System actuation
Releasing and sliding the shuttle that houses the Magnetic Drive towards the drainage canister actuates the system.
The external Magnetic Drive allows manipulation of the internal Clearance Loop without compromising the sterile environment, eliminating the need for “milking and stripping”.
The Clearance Loop maintains patency by actively clearing clot obstructions towards the drainage canister.
