Simulated Bleeding for IV Flash Cue
Mixing the TraumaFX® Blood Powder
The blood powder and mixed blood solutions may stain fabric and
porous surfaces. Do not add any other substance to the blood
(including detergents) as they may damage internal components and
will void the limited warranty.
Use care when transporting pre-mixed blood or open bags of blood mix powder. If
a surface or fabric comes into contact with the simulated blood solution, treat with
detergent as soon as possible to avoid permanent stains. Simulated Blood should be
washed out of clothing as soon as possible (preferably within 24 hours) to avoid
staining. Pre-treatment of stains and vigorous cleaning will usually remove
simulated bloodstains. Only use detergents and cleansers recommended by the
manufacturer(s) of the affected surfaces or fabrics. If dry blood powder is spilled,
avoid contact with liquids. Sweep or vacuum the affected area immediately.
To mix the blood powder, follow the instructions below:
1. Remove any items from inside the blood filling system, and check that
bucket is clear of dirt or debris
2. Fill the blood fill container with the desired amount of water
3. Open the corresponding number of blood powder packets (1 packet per
gallon) and empty the entire contents of each blood powder packet into the
blood fill container
4. Stir the blood powder into the water until thoroughly mixed.
