Directions for Use
6.1 Software Overview
The Virtual Phlebotomy Self-Directed Learning System software consists of two distinct parts:
(1) The basic menus screens, which present the case scenario, provide assessment of
performance, and support many other functions; and
(2) The simulation training sequence that enables interaction between the trainee
inserting the needle and the three-dimensional (3D) model of the arm, (Described
in the Quick Start Chapter)
The following section describes the Basic menu screens (Section 6.2), while the Training Sequence is
covered in Chapter 7.
WARNING
Precautions when using the simulation software
• The Virtual Phlebotomy Self-Directed Learning System has been designed to work on the com-
puter supplied with the product. The computer is an integral part of the system. It will not work
on other computer platforms, because of its requirements for very specifi c, high speed graphics
capabilities. Do not attempt to install and run this software on any other computer other than that
which has been provided by the manufacturer.
• No software should be installed on the computer supplied with the Virtual Phlebotomy Self-
Directed Learning System, except for those products supplied by the manufacturer of the
software.
• Running any program, such as anti-virus software, on the computer supplied with the simulator, may
cause the Virtual Phlebotomy Self-Directed Learning System to crash or slow the simulation to
an unstable condition. This is a dedicated computer and should not be used for other purposes,
except those explicitly stated by the software manufacturer.
