The day tubeThe day tube includes the connectors to the fluid bags and to the hygiene con-
nector (Fig. 5-10 "Patient tube elements" see (12)) of the patient tube.
The day tube may be used the entire day of surgery. However, it is designed for a
maximum of 10 uses.
CAUTION!
The day tube must be replaced at the end of the day of surgery but not later than
after 24 hrs.
The new sterile cap delivered together with the patient tube must be screwed
onto the hygiene connector (Fig. 5-9 "Day tube set elements" (10)) of the day
tube set immediately after the surgical procedure to provide protection from
contamination. This sterile protector remains connected to the day tube until the
next surgery.
The patient tubeThe patient tube has a connector on one side to connect with the day tube (hy-
giene connector (12)). A luer lock connector (15) to connect to an instrument
such as a trocar, for example, is fitted to the other side. Connect the hygiene con-
nector (12) of the patient tube with the matching piece on the day tube (Fig. 5-9
"Day tube set elements"(10)).
The patient tube set has to be replaced for every patient to prevent cross-con-
tamination. The day tube remains connected to the device after each surgery.
The used patient tube must be disposed of after each surgery.
