Figure 1 Figure 2 INTERNAL STRUCTURE Internally, the vascular structure (rubber tubing) begins at the shoulder and continues under the arm, crosses the antecubital fossa forearm, makes a loop in the back of the hand, and then returns to the underarm. This venous system is constructed of special plastic tubing, with the lumen being the approximate size of a human vein. - Page 4 Figure 4 Figure 5 2. Be sure the clamp on the fluid supply bag tubing is closed, fill it with the blood and hang the bag no more than 18" above the level of the arm. (See Figure 4.) (Fluid Supply Stand shown sold separately.) 3.

TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM: Cannot get blood to flow or flashback. If you are unable to get blood flow through your IV Arm, there is most likely a restriction some- where within the system. Restrictions can be caused by air bubbles, kinks (either in the veins or supply and drain tubing), or dried blood within the system. - Page 9 Other Available Simulators LF00706U LF00698U Adult Venipuncture and LF00997U Adult Venipuncture and Injection Training Arm, Light Injection Training Arm, Dark LF00700U Portable IV Hand, Adult, Light LF01007U IV Foot LF00701U Portable IV Arm, Light LF01008U Intradermal Injection Simulator LF00704U Portable IV Arm, Dark LF01139U Advanced IV Hand, Light LF00703U...
