(such as 20- to 25-gauge). However, if instruction with larger needle sizes is required, this can be done; the skin and veins will merely need to be replaced sooner. The Skin and Vein Kits are available through Nasco Healthcare (see list of supplies).
List of Components A. Multi-Venous IV & Training Arm (LF01271-LIGHT, LF01272-MEDIUM) B. 3 cc Syringe with Needle C. 12 cc Syringe with Needle D. Case E. 2 Fluid Supply Bags Infusion Butterfly G. Pinch Clamp H. 2 Small Towels Infusion Needle 2 Pint Bottles with Blood Powder K.
Internal Structure Internally the vascular structure (dry natural rubber tubing) includes the basilic, median, accessory cephalic, and metacarpal veins. This venous system is constructed of special self-healing dry natural rubber tubing, with the lumen being the approximate size of a human vein.

General Instructions For Use A. Pressurizing the Veins with Synthetic Blood: 1. Add 1 pint of distilled water to the pint bottle with blood powder; shake it to mix. 2. Be sure the clamp on the fluid supply bag A tubing is closed, fill it with the blood and hang the bag no more than 18"...

4. With the other shoulder tube attached to the second (empty) fluid supply bag B, (see Figure 3) gradually “flush” the vascular system with synthetic blood by slowly opening the clamp on fluid supply bag A. (See Figure 4.) (The pinch clamp on fluid supply bag B should be open.) Allow same “blood”...

3. Open the clamp on Fluid Supply Bag A. The arm is now ready to perform injections or withdrawals along any of the 8 fluid lines present in the arm. Nasco Healthcare recommends the use of small diameter needles for these procedures; 20 to 25 gauge.

Begin with a fully pressurized arm. See procedure A under General Instructions for Use. Select the appropriate intravenous infusion needles or butterfly included. Nasco Healthcare recommends small gauge needles 20-25 gauge. Make sure the arm is palm down and the clamps on Bags A and B are closed.

Figure 8 8. Open the clamp on the infusion solution or fluid supply bag C. Proof of proper procedure will be evidenced by the flow of fluid from the infusion solution or fluid supply bag C. (See Figure 8.) Note: This procedure may dilute your simulated blood solution.

Figure 9 Figure 10 D. Intramuscular Injections The procedure for administering intramuscular injections can be practiced in the area of the deltoid. (See Figure 9.) Prep the site with distilled water, alcohol, or iodine solution. Injections can be done utilizing the appropriate needle and syringe. 1/2 cc of distilled water may be injected, however, we recommend utilizing air as injectant since the distilled water cannot be drained, but must evaporate from the arm.
Wash the outside of the arm with mild liquid detergent and water. C. Maintaining the Simulator Nasco Vein Tubing Sealant Kit (LF01099U) will extend the useful life of the tubing. Note: Nasco Vein Tubing Sealant cannot be shipped outside of the United States.

Cautions This synthetic blood is specially formulated to be compatible with the self-sealing veins and plastics used in manufacturing the arm. NEVER use synthetic blood for intramuscular injection. DO NOT use dull or burred needles, as these will cause leaks in the system.
Check correct positions in the instruction manual for LF01274 Advanced IV Arm Skin and Vein Replacement Kit. Contact Nasco for a FREE instructional video. 4. Check for air bubbles: Make sure you purge the arm of air bubbles. Gradually “flush” the system with synthetic blood by slowly opening the supply clamp.
