Body fluids suction jar RCS

polysulfoneautoclavable

Overview
The Medela Reusable Collection System (RCS) is a modular suction collection solution for clinical environments. The system combines autoclavable polysulfone canisters with one‑piece lids that incorporate mechanical overflow protection and uniform lid sizing to streamline handling and reprocessing.

Features & Benefits

• Autoclavable polysulfone (PSU) canisters and reusable lids with integrated mechanical overflow protection.
• Main jar volumes (1, 2, 3, 5 L) share a common lid size; small 0.25 L and 0.5 L jars are available for low‑volume applications.
• Modular configuration: available as complete systems or as individual components and accessories to match clinical workflows.
• Clear patient and vacuum ports with quick‑connect fittings for safe, fast setup.
• Designed for repeated reprocessing (performance data on file; number of cycles depends on reprocessing protocol).

Canisters and lids
Canisters are manufactured from high‑grade, break‑resistant polysulfone. Lids are one‑piece, autoclavable and include mechanical overflow protection while preserving clear graduations for volume monitoring.

Compatibility and use
The RCS connects to Medela hospital suction pumps and wall vacuum systems. It is intended for surgical aspiration, airway suctioning and general fluid management in hospitals, clinics and operating rooms.

Accessories & Disposables

• Patient and vacuum tubing (silicone and PVC options) with multiple connector types and fingertip variants.
• Change‑over valves and clamp holders for switching between liners or jars during high‑volume procedures.
• Virus/bacteria/overflow filters to protect pumps and reduce contamination and odours.
• Trolleys for organized, space‑efficient deployment (holds multiple jars).
• Disposable specimen cups for tissue sampling.

Videos & documentation
Instructional videos and product documentation are available covering system configuration, clinical use and reprocessing procedures.
