Abstract
A fluid collection reservoir for receiving an aspirated fluid has a secretion connection for connecting a drainage tube situated at a patient's side, and a vacuum connection for connecting to a suction pump. The reservoir has an interior space which is divided by means of ribs. The interior space is divided at least into a vacuum chamber and a secretion chamber, with said two chambers being connected to one another by means of at least one passage. The vacuum connector is arranged in the vacuum chamber and the secretion connector is arranged in the secretion chamber. This reservoir prevents contamination of the suction line or of the suction pump with aspirated fluid.
