How to Start Draining Fluid

1. Roll the wheel on the roller clamp away from the vacuum bottle to begin drainage. When fluid begins to flow into the drainage line, you may partially close the roller clamp to slow the flow of the fluid by rolling the wheel on the roller clamp towards the bottle.
2. The flow into the bottle may slow down when the fluid is almost completely drained. When the flow stops or the bottle is filled, completely close the roller clamp by rolling the wheel towards the bottle. Drainage will usually take 5-15 minutes.
3. After the fluid drainage stops, pull the access tip out of the valve in a firm, smooth motion. Set the used drainage line down.
4. Clean the catheter valve with a new alcohol pad. Discard the alcohol pad.
5. 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.
