How to set up the Serres Suction Bag System?

The user friendliness of the Serres Suction Bag System has been taken to the next level. Thanks to an innovative and patented design, the number of steps for setting up the system is minimal, with workflow optimized to reduce the changeover time in your OR.

To finalize the installation, the patient port must be closed to ensure the seal between the canister and the lid is tight.

During suction liquids flow into the bag. Once the bag is filled, the overflow filter automatically shuts the suction.

Lastly, the patient port is capped (or serial port if used) and the bag can be disposed of safely and hygienically.

Single connection for fast installation

Preparation before the first installation

Connect the vacuum tube to the canister mounted in the trolley or a bracket. Unlike in other systems, the vacuum is not connected on the suction bag lid each time the system is used. This allows you to leave the vacuum tube permanently connected, with no need to dismantle or touch it anymore.

Step 1: place the Serres suction bag

First unfold the suction bag and place it into the suction canister. If your suction bag is folded, simply place the suction bag as it is into the Serres suction canister.

Step 2: suction on

Turn on the suction while lightly pressing the middle of the lid. Wait for a few seconds while the bag automatically fills with air and adapts neatly to the canister’s shape.

Step 3: seal it

Close the patient connector using your finger so that the lid tightens to the suction canister.

Step 4: connect the patient tube

Connect the patient tube and you’re all set. All these 4 steps can take less than 10 seconds to complete the installation!

The Serres Suction Bag System connects suction bags and accessories into one system that helps healthcare professionals focus where it matters. Together with Serres Nemo we can provide a holistic point of view around suction from fluid collection to fluid disposal.
