Troubleshooting
Urine won't drain into my bag?
Firstly, check that the tubing is not kinked. If there are any kinks
in the tubing, straighten them out. A trapped Non Return Valve
(NRV) can also prevent urine draining into the bag. The NRV is the
clear flap of plastic that is located directly behind the Bear print on
the bag. On very 'rare' occasions the NRV during sterilisation can
become trapped. Manipulate the NRV by rubbing the front and
back of the bag where the Bear is, this should release the NRV and
allow proper drainage. If this does not work, please contact your
Healthcare Professional.
My bag has turned purple?!
This is a known phenomenon called "Purple Bag Syndrome".
Bacteria in the urine or certain medications can react with the
bag material and change it blue or purple. The change in colour
is not harmful but we would advise you consult your Healthcare
Professional to rule out infection.
The bag keeps disconnecting from my Catheter?
Disconnection usually occurs when the
connector on the drainage bag has not
been sufficiently pushed into the
catheter. Ensure the ridged connector
on the drainage bag is pushed in as
far as possible to ensure a secure
connection.
The tap on my bag keeps
catching/ accidentally
opening – what can I do?
The tap on our Libra Leg
Bag and reusable Night
Bags can be rotated 360°
and positioned to prevent
accidental opening.
