10.6) Pump Operation Tips 1. Fluid Stagnation in Tubing (aka, “Vapor Lock”): This rare condition may occur when an exceptionally tight seal of the wound dressing facilitates a situation which interferes with fluid flow, preventing the proper removal of exudates from the wound site. This phenomenon is caused by a loss of differential pressure between the wound site and pump, which drives the motion of fluid removal.
