Direction for Use/Dosage
Always use as directed by a healthcare professional. To empty the unit, open the outlet plug. Empty the collected fluid into a measuring container. Cleanse the opening and the plug with a suitable antiseptic swab. To reactivate the suction, press the bellow chamber completely until the top and bottom surfaces are in contact, and then re-insert the plug to re-establish the vacuum. Ensure the tubing is not kinked or pulled tight. The unit should be emptied when it is about half full, as its suction ability decreases as it fills.
