LUBRICATING THE NEW SKIN
Pour lubricant into the skin and swish so all surfaces are covered.
INSTALLING THE REPLACEMENT SKIN
1.
Slide the skin over the hand of the core. Be certain the palm of the hand and core are in the
same position.
2.
Grasp the skin with both hands, as illustrated, and slide the skin over the core until the
fingers of the core approach the finger holes of the skin.
(See figure 13.)
(During this step, be
certain the tubing remains in the proper channels.)
CAUTION:
Excessive pulling on the end of the skin may stretch or tear material.
3.
Work the fingers into place.
(See figure 14.)
SKIN AND ARTERY REPLACEMENT
1.
Removing the used skin and arterial tubing from the arm
2.
Untie the lace from the base of the arm.
3.
Lubricate the EXTERIOR of the skin using baby powder.
4.
Peel the skin off carefully, turning inside out.
(See figure 9.)
5.
Remove the foam pad at the antecubital fossa.
(See figure 10.)
6.
Disconnect the arterial tubing at the antecubital fossa and at the wrist.
INSTALLING THE NEW ARTERIAL TUBING
1.
Slide each end of precut length of replacement tubing securely over the connectors.
2.
To secure the connections, roll the O-rings over tubing after connecting to fittings.
(See figure 11.)
3.
Place the foam pad over the arterial tubing at the antecubital fossa.
4.
The white wrapped sections of tubing should be over the injection areas.
(See figure 12.)
