❼
Pick up one glove by the wrist and put it on. Pick up the other glove by the wrist and put it on the other hand.
Both gloves fit either hand. Be careful not to let the outside of the gloves come in contact with anything nons-
terile for example clothing or skin. The outside of the gloves needs to remain sterile.
❽
Tear open the three alcohol pads but do not remove the pads from the pouches. Place the pads on the blue
wrapping.
❾
Remove the twist tie that holds together the drainage tube. Put the bottle back on the open pouch. Do not
remove the protective cap on the end of the drainage tube yet.
Connecting the Drainage Bottle to the catheter
❿
Squeeze the tube clamp on the drainage line completely closed.
Hold the catheter valve end in one hand and vigorously clean the valve surface and around the valve with one
of the alcohol pads.
Remove the protective cap from the connector on the drainage tube and align it in the center of the silicone
valve surface.
Push the connector into the silicone valve and twist clockwise to close. The connection must be tight to open
the valve and allow the flow of fluid.

Make sure the connection is tight.
Draining fluid into the bottle
Drainage is possible using two procedures. The drainage can be carried out by using a low vacuum and gravity or
by exclusively using gravity.
1. Use of low vacuum and gravity:
Loosen the green sliding clamp until it is no longer closed.
Slowly loosen the tube clamp on the drainage tube so that the fluid can start to flow.
The fluid flows into the vacuum bottle. The flow and the suction can be regulated by partially closing the clamp.
Note: Should no fluid or only a very small amount of fluid flow out at the beginning, check the tightness of the
connection between the connector and the valve.
The vacuum in the bottle has been used after a few minutes and no more fluid drains off.
The drainage can now be continued with using gravity by the white sliding clamp on the ventilation filter
being opened.
Note: The fluid flow can become slower if the fluid has almost been fully drained off. When no more fluid is drained
off or the prescribed drainage volume has been reached, fully close the tube clamp on the drainage clamp.
Dispose of the gloves.
2. Gravitation drainage:
Loosen the white sliding clamp until the green clamping piece with the ventilation filter is no longer closed.
The bottle no longer contains a vacuum. Drainage is now immediately possible by gravitation.
Loosen the green sliding clamp until the green clamping piece is no longer clamped.
Loosen the tube clamp on the drainage tube so that the fluid can start to flow.
The fluid flows into the bottle.
Note: Should no fluid or only a very small amount of fluid flow out at the beginning, check the tightness of the
connection between the connector and the valve.
The fluid flow can become slower if the fluid has almost been fully drained off. When no more fluid is drained
off or the prescribed drainage volume has been reached, fully close the tube clamp on the drainage clamp.
Dispose of the gloves.
