Removing And Replacing The Arm; Maintenance - Ambu I.V. Trainer Manual De Instrucciones

7. Removing and replacing the arm on its holder
on the training underlay

8. Maintenance

When not in use, the l.V. Trainer should be stored in the carry case. Keep the case
closed to protect the contents against ultraviolet light.
Note:
It is very important that only distilled water is used when filling the arm and
when simulating infusion and injection, otherwise the tubes simulating veins
and arteries become sticky and the material will decompose.
During storage between training sessions the I.V. Trainer must be covered or
placed in the carrying case.
The tubes simulating veins and arteries and the skin are made of natural
latex. The arm must therefore not be exposed to sunlight or other U.V.
(ultra-violet) rays as the material will become sticky and decompose.
Depending on frequency of use, it will be necessary to renew the skin, the three veins
and the artery from time to time.

It is important that the small plastic
strap of the pulse bag remains under
the artery tube during assembly of the
veins (fig. 18).
The groove in the foam nylon pad
should be fitted so that the artery
tube is placed in the groove.

The arm can be released from the
carry case/training underlay by press-
ing the black button on the retaining
device and detaching the arm from
the hook inside the shoulder (fig. 19).
Move the arm in the direction of the
arrow.
Replace the arm by moving it in the
opposite direction so that the hook
engages the fort mounted through
the shoulder joint.
