3. Connect the 5-in-1 adapter to the suction source.
4. Remove the cover with the lockable access tip by
twisting it and pulling gently. Discard the cover.
(Figure 7)
5. Insert the lockable access tip on the drainage line
securely into the catheter valve. You will feel and
hear a click when the lockable access tip and
valve are securely connected. (Figure 8)
6. If desired, lock the access tip to the catheter
valve by twisting the access tip until you feel and
hear a second click. (Figure 9)
Caution: Make sure that the valve and the lockable
access tip are securely connected when draining. If
they are accidentally separated, they may become
contaminated. If this occurs, clean the valve with an
alcohol pad and use a new drainage line to avoid
potential contamination.
Caution: Precautions should be taken to ensure the
drainage line is not tugged or pulled.
Connect the Drainage Line to Glass Vacuum
Bottle(s)
Caution: Keep the valve on the PleurX Catheter and
the lockable access tip on the drainage line clean.
Keep them away from other objects to help avoid
contamination.
Caution: When draining with glass vacuum bottles,
do not use a needle larger than 17 G.
1. Close the roller clamp completely by rolling the
wheel on the roller clamp toward the glass
vacuum bottle. (Figure 6)
Caution: The roller clamp must be fully closed to
occlude the drainage line. When not connected to a
glass vacuum bottle, make sure the roller clamp is
fully closed; otherwise the drainage line may allow
air into the body or let fluid leak out.
Caution: Before connecting to a glass vacuum
bottle, close the roller clamp completely by rolling
the wheel on the roller clamp towards the glass
vacuum bottle; otherwise it is possible for some, or
all of the vacuum in the bottle to be lost.
2. Attach a 17 G needle to the Luer fitting on the
drainage line.
3. Connect the 17 G needle to the glass vacuum
bottle.
4. Remove the cover with the lockable access tip by
twisting it and pulling gently. Discard the cover.
(Figure 7)
5. Insert the lockable access tip on the drainage line
securely into the catheter valve. You will feel and
hear a click when the lockable access tip and
valve are securely connected. (Figure 8)
6. If desired, lock the access tip to the catheter
valve by twisting the access tip until you feel and
hear a second click. (Figure 9)

Caution: Make sure that the valve and the lockable
access tip are securely connected when draining. If
they are accidentally separated, they may become
contaminated. If this occurs, clean the valve with an

potential contamination.
Caution: Precautions should be taken to ensure the
drainage line is not tugged or pulled.
Drain Fluid
Caution: It is normal for the patient to feel some
discomfort or pain when draining fluid. If discomfort
or pain is experienced when draining, roll the wheel
on the roller clamp towards the suction source to
slow or stop the flow of fluid for a few minutes. Pain
may be an indication of infection.
1. Roll the wheel on the roller clamp away from the
suction source to begin drainage. (Figure 10)
When fluid begins to drain, you may roll the
wheel on the roller clamp toward the suction
source to slow the flow of fluid.
2. If you need to change the glass vacuum
bottle/canister/water seal device or suction
source for any reason, remove the drainage line
from the suction source and connect to a new
suction source. Roll the wheel on the roller
clamp away from the suction source to resume
draining.
3. When fluid flow stops or the desired amount of
fluid has been removed, completely close the
roller clamp by rolling the wheel on the roller
clamp toward the suction source. (Figure 6)
Finish Drainage
1. If locked, twist the lockable access tip to unlock
it from the catheter valve. (Figure 11)
2. Ensure the drainage line has been unlocked. Pull
the lockable access tip out of the valve in a firm,
smooth motion. Set the used drainage line down.
(Figure 12)
3. Clean the catheter valve with an alcohol pad. Do
not try to push anything through the valve as
damage to the valve may occur. (Figure 13)
4. Place the new cap over the catheter valve and
twist it clockwise until it clicks into its locked
position. Cap might feel loose until it is locked
into place. (Figure 14)
5. Disconnect the drainage line from the glass
vacuum bottle or suction source.
Note: Dispose of the used drainage line and/or used
glass vacuum bottles in accordance with applicable
local, state, and federal regulations. Used product
may present a potential biohazard.
