3.
Attach the tubing from the bag to the inlet tubing of the leg. Hang bag A, adjusting
height as needed. (Fluid supply stand pictured, sold separately, LF01022U.)
4.
Attach the outlet tubing to the empty fluid supply bag B.
5.
Close the cap to bag B and place at, or slightly below, the level of the dog.
6.
Pressurize the system by opening all the clamps until the fluid in the outlet tubing runs free
of bubbles, then close the fluid supply bag B clamp.
(See Figure 8.)
7.
The venous system is now charged with pressurized blood and is ready for use. Use only
distilled water to prepare the site. Blood will be aspirated when the vein is punctured
correctly.
Preparing for IV Infusion
1.
Prepare your IV bag (sold separately, LF01130U) and solution (distilled water recom-
mended).
2.
Have the leg set up as described in the preceding section (“Setting Up the IV Leg”).
3.
Insert the butterfly needle into the vein. Flashback will indicate proper insertion.
4.
Close the clamp on fluid supply bag A. Hang the IV bag and connect it to the butterfly
set. Open the clamp to fluid supply bag B. Infusion fluid should flow into the vein and out
into IV bag B. Control the rate of flow by adjusting the clamp on the IV bag.
Note:
Fluid supply bags A and B may be switched as needed to maintain adequate
pressurization of the system.
Injections
Subcutaneous or intramuscular injections may be administered anywhere on the dog.
Air is the recommended injectant. If you prefer to inject liquid, use only distilled water.
Be aware that moisture will then be introduced into the interior of the foam body and will
evaporate very slowly, especially with intramuscular injections. Avoid puncturing the lung or
airway system.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1.
Make sure all clamps have been opened or closed correctly.
2.
Check tubing for kinks or other blockage.
3.
Constant clamp pressure can cause the tubing to pinch shut, even after the clamp is loos-
ened. Slide the clamp to a new position and work the tubing with your fingers to restore
the lumen.
4.
Avoid overfilling the bags or hanging them too high, as this will increase the pressure in
the system, resulting in leaks.
5.
Forcing fluid through the system with a large syringe may remove clogs.
6.
If no blockage is visible, remove the leg fur and examine the tubing for kinks.
