![]() ![]() LCD L11578, Pressure Reducing Support Surfaces - Group 1Ĭodes E0185 and E0197-E0199 termed "pressure pad for mattress" describe non-powered pressure reducing mattress overlays. ![]() Canisters may be various sizes to accommodate stationary or portable NPWT pumps. HCPCS Code A7000 describes a canister set which is used in conjunction with a stationary or portable NPWT pump and contains all necessary components, including but not limited to a container, to collect wound exudate. A single code A6550 is used for each single, complete dressing change, and contains all necessary components, including but not limited to any separate, non-adherent porous dressing(s), drainage tubing, and an occlusive dressing(s) which creates a seal around the wound site for maintaining sub-atmospheric pressure at the wound. HCPCS Code A6550 describes an allowance for a dressing set which is used in conjunction with a stationary or portable NPWT pump (E2402). ![]() The system must contain sensors and alarms to monitor pressure variations and exudate volume in the collection canister. The NPWT pump must be capable of being selectively switched between continuous and intermittent modes of operation and is controllable to adjust the degree of sub-atmospheric pressure conveyed to the wound in a range of 40-80 mm Hg sub-atmospheric pressure. HCPCS Code E2402 describes a stationary or portable Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) electrical pump which provides controlled sub-atmospheric pressure that is designed for use with NPWT dressings (A6550) and canisters (A7000) to promote wound healing.
