iOn PROGRESS™ Remote Therapy Monitoring Delivers At-Home Monitoring Services.

Behind every wound is a person trying to find their normal again. The iOn PROGRESS™ Remote Therapy Monitoring System remotely transmits usage data from a cellular-enabled ACTIV.A.C.™ Therapy System directly to KCI's iOn PROGRESS™ Care Network to shed light on the nonclinical elements that might inhibit at-home adherence to prescribed negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT).
 
The iOn PROGRESS™ Care Network engages with patients, where necessary, with education, coaching, collaboration with caregivers, and support from KCI to help patients get back to their life as usual.

 

Overview

About

The Proven Power of ACTIV.A.C.™ Therapy, Now with a Built-In Support Network

 

Patient Enrollment


  1. 1. Patients prescribed ACTIV.A.C.™ Therapy at home are deemed eligible by their insurance provider
 
2. At the start of therapy, the patient is assigned a Virtual Therapy Specialist (VTS) to monitor therapy adherence as a clinically trained wound care resource and an expert in V.A.C.® Therapy
 
3. The VTS initiates the program by conducting a welcome call with the patient to enroll him or her in the program
 
4. A patient will work with the same VTS throughout his or her use of NPWT
 
 

 

Monitoring & Engagement

 
1. Once therapy begins, data about device usage is transmitted from the ACTIV.A.C.™ Therapy System to the VTS through a HIPAA-compliant secure connection
 
2. If the VTS notices irregularities or lapses in device usage, he or she can call the patient to determine what challenges are prohibiting proper therapy adherence
 
3. The VTS attempts to understand the root causes, provide troubleshooting, help, edcuation coaching or other communication to get the patient back on track
 
4. Throughout therapy, the VTS remains an active resource helping the patient take control of his or her healing journey
 

 

Escalation

 
In the event a problem cannot be solved with a patient directly, the VTS will escalate to the patient's primary clinical provider. While insight and advice may be provided by the VTS, any decision regarding patient care is redirected by the clinician.

Indications for Use

Before use, physicians should review complete risk information and essential prescribing information which can be found in the Instructions for Use.
 
The V.A.C.® Therapy System is an integrated wound management system for use in acute, extended and home care settings. It is intended to create an environment that promotes wound healing by secondary or tertiary (delayed primary) intention by preparing the wound bed for closure, reducing edema, promoting granulation tissue formation and perfusion, and by removing exudate and infectious material. It is indicated for patients with chronic, acute, traumatic, subacute and dehisced wounds, partial-thickness burns, ulcers (such as diabetic, venous insufficiency or pressure), flaps and grafts.
 
When used on closed surgical incisions, it is intended to manage the environment of surgical incisions that continue to drain following sutured or staple closure by maintaining a closed environment and removing exudates via the application of NPWT.
 

Note: Indications apply to the V.A.C.® Therapy System unit only and do not apply to iOn PROGRESS™ Remote Therapy Monitoring.
