Re-use of the single use product may create a potential harm to the user.
Reprocessing, washing, disinfection and/or sterilization may compromise

How to use

Preparation

Cut a hole in the base plate to fit the exact size and shape
of the stoma using a pair of small curved scissors and the
cutting guide on the base plate.
You can use the enclosed stoma measuring guide to
measure the size and shape of the stoma.
An exact fit between the hole and the stoma is important to
reduce the risk of leakage and skin problems.
Thoroughly clean the stoma and the surrounding skin area.
The skin must be completely dry before application of the
base plate.

Application

Peel off the protective film from the base plate.
Align the adhesive around the stoma and press it firmly onto
the skin.
The adhesive must fit snugly around the stoma. To prevent
leakage it is important to ensure a tight seal around the
stoma. When applying pressure to the baseplate/bag on the
abdomen, begin in the area around the stoma and press
the adhesive to the skin. Run a finger all the way around
the stoma to ensure that the adhesive seals. Smooth
the adhesive down, starting from the stoma and moving
outwards to the edges, to ensure that the adhesive has
made full contact with the skin.
Apply pressure on the pouch to ensure fast adhesion and a
perfect fit between the base plate and the skin around the
stoma.
Please remember to close the outlet before use.
The outlet can be hidden in the pocket on the front to make
it more comfortable and discreet.
(Only applies for bags with textile front.)

Emptying/Drainage

Hold the plug/end of the outlet upwards and squeeze the
outer end of outlet, pull out the plug, and relax your hold
on the outlet and then drain the pouch. After complete
drainage, ensure that the outlet is firmly closed with the
plug fully inserted.

Removal

Gently remove the pouch by pulling the removal ear on the
base plate away from the stomach and roll the base plate
slowly downwards.
Apply light pressure on your skin with your free hand to
help removal.

Disposal

The product is intended for single use only and should be disposed of in
accordance with local guidelines, e.g. with normal household waste.
Do not flush the product down the toilet.
Bedside drainage bag
For greater security we suggest you use the Coloplast
Bedside Drainage bag, specially designed to connect
directly to the SenSura Mio High Output ostomy bag.
Filter label
If required, to prevent gas from escaping, place one of the
enclosed filter labels on the filter.

Belt

Adjust the belt length, by pulling the straps, so it fits your
body. There is no need to remove the fabric covering the
buckle.
Attach each of the four belt hooks to one of the four belt
ears on either side of the base plate. Start from the front
and apply a light pressure towards the stomach. Then pull
the belt hooks away from the coupling, until they "click" in
place.
(Only applies for products with belt ears.)
