• Remove the sterile hose system from the sterile wrapping.
• Connect the Luer-Lock with the bacterial filter
secretion canister by a clockwise rotation.
• Connect the second Luer-Lock connection to the lower connection of the canister
clockwise rotation.
• Perform a leakage test (see chapter „4.4 Leakage test" on page 22).
• Use the sterile hose connector, supplied with the hose system, to connect the hose system to
any drainage catheter of your choice. Alternatively you can also use conventional sterile
y-connectors or hose connectors.
The vacuum is measured directly at the drain with the measuring and rinsing channel. A
bacterial filter at the measuring and rinsing channel prevents the penetration of bacteria into the
device.
The double-lumen hose system must be connected to the device on both channels (measuring-,
rinsing- and secretion channel). The hose system is a single-use product for use with one patient
only.
The use of other hose systems may lead to damage of the device.
