The clear drape is waterproof and you may wash or shower with dressings in place if: - You are disconnected from the therapy unit. - The tubing is clamped. - You take care not to soak the dressing. The therapy unit is an electrical system and should not become wet. If dressings become soiled, gently clean with mild soap and water. If the THERAPY ON/OFF button is accidentally turned off, push the same button to turn the unit back on. The system will return to all the right settings and therapy will continue.
