Instructions for use
EN
Drainable collecting system for high flow liquid
stools. This product ensures the collection of high
flow liquid stools being connected to the stoma bag
of the patient. It is to be used with the Almarys®
Twin+ pouches for High Flow, Flexima®/Softima®
pouches for High Flow, Flexima®/Softima® Key
Maxi and Flexima®/Softima® 3S for High Flow. The
collector can be placed on the floor or higher than
the floor. It must always be lower than the stoma
bag.
1. Fitting your appliance
Adapt the length of the tubing to the desired size
with scissors by cutting it in the middle – against
the edge – of the smooth areas (cutting is possible
every 30 cm) (A).
Close the green drainage cap by pressing it before
the connection.
Connect the tubing to the drainage system of
the stoma bag by placing the outlet of the pouch
inside the Flow Collector's tube (B).
Disconnection after use: pull on the tubing while
pressing it slightly and close the drainage system
of the stoma pouch. One Flow Collector can be
used for a duration of about 72 hours.
Caution:
do not use any gelifying product in the
stoma bag in order to avoid blockage in the tubing.
N.B. :
1. It is possible to get a rough measurement of the
effluent volume thanks to the measuring scales in
the front of the collecting pouch. For a more precise
evaluation, use a measuring collector.
2. It is possible to use B. Braun Ileo Gel+ by
introducing 2 to 4 sachets in the Flow Collector
(through the green cap at the lower end of the
pouch). It solidifies stools: the pouch is then more
silent and the emptying is easier.
2. Use of the drainage system
For an easier emptying, lay it on the toilets seat (C).
Open the cap using the grip and taking good care to
maintain it higher than the pouch.
Maintain the cap between the thumb and the index
finger during the emptying (D).
Once the collecting pouch is empty, clean the cap
with tap water or with a wipe (caution: do not use
fluffy material) to maintain leakproofness.
