Emptying the Express Mini via
Pouring
If no syringe is available,
the port becomes clogged,
or the drain is almost full,
the Mini may also be emp-
tied by pouring. Clamp the
catheter with the blue slide
clamp.
Separate the white in-line
connection by pressing the
clear button.
Tip the drain to the right
with the tube pointing down
(do not tip upside-down).
Pour the contents into the
nearest suitable
receptacle.
Once empty, reconnect the
patient tubing to the drain
using the connector.
IMMEDIATELY, open the
blue slide clamp and the
Express Mini 500 is ready
to go.
Warnings:
1. Do not tamper with the positive pressure relief valve located on
top of the drain.
2. Do not separate the in-line connector before clamping off the
patient tube.
3. Do not keep the patient tube closed during drainage collection
or transportation.
4. Do not connect any open luer-lock connectors to the needleless
access port located on the front of the drain.
5. Do not use or puncture the needleless access port with a
needle.
6. Do not puncture the patient tubing with an 18 gauge or larger
needle.
