System Operation

Before the first use of the Companion, the tubes and lanyard
will be cut to custom length by the physician.
Caution: The Emergency Clamp should be stored in the

carry bag at all times. If the Skin-Port becomes disconnected
from the A-Tube at any time, immediately attach the Emergency
Clamp to the A-Tube to prevent leakage of stomach contents
and A-Tube migration in the stoma tract. Seek medical
attention immediately for re-attachment of the Skin-Port.
