tube assembly
The soft catheter is inserted into the rectum for fecal management to contain and divert fecal waste to protect
the patient's skin and keep the bedding clean. There is a low-pressure retention balloon at the distal end and a
connector for attaching the collection bag at the other end. There is a recess under the balloon for the clinician's
finger allowing the device to be positioned digitally.
A blue and a white port are attached to the side of the catheter. The white port, marked "≤45ml" is used to inflate
the retention balloon after the device has been inserted into the patient's rectum. (Figure 2-1b). This white inflation
port is equipped with two fill indicating domes (PROTECT indicator domes), green color (i.e., the dome closest to
the catheter tubing) and red color (i.e., the dome furthest from the catheter tubing). The green fill indication dome
provides a visual and tactile indication as to when the low-pressure retention balloon is filled to its optimal volume.
A red-dome fill indicator provides a visual and tactile indication when the balloon over-inflation occurs. A white cap
is provided to close off the white inflation port after the balloon inflation. The purple ENFit™ connector in the blue
housing, marked "IRRIG. /Rx" is used to flush the device if needed and administer medication, if prescribed. (Figure
2-1a). A dark blue sampling port is also present if stool samples are required to be taken by the clinician.
