5 Attaching the Fluid Collection Systems

Various options are available to set up the Disposable and Reusable Collection System�
WARNING: For the disposable liner system it is important to close all ports with
the attached caps before removing vacuum�
5�1 Disposable Collection System:
Serial connection up to 5 jars (chapter C)
See pictures chapter C, page 5.
1� Insert the number of desired jars including liners into the jar holder�
2� Cut off 10 cm of the tubing of the serial vacuum connection�
3� Insert serial vacuum connections into the suction port of all jars except for the right lower jar�
4� Insert coupling piece into the right lower (= last) jar�
5� Connect all serial vacuum connections to the next suction port (connect them to the vacant
Y-piece of the next serial connection or the coupling piece of the last jar)�
6� a� Pull the suction tubing from the vacuum source from below the jar holder through the hole
closest to jar and b� connect to the suction port (Y- piece) of the lower jar� Connect this suction
tubing to suction source� We recommend using the Medela Dominant Flex suction pump�
7� Insert serial patient connections into all serial ports except for the right lower (=last) jar�
8� Insert coloured angle piece to the patient port of all liners� Connect open end of the serial
patient connections with the coloured angle piece of the next jar's patient port�
(Serial Port Jar 1 to patient port Jar 2 ...)
9� Attach desired patient tubing to angle piece of lower jar�
5�2 Disposable Collection System:
Change-over valve (chapter D)
See pictures chapter D, page 6.
Note
When using change-over valve instead of serial connection, suction is switched from one jar to
the other manually� No reduction in flow rate is to be expected�
1� Insert a jar including a liner to each side of the change-over valve�
2� Connect the left suction tubing from the change-over valve to the suction port of the left jar�
Do the same for the right side�
