Claim 66:
67. A dressing interface for connecting a source of fluids to a tissue interface and sensing properties of fluids at a tissue site, the dressing interface comprising:
a housing having a body including an outside surface and a therapy cavity within the body, wherein the therapy cavity is defined between the outside surface and an opening configured to be in fluid communication with the tissue interface;
a sensor assembly disposed on the outside surface of the body and including a microprocessor, a pressure sensor electrically coupled to the microprocessor and having a sensing portion extending into the therapy cavity, and a pH sensor electrically coupled to the microprocessor and having a sensing portion extending into the therapy cavity;
a reduced-pressure port fluidly coupled to the therapy cavity and adapted to fluidly couple a reduced-pressure source to the tissue interface; and
a vent port fluidly coupled to the therapy cavity and adapted to fluidly couple a source of airflow to the therapy cavity.
