Abstract
A body drainage system for draining fluid from a body cavity of a patient, the body cavity being provided with an access port, wherein the system includes: a peristaltic pump mechanism, a housing for housing at least a portion of the peristaltic pump mechanism, a flexible tube configured to be connected at an access port end to the patient access port, and at a collection unit end to a collection unit, a pre-chamber connected to the flexible tube arranged to receive fluid via the flexible tube, a processor, wherein the pre-chamber is provided with a pressure sensor and the processor is configured to receive pressure signal from the pressure sensor to be able to detect air leakage and/or to calculate the amount of air leakage.
Claims22
A drainage system for aspirating and measuring of body fluids, the drainage system comprising:
- peristaltic pump housing and a peristaltic mechanism unit arranged in the peristaltic pump housing;
- a fluid collection bag being able to be secured releasably on the peristaltic pump housing;
- a rigid pre-chamber arranged to connect drainage tubing to the collection bag;
- a pressure sensor located near the rigid pre-chamber and arranged to be in communication with said pre-chamber for sensing a pressure in the rigid pre-chamber for the purpose of controlling the peristaltic pumping mechanism by a pre-set pressure and to determine the level of air leakage.
