Abstract:
A negative pressure wound therapy system includes a wound dressing and a suction device configured to be in fluid communication with the wound dressing via a conduit to channel a fluid between at least the wound dressing and the suction device. The suction device includes a vacuum connection configured to be coupled to the conduit, a vacuum pump, an analog electronic pressure sensor in electrical communication with the vacuum pump, and a passive valve assembly. The passive valve assembly is in fluid communication with (1) the vacuum pump, (2), the analog electronic pressure sensor, and (3) the vacuum connection, and is configured to maintain the vacuum pump in fluid communication with the vacuum connection within a predefined pressure range, and to passively inhibit fluid communication between the vacuum pump and the vacuum connection outside of the predefined pressure range.

Claim (Index 17):
The method of  claim 16 , further comprising:\n (k) fluidically connecting the pressure sensor to a passive valve assembly, wherein the passive valve assembly comprises:\n an interior configured to receive negative pressure from the pump; \n an ambient vent outlet; \n a vacuum outlet; \n a sensor outlet; \n a first moveable occluder configured to close and open the ambient vent outlet with respect to the interior in response to pressure conditions within the interior; and \n a second moveable occluder configured to close and open the vacuum outlet with respect to the interior in response to pressure conditions within the interior; \n (l) limiting the maximum pressure in the fluidic pathway with the passive valve assembly; and (m) preventing backflow in the fluidic pathway.
