Drainage Bag Positioning Instructions

How do you empty the Bard Anti Reflux Chamber Drainage Bag?

• Bard catheter bag emptying steps:
  • Remove the outlet tube from the housing; gently squeeze the connector arms and pull the tube from the housing
  • Release the clamp and empty the Bard Urine Drainage Bag
  • Once the user has emptied the drainage bag, re-clamp the outlet tube and slide the connector into the housing until the connector arms are engaged 
• Periodic examination of the system should be made to ensure that there is a free flow of urine. If there is a standing column of urine, check for the correct positioning of the Bard Urinary Drainage bag and then for a physical obstruction. The bag may have to be changed if correct positioning or removal of physical obstruction does not allow free flow
• If the Bard Drainage Bag is not positioned correctly, urine may bypass the meter and go directly to the bag. Reposition the bag as necessary

How to drain the drainage bag?

• Periodic inspection of the system should be made to see if urine is flowing freely and is not obstructed
• Bard Bedside Urinary Drainage Bag should be placed near the foot of the bed and below the level of the patient's hip
• Drain tubing should be secured to the draw sheet with the sheeting clip to provide a continuous downward-sloping path to the drainage bag
• Excess tubing should be arranged or coiled in such a manner that does not allow the tubing to kink or fall below the level of the drainage bag 
• When transporting the patient, do not place the Bard Night Drainage Bag on the abdomen or between the legs of the patient
• To promote optimum drainage, position the drainage tubing over the patient's leg. This is especially important if the patient is obese.
• Never place the drainage bag on the floor

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How often should a urinary drainage bag be changed?

   It is advisable to empty the bag when it reaches around half to three-quarters full to prevent urine accumulation in the bladder. Employ valves to drain urine regularly throughout the day. Leg bags and valves should be replaced every 7 days.

2. What happens if a drainage bag is higher than the bladder?

   Ensure that the urine bag is always positioned below the bladder, typically at waist level. This precautionary measure prevents the backflow of urine from the tubing and bag into the bladder, reducing the risk of infection.

3. What is the correct position of the urine drainage bag?

   Maintain the drainage bag below the level of the bladder to prevent urine from backflowing. Regularly check the flow of urine through the catheter into the drainage bag and empty it when it reaches half full.
