To prevent causing harm to the Injectable
Training Arm:
1. Use distilled water rather than alcohol, Betadine
®
,
or other skin preparing substances to simulate
preparing the puncture site.
2. Small diameter needles, 20-gauge to 25-gauge,
should be used to extend the life of the skin and
veins. The skin and veins will hold up to several
hundred sticks if smaller needles are used as
recommneded and all available sites arre used.
3. Synthetic blood will stain the soft skin of the
injectable training arm, clothes, most soft
surfaces, and some hard surfaces. Please use
caution.
4. Ink and newsprint will cause an indelible stain
to the injectable training arm. DO NOT place the
injectable training arm on printed surfaces or
plastic.
5. Follow Care and Maintenance instructions
carefully.
