Self-regenerating TruUltra material has been designed to facilitate 4000+ needle
penetrations which will disappear by up to 90% after a 24h resting period (500+
needles for each of the 8 veins)
9.
A 20G needle should be used for IV techniques for optimal performance. Using a needle
larger than this may void the warranty if damage is caused to the model (please refer to
page 10 for warranty information)
Removing Fluids
This is recommended when the model is being transported, or kept in storage for
extended periods of time
(keeping fluid in the system short-term will not damage the
model)
1.
To remove blood from the
superficial
veins, attach a syringe to the
upper
blue
‘
OUT
’ port and gently withdraw until no more fluid remains
2.
To remove blood from the
deep
veins, attach a syringe to the
upper
grey
‘
OUT
’ port
and gently withdraw until no more fluid remains
Replacing the ultrasound insert
1.
Important:
Please do not
discard the base or tubes supplied with your original model. A
replacement insert includes only the block which IV cannulation is practised upon
–
the
base and tubing from your original order is re-used
2.
Lift the ultrasound insert off the base (not attached via glue or connectors etc.)
3.
Align the new insert onto the existing base and re-position
4.
Please ensure the insert sits firmly with sufficient grip to avoid the insert moving during
training
