Instructions for use

Precautions for Use
The drainage system should not be disconnected because this increases the risk of bacterial contamination. The catheter and the bag should be removed together.
It is important that samples are not taken from the bag (tap) because of multiplication of micro-organisms within this reservoir causing higher numbers. If no urine is visible in the tubing clamp it a few centimetres below the sampling port (do not clamp the catheter itself!). Wait until sufficient urine collects before proceeding with the sampling.
