Care and Maintenance
The Advanced Injection Arm should be completely drained of fluid and
dry before storing. Simulated blood can be reused.
A. Draining and Rinsing the Simulator
1.
Disconnect the fluid supply bags and drain simulated blood into
the supplied pint bottles.
2.
Fill one bag with water and reconnect to a shoulder tube.
3.
Reconnect the other rinsed fluid supply bag to the open shoulder
tube.
4.
Open both clamps and allow the system to flush.
5.
Repeat with clean water until the water runs clear from the arm.
6.
Drain the fluid supply bags and leave the caps open to allow
the inside to air dry as much as possible.
7.
Excess water may be removed from the arm by raising the
hand, lowering the shoulder, and draining it into a sink or basin.
8.
Remove the clamps from the fluid supply bag tubing as they
can cause permanent kinks and restrict fluid flow.
B. Cleaning the Simulator
1.
Wash the outside of the arm with mild liquid detergent and water.
2.
Stubborn stains may be removed using Nasco Cleaner
(LF09919U, sold separately). Simply dispense the Nasco
Cleaner to the stained area and wipe clean with a soft cloth
or paper towel.
C. Maintaining the Simulator
1.
Nasco Vein Tubing Sealant Kit (LF01099U) will extend the useful
life of the tubing.
Note:
Nasco Vein Tubing Sealant cannot be shipped outside of
the United States..
2.
Vyna Bond, purchased separately (See Supplies and Replace-
ment Parts) can be applied to the skin to repair puncture sites.
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 simulator — it may stain the skin.
5.
Use only 500 cc 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.
Newsprint, similar printed paper, or plastic will permanently stain
the simulator if prolonged contact occurs.
