Zusammenfassung:A drainage system for draining bodily fluid includes a fluid-receiving body having a fluid-receiving chamber located therein that receives a bodily fluid through an inlet. An actuation device includes a housing with a container-receiving chamber that is sized and configured to receive a pre-evacuated container therein. The actuation device includes an actuation member that, upon actuation, moves either the pre-evacuated container or a piercing element toward the other of the pre-evacuated container or piercing element such that the piercing element pierces a seal of the pre-evacuated container providing communication of a negative pressure inside the pre-evacuated container to a fluid-receiving passageway to draw bodily fluid into the fluid-receiving passageway and toward the fluid-receiving body.
