Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for regulating the delivery of negative-pressure therapy are described. The system includes a negative-pressure source, an energy source, and a switch. The switch can include a first conductor electrically coupled to the negative-pressure source, a second conductor electrically coupled to the energy source, and a diaphragm having a first position electrically coupling the first conductor to the second conductor and a second position separated from the first conductor and the second conductor. The diaphragm is configured to move between the first position and the second position in response to a differential between a control pressure and a therapy pressure.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A system for providing negative pressure therapy, the system comprising: a negative-pressure source; an energy source; and a switch comprising: a housing forming a chamber and having a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet and an ambient pressure opening; a first conductor electrically coupled to the negative-pressure source; a second conductor electrically coupled to the energy source, the first conductor and the second conductor being positioned on opposite…
