Patent ID: 8500718

Claim:
A system for performing tissue therapy, comprising: a processing unit; a reduced pressure source; a conduit fluidly connected between said reduced pressure source and a tissue site of a patient, said conduit configured to apply a reduced pressure produced by said reduced pressure source to the tissue site; a drape configured for positioning over the tissue site to maintain the reduced pressure at the tissue site; a fluid sensor in fluid communication with said conduit and electrical communication with said processing unit, said fluid sensor configured to sense a fluid parameter within said conduit and generate a fluid sensor signal in response to sensing the fluid parameter, said fluid sensor altering the fluid sensor signal in response to sensing that the fluid parameter within said conduit changes; and a speaker in communication with said processing unit, said processing unit configured to communicate a fluid leak location signal to said speaker to generate an audible fluid leak location sound based on said fluid sensor sensing the fluid parameter in said conduit, the audible fluid leak location sound having an ON state and an OFF state, and being variable while in the ON state, said processing unit further configured to alter the fluid leak location signal to change the audible fluid leak location sound while in the ON state in response to the fluid sensor signal being altered.
