The double lumen hose system transfers the controlled
vacuum generated by the device. The secretion hose
drains fluids and air into the secretion canister. The
measuring and rinsing hose measures and regulates the
vacuum applied on the patient's side. A bacterial and viral
filter on the measuring and rinsing hose protects against
contamination with bacteria and viruses. At defined time
intervals, a valve opens in order to direct air through the
measuring and rinsing hose into the secretion hose and
to rinse liquids, coagulum and other blockages into the
secretion canister.
Chest tubes on the patient's side are connected to the
hose system via the port.
Transport of fluids and air from the thorax.
Measurement and regulation of the vacuum on the
