My PICO dressing is constantly buzzing!!! Every few seconds! It’s getting very annoying and I’ve had to turn it off a couple of times. Only the green light is flashing, no orange lights, the dressings itself feels tight and hard so I know it’s vacuumed, and just in case I did put extra dressings around the outside. Still nothing! I’ve tried turning it off and on again a couple of times too, but no success. Do I need to go back and replace it for a new one? Or should I just stick with it and cope with the buzzing?
I had a PICO dressing and mine only buzzed occasionally. I think in your position I'd phone my BCNS, or the dressings clinic, and ask their advice.
