Claim 44:
45. 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 comprising a first portion and a second portion;
a therapy cavity disposed in the first portion of the body;
a sensor cavity disposed in the second portion of the body;
an upper surface separating the first portion and the second portion, the first portion being defined between the upper surface and an opening opposite the upper surface and the second portion being defined between the upper surface and a wall; and
a flange surrounding the opening;

a reduced-pressure port fluidly coupled to the therapy cavity and adapted to fluidly couple a reduced-pressure source to the tissue interface;
a vent port fluidly coupled to the therapy cavity and adapted to fluidly couple a source of airflow to the therapy cavity;
a control device having a microprocessor and a wireless transmitter disposed on the wall and electrically coupled to each other;
a pressure sensor having a sensing portion disposed within the sensor cavity and fluidly coupled to a pressure sensing port adapted to be coupled to a conduit, and electrically coupled to the microprocessor through the wall; and
a pH sensor having a sensing portion disposed within the sensing cavity and fluidly coupled to a pH sensing port adapted to be coupled to a conduit, and electrically coupled to the microprocessor through the wall.
