ABSTRACT:
A suction canister system for serial collection of fluids comprises a plurality of canisters. Vacuum is provided to the interior of the canisters each of which includes a valve for terminating the vacuum in the canister responsive to the level of fluid therein. The fluid is allowed to travel to a serially arranged canister when the valve on one canister is closed.
A fluid flow adapter suitable for use in a fluid collection container includes a first open tube with second and third open tubes attached thereto. The second and third tubes are in direct fluid communication with the first tube but they are not in direct fluid communication with each other. This arrangement allows the second and third tubes to serve as fluid inlet and fluid outlet openings for the collection container.
