Introduction; To Consider Before Use - Medela Invia Liberty Mode D'emploi

Introduction

With Invia Liberty you have selected a system for use in Negative Pressure Wound Therapy
(NPWT). The lightweight Invia Liberty pump provides an adjustable negative pressure range
and two therapy modes along with an electronic measuring and monitoring system. The pump
is quiet during operation and has optical and acoustic status alarms for patient safety.
Invia Liberty is portable and can be operated independent of the electrical outlet thanks to a
rechargeable battery. Acoustic and optical signals are triggered for variances from the set
