FAQ's of Chest Drainage System:
Q: How is the chest drainage system used during postoperative thoracic procedures?
A: Simply attach the universal fitting connector to the chest tube and position the device below the patient's chest level. Gravity-based operation ensures reliable drainage, while the graduated markings allow for precise monitoring of fluid output in real time.
Q: What benefits does the hydrophobic filter provide in this system?
A: The integrated hydrophobic filter prevents fluid migration, offering superior infection control by stopping bacteria and viruses from entering or escaping the chamber, thus safeguarding both patient and healthcare personnel.
Q: When should a chest drainage system be replaced or disposed of?
A: This system is intended for single use and should be disposed of safely after each patient procedure or when the 2000 ml capacity is reached, in line with proper medical waste protocols.
Q: Where can this system be efficiently utilized?
A: The device is suitable for use in hospitals, surgical theaters, intensive care units, and emergency settings where thoracic drainage is needed after operations or due to conditions like pleural effusion or pneumothorax.
Q: What is the sterilization and storage process for the chest drainage system?
A: Each system is provided sterile and ready to use. For best results, store the unit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, observing the shelf life of up to 5 years as indicated.
Q: How does the overflow prevention feature enhance safety?
A: The built-in overflow protection prevents accidental spillage of fluids, reducing contamination risk and maintaining the sterility of the operating environment.
Q: What are the key advantages of this system's design and material?
A: Crafted from medical-grade PVC, the system is lightweight, leak-proof, latex-free, and provides silent operation. Its transparent construction and analog display facilitate accurate, continuous fluid monitoring.
