Serres System Overview Serres System Overview

Disposable Suction Liner1 Single Patient Connector:

Eliminates the risk of misconnection, and makes liner changes swift and safe. The white connector is factory-fitted to every liner, and is discarded after the liner has been used. No additional connectors are required.

2 Dual Purpose Filter: Offers bacterial filtration and fluid overflow

protection. Every liner has this filter, so the standard liner suits all applications.

3 Fold Flat Design: Dramatically reduces storage space.

4 Tethered Cap: Provides secure, dependable closure after use.

5 Serial Port: For simple cascading from one liner to the next.

Reusable Suction Canisters6 Vacuum Connection:

Canister-located connector means the vacuum stays attached at all times. No need to disconnect - which improves safety and convenience. Once the vacuum source has been connected this never needs touching.

7 Clear Volume Markings: Provides accurate measurement of collected

fluid. CE marked and calibrated. Serres canisters are certified as measuring devices (Europe class 1m certificate, issued by notified body no. 0537)

8 Robust Mounting: Adapts easily to all manufacturers'

wall/equipment brackets.

9 Oval 1 litre Canister: Compact design for confined spaces.

All Serres suction liners are made of thin yet very strong polyethylene film, making the system the safest and most hygienic solution available. They are fitted with a patented single patient connector that makes misconnection virtually impossible.

Every Serres suction liner is equipped with a hydrophobic filter that offers both bacterial filtration and fluid overflow protection. Pre-gelled liners are available (for content solidification), or solidifying agent can be simply applied through the liner’s serial port.

57550 57533 57501

Serres suction liners ALL have hydrophobic overflow protection filters in their lids. This is a huge advantage when cascading, as there is no need to use a combination of filtered and non-filtered liners.

Serres suction liners are available in 1 litre, 2 litre and 3 litre sizes, and are designed to provide the highest levels of performance and ease of use.

Reliable, safe cascading. Fast, simple connection. Intuitive set-up. Only one liner style required.

Tough, polyethylene liner material. Drop tested (full of water)

from 6 metres onto concrete. Ultrasonically-welded seams. Tethered cap for quick,

secure closure.

The liners and serial connection tubes are disposable. Every new Serres liner has a pre-attached white elbow.

The grey connectors and tubing are permanently attached to the canisters and the vacuum source, and do not need to be removed when the liners are changed.

SerresSerres Serial Connection (Cascading) Disposable Suction Liners

Other systems rely on there being a filtered liner to protect the suction equipment together with a series of non-filtered liners to permit the cascading. These have to be fitted in the correct sequence for the system to work, and of course both types of liners have to be purchased and stocked.

Serial connection with Serres is simple and is achieved by connecting between successive liners with a single serial tube incorporating a pre-attached wide-bore push-in connector.

As the fluid fills the first liner its internal filter shuts the suction off, and the fluid then cascades to the next liner. Once the final liner fills, or the procedure has finished, its filter automatically shuts off the vacuum allowing the liners to be disposed of.

All accessories are compatible with Serres suction liners and are easy and fast to connect.

Converting your hospital to the Serres Suction Liner SystemGBUK Healthcare has been successfully converting hospitals to the Serres suction system since 2000 and we have unrivalled experience in UK hospital suction needs. We supply all the necessary canisters and theatre trolleys and all are professionally installed and commissioned.

All the work is undertaken by GBUK Healthcare, and no hospital staff need to be distracted from their duties.

Our dedicated installation teams are fully trained and experienced in converting wards, departments and operating theatres.

The process starts with a comprehensive audit of the overall equipment requirements, and discussion regarding the specific needs of your hospital.

A date is confirmed for the conversion and all relevant departments are informed of the process.

Typically, converting an individual ward takes less than 15mins, and that is followed by training for all available staff on the fitting, use and disposal of the Serres liners. Disruption to the ward is minimal, and only once the senior ward staff member is satisfied is their conversion considered to be complete.

In advance of the conversion theatre managers will have been consulted regarding the specific requirements of each of their theatres, and the most convenient time for the conversion will have been agreed. Throughout the conversion trained GBUK Healthcare staff remain in the department to provide training, answer any questions and familiarise all staff with the new equipment.

Our reputation ensures an efficient, speedy and comprehensive service that involves thorough staff training, with minimal disruption.

And finally, following your hospital’s conversion we provide unrivalled support, to ensure you realise the maximum user and financial benefits from adopting the Serres suction system.
