How To Apply FLOWASSIST Baseplate and Closed Pouch?

1. Wash your hands and ensure the skin around the stoma is clean and dry. Shave any hair around the stoma if necessary.
2. Using scissors, cut the baseplate opening to match the size of the stoma. Refer to the stoma size guide on the back of the baseplate. WARNING: Do not cut the FLOWASSIST Spout
3. Warm the baseplate by holding it in your hands for 30 seconds.
4. Remove the plastic liner.
5. Position the FLOWASSIST Spout below the stoma or rotate to align with the opening of the stoma. Apply the adhesive side of the baseplate to the skin around the stoma and gently press in place for 30 seconds.
6. Attach the pouch to the baseplate by placing your fingers underneath the floating flange and pressing the two plastic click rings together.
7. Start from the bottom and work your way around until the rings are fully clicked together. Close the Urostomy Pouch by placing the stopper on the valve and pressing firmly. Ensure the tap is turned to the closed position.
8. Empty the Urostomy Pouch by bringing the valve upwards to the level of the stoma, then releasing the stopper from the valve. Position over a toilet, and then twist tap to open valve.

Changing The System

1. Remove the pouch by holding the baseplate firmly against your abdomen with one hand and using the other hand to gently pry the pouch click ring away from the baseplate. You may attach a new pouch (Step 6) or change the whole system.
2. Remove the baseplate by gently peeling it away from your abdomen. Use your second hand to support the skin adjacent to the baseplate as you peel. Use adhesive remover if desired.
3. Dispose of in a safe and approved manner in accordance with local regulations. Do not flush down the toilet.
