24.5.14.5 Pulsatile Jet Irrigation Wound Care System
A pulsatile jet irrigation wound care system consists of a pistol-style hand piece with a trigger to control the pulsatile jet. A suction pump is used to remove the fluid. The wound is then dressed using standard wound care supplies.
Dressing changes associated with a pulsatile jet irrigation wound care system are performed every one to three days depending on the amount of exudate produced by the wound. An RN is required to perform a pulsatile jet irrigation wound care system dressing change.
Use procedure code L-E1399 for a pulsatile jet irrigation wound care system.
