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.
Safety related tip
When using serial connection, the flow rate of the suction source is reduced. Make sure
the flow rate is still adequate for your desired application.
1. Insert the number of desired jars including liners into the jar holder.
2. Cut off 10cm 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.
