Taught patient/caregiver to notify SN immediately if: • You notice a significant change in the colour or consistency of the fluid in your canister. For example, if you see clear drainage turn cloudy or bright red. • You see excessive bleeding under the drape, in the tubing, or in the canister. • You observe increased redness or odour from the wound. • You experience increased pain. • The NPWT system is left off for more than two hours. • You change your medication.
