Welcome
Dear Valued Customer,
Welcome to Apria — your home healthcare provider for Negative Pressure Wound
Therapy (NPWT) equipment and supplies. Your doctor has prescribed the
following items as part of your wound treatment: a specially-designed portable
NPWT pump, NPWT supplies, and the dressings you will need for your
individualized therapy.
No matter where or how severe your wound, and no matter what other health
problems you may currently be facing, we share your desire to achieve the best
possible outcome.
Initial Delivery
An Apria technician will deliver your initial kit, containing everything you
need to begin treatment,before you leave the hospital or soon after you return
home. Your initial kit will include a NPWT pump and plug, tubing, canisters
and dressings to last the first week. Your Apria technician will show you how
to turn the pump on and off and how to charge the pump so it is ready when the
home nurse, prescribed by your doctor, visits to set up the equipment and
begin your home therapy.
You will also receive user guides, or will be instructed on how to download
these user guides, about your equipment and home care published by the
equipment manufacturer. It is important that you read and understand the
material in these user guides before you begin your therapy, so that you are
well informed about the operation of your equipment and equipment alarms, what
to expect during therapy, how to safely operate and maintain your equipment,
when to call your healthcare provider, and who to contact if you need
assistance.
Shipment of First Month’s Supplies

supplies will arrive at your home in 5 to 7 days, which should provide enough
supplies for your first 30 days of therapy.
Shipment of Additional Supplies
Apria will ship additional supplies each month, as needed, for as long as your
doctor prescribes them.
You will receive an automated phone call approximately 20 days from initial
setup to confirm your approval to ship additional supplies for therapy, based
on your doctor’s prescription. If you miss the call,it is important that you
call us back 10 days prior to running low on supplies.
Inspection of Shipments and Monitoring of Supplies
Please be sure to immediately inspect all shipments upon receipt. Please
contact us right away if you have any questions or if, for any reason, you
believe your order is not complete.
An Apria NPWT Support Team member will contact you regularly about your supply
needs, reminding you to order fresh dressing kits. If, however, you anticipate
running short on supplies before your next scheduled delivery, please call us
to reorder. For continuous and proper care of your wound, please make sure
that you have at least 5 days’ worth of supplies on-hand at all times.
Equipment Maintenance and Disposal
Please clean and store the NPWT pump in accordance with the manufacturer
specifications described in the equipment user guides provided by the
manufacturer. If your equipment is damaged or malfunctions at any time, please

Healthy Habits that Help Stop the Spread of Germs
Infection is one of the greatest dangers to a healing wound. While using your NPWT system, make sure to follow the recommendations below to help prevent the spread of germs.
The Proper Handwashing Technique
- Turn on the faucet and adjust the water to a lukewarm temperature. Leave the water running.
- Wet your hands and wrists under the running water and apply soap.
- Rub your hands together to make a lather and scrub them well. Start at your fingertips and move upward beyond your wrists.
- Continue rubbing your hands for at least 20 seconds. Need a timer? Hum the “Happy Birthday” song from beginning to end twice.
- With the water still running, dry your hands and wrists using a paper towel.
- Turn off the faucet using the same paper towel.
If soap and water are unavailable, you can also clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
Cover Your Cough
Germs travel far when you sneeze without covering your nose and mouth.
A sneeze can travel up to 12 feet, and reaches speeds up to 100 miles per
hour!
So, cover your nose and mouth with a tissue or paper towel. If you don’t have
one available, sneeze into the crook of your elbow
- Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze.
- Put your used tissues or paper towels in a waste basket.
- You may be asked to put on a mask to protect yourself and others.
- Whenever you cough or sneeze, make sure to clean your hands.
