or more valves, the pump, the controller, the battery compartment, and the at least one switch or button have been sterilized.
