SERRES® jar for OB500 LINER
The SERRES® suction jar is suitable for disposable bags from the same manufacturer (as
for the OB-J FM version) and is made of transparent plastic (polycarbonate). It
comprises a container (1), a grey movable connector for connection to the suction
control module (2) and a SERRES® disposable bag (3) complete with disposable
connector (white in the picture). The antibacterial filter is integrated in the green lid of
the disposable bag and prevents aspirated fluids from entering the suction unit. The jar
of secretions (not the disposable bag) can be sterilised in a conventional steam
autoclave at a maximum temperature of 121° C and a pressure of 2 bar (200 kPa). The
disposable bag must be replaced after use on the same patient or if it is full.
Risk of infection
•
Please always keep at least three ® SERRES bags in reserve.
•
Always wear gloves and personal protective equipment when
changing the SERRES® bag and for disposal.
•
Before each use, check that the SERRES® container has not already
been used.
•
Always
replace the contaminated disposable bag with a new one.

Secrets jar connection
The suction jar must be connected to the control unit module
(which can be recessed or fixed externally to the wall).
Depending on the version of the control module (external or flush-
mounted), the suction jar must be connected to the control unit via
the silicone tube from the jar. In the adjacent photos you can see
the OB-J FA suction jar connected to the external wall-mounted
module (photo A) and the pipe connection point in the built-in
version (photo B).

Sterile disposable Yankauer catheter with suction control system
OB500 is sold complete with a sterile Yankauer type suction catheter and two tubes for
connection from the jar to the regulating unit and from the regulating unit to the suction
unit respectively. The suction probe and catheter are disposable and must be changed after
each use. To facilitate correct operation, the tip of the rigid suction probe is angled so that
it can reach all parts of the mouth and upper airway. The rigid suction tip is spherical and
equipped with lateral holes to avoid damage to tissue during suction.
Yankauer
The Yankauer suction catheter is a sterile, single-use medical device. Never reuse this
device. It must be disposed of after use on the patient.
Caution!
Never use sterile medical devices beyond their expiry date or if the packaging is
damaged.
Always connect the Yankauer catheter to the "PATIENT" side on the lid of the reusable jar (FA) or
SERRES® disposable bag via the white conical fitting.

On request, the device can be equipped with a silicone patient tube (length: 130 cm) and
a sterile conical Fingertip fitting that allows the use of standard sterile catheters of an
appropriate size. The tube is reusable.
