The TPSS has numerous built in safety features including:
•
Closed System Design.
The TPSS is designed to confine and contain fluids during disposal. Personnel
never open suction canisters.
•
Interactive Controls.
The TPSS’s high-tech control system guides users through unit operation while
monitoring key functions.
•
Disinfection Cycle Monitoring.
Continuous automatic monitoring of the disinfection cycle is
accomplished with multiple electronic sensors within the TPSS unit.
•
Vacuum Protection.
Hydrophobic filters on each green Transposal single use lid prevent main line
vacuum contamination. In addition, DMS’s unique vacuum adapter only connects to protected lid
vacuum ports.

Reusable Suction Canister Use and Processing
Canister Use. Transposal canisters, consisting of a reusable fluid collector and single use lid, shall be used in
place of traditional disposable suction canisters/liners in surgery and other patient care areas throughout the
facility. Transposal reusable canisters, like their disposable counterparts, are considered non-critical and non-
sterile medical devices and should be handled accordingly.
Before starting a procedure, verify the canister is clean and has a new single use lid is installed. If unsure of the
status of the lid, replace it with a known new single use lid.
Fluid collection for each canister is up to 2,800mL with an accuracy of +/- 50mL.
