Set Up Figure 18 D. I/O Leg The left leg incorporates an intraosseous infusion feature. Palpable landmarks include the patella and the tibial tuberosity. Any commercially available intraosseous device may be used to place the needle. The bone is prefilled with simulated blood and will provide flashback when the needle is properly inserted.
Page 10
Set Up 3. When installing the new bone, make sure it is correctly positioned in the leg cavity. (See figures 22 and 23.) 4. Replace the skin. A light dusting of baby powder on the inside of the skin will help it to slide on easily. (See figure 24.) Figure 22 Figure 23 Figure 24...

Instructions for Use E. Performing IV Injection and Withdrawals Both the right hand and foot are equipped with functional IV access and infusion practice. 1. Make sure all clamps are closed on the fluid supply bags. 2. Add 1 pint of distilled water only to the pint bottle with blood powder; shake it to mix.
Page 17
Instructions for Use F. Performing IV Infusions 1. Procure a 3rd IV bag (sold separately, LF01130). 2. Begin with a fully pressurized system. 3. Insert the IV needle or butterfly into a vein. Flashback will indicate a proper insertion. 4. Attach the needle or butterfly to the tubing from the infusion solution or fluid supply Bag C using the small latex piece.
Page 18
Instructions for Use 1. Apply a small amount of the provided lubricant to chest tube appliances. 2. Use an alternative method to secure. Most adhesives do not stick well to the infant simulator’s skin. 3. Remove all devices from the infant simulator after each use. 4.
