SET UP PROCEDURE FOR ARTERIAL BLEEDING
Note:
Before filling the arterial system with synthetic blood, we highly recommend that you
familiarize yourself with the simulator and the bulb pressure required to operate it using only
plain, distilled water. Only slight pressure is necessary when pumping blood to the arterial
wound sites.
Artificial blood will stain, so care should be taken with clothes and surfaces.
A. Prepare Artificial Blood
Fill the provided artificial blood container with distilled water.
Tightly replace cap and gently shake bottle until blood powder is
dissolved.

.
Twist gently to secure.
C. Connect to Training Arm
The artery tubing of the first aid arm is color-coded green. Attach the blue end of the squeeze
bulb assembly to the green connector of the artery tubing

. Gently pumping the squeeze
bulb will provide blood flow to the arterial system. Adjusting the flow control clamps on the
artery tubing
(3)
will allow or stop blood flow at either site on the arm.
