Always keep the catheter safety valve clean and the access tip on the connec-
ted tube sterile.
Take care to ensure that they do not come into contact with any un-sterile objects in order to avoid
contamination. The safety valve must be disinfected before each drainage.
While draining, make sure that the safety valve and the access tip are secure-
ly connected. Take care not to tug or pull on the connected tube.
Take particular care to ensure that the access tip is inserted in the safety valve in a sterile manner and
make sure that the connection is secure. It can lead to contamination if the parts become disconnected
by mistake. In case this occurs, disinfect the safety valve with a new alcohol wipe and dispose of the
disconnected drainage material. Use a new sterile drainova® Reservoir to continue with the drainage.
