5. If none of these measures work,
peel back the skin (soap up
exterior arm skin generously with
Ivory
®
liquid detergent) of the arm
to the knuckles (do not remove
from fingers), and examine all
tubing for possible kinks. Soap
up arm core and skin generously
with Ivory
®
liquid detergent, and
return skin over arm.
Cleaning & Maintenance:
After each class use, disconnect
“blood” and flush the venous system.
Return synthetic blood to the storage
bottle. Remove pinch clamps and
IV sets from arm. Use tap water to
flush the venous system and wash
the outside of the arm with Ivory
®
liquid detergent and water. Excess
water may be removed from the arm
by raising the hand, lowering the
shoulder, and draining it into a sink
or basin. Always remove the pinch
clamps from shoulder tubing and
drain excess water from veins before
storing.
Cautions:
1. This synthetic blood is specially
formulated to be compatible with
the self-sealing veins and plastics
used in manufacturing the arm.
2. NEVER use synthetic blood for
intramuscular injection.
3. DO NOT use dull or burred
needles as these will cause leaks
in the system. Burred needles
will cause permanent damage.
Use smaller needles (20- to
25-gauge).
4. DO NOT allow “blood” to dry on
the simulator — it may stain the
skin.
5. Use only 500cc of infusion fluid,
as a larger amount will also
increase the pressure of the
venous system, resulting in leaks.
6. DO NOT clean the simulator with
solvents or corrosive material as
they will damage it.
7. DO NOT use for subcutaneous
injection. Nasco’s Intradermal
Injection Simulator (LF01008U) is
specially designed for intradermal
injection training and practice.
8. Nasco Vein Tubing Sealant Kit
(LF01099U) will extend the life of
the tubing.
