Step 6: Removing the Pouch
To easily disconnect the skin barrier from the pouch, firmly pull

barrier with one hand.

Adhesive Remover Wipes can be used to aid in skin barrier
removal and remove any adhesive residue left behind.
Step 5: Attaching the Pouch
Make sure the inner surfaces of the pouch are separated and that the
pouch contains a small amount of air. Position the pouch ring over
the skin barrier ring. Gently press your fingers around the entire ring area
starting at the bottom or 6 o’clock position. You will hear and feel
a series of audible “clicks” as the system locks securely into place.
Important:
Always recheck the coupling to ensure that the system
is completely closed by repeating the above steps.
Filter Tips & Techniques
■
The charcoal filter, located at the top of the pouch, lets gasses through while preventing
liquid from leaking out. The filter substantially reduces odour while helping to keep your
pouch flat.
■
Important:
cover the filter opening with the provided stick-on filter covers during all
water activities (bathing, showering, or swimming). After water activities are completed
and the pouch is dry,
remove
the filter cover.
Pouch Options
■
Pouches are available in Drainable with InvisiClose
