USER GUIDE
6 | Introduction
Storage
•
Store the venous training arm in a cool, dry place.
•
Humidity: 40% - 60% (non-condensing).
•
Do not stack or store heavy materials on top of the bag. Please store and ship it in the bag provided.
Cleaning
•
The venous training arm is water proof. It should be cleaned with a
cloth dampened with diluted liquid dishwashing soap.
•
Do not clean with harsh abrasives.
•
Dry thoroughly after every cleaning.
•
After drying, application of baby powder can return the arm to its lifelike feel.
IV Arm
•
Only use Gaumard’s simulated blood provided in the standard package. Any other simulated blood
containing sugar or any additive may cause blockage and/or interruption of the veins in the IV arm.
•
The use of needles larger than 22 to 23 gauge will reduce the lifetime of the arm skin and veins.
•
Always purge with clean water, then drain the vein reservoirs at the end of each simulation
session. Doing so will retard the formation of mold and prevent clogging of the system.
•
The skin of the training arm can be cleaned with a mild detergent, or soap and water. After drying the
arm, lightly dust it with talcum powder. This will keep the training arm supple and easy to use.
•
We recommend lushing veins with a 70:30 mix of clean water to isopropyl
alcohol (IPA) after each use to prolong the life of the vasculature.
•
For more information regarding the replacement of veins and other consumable items
please contact technical support. Contact information is provided in section 6.3.
WARNING: Vein tubing contains latex which may cause allergic reactions. Users allergic or sensitive to latex
should avoid contact. Stop using the product and seek medical attention if an allergic reaction occurs.
