MAINTENANCE
Replacing Skin and Veins in IV Arm
When excessive leaking occurs at the puncture sites, a new vein and
skin should be installed to reduce loss of fluid.
To replace the vein
Pull the skin and vein off the arm. While doing this make sure you
hold the simulator's shoulder (not the torso) with your other hand.
Route a new vein along the groove in the arm, leaving two
ends of approximately equal lengths. Support the vein so it does
not fall out of the groove while you pull on a new arm skin.
Slide a new arm skin over the arm and vein. Make sure that the
two holes line up with the ends of the groove close to the
shoulder. Use of talcum powder may ease this procedure.
Pull the open ends of the vein through the holes in the arm skin.
Replacing IV/IO Leg
When excessive leaking occurs at the IV/IO puncture sites,
the lower leg should be replaced by a new one.
To replace lower leg
Press the bolt in the knee part out of its seat.
Replace the lower leg with a new one.
Secure the leg by pressing the bolt into its seat.
