Laerdal Arterial Arm Stick Kit - Manual (Page 8)

Laerdal Recommends:
This product has been designed with drain holes throughout
arterial puncture sites. Fluid that escapes from punctures will
collect inside arm. Opening plug at top of arm can drain this
fluid.
If using blood concentrate, flush arterial tubing with clear
water prior to storing arm between training sessions. It is not
necessary to remove skin and arteries after use. Wipe off
excess moisture and allow to air dry to prevent odors.
Care and Maintenance:
1. Clean with mild soap and water; do not submerse in
cleaning fluids or water.
2. Use only on clean surface. Avoid felt tipped markers, ink
pens, acetone, iodine or other staining products and
avoid placing the manikin on newsprint or inked lines of
any kind.
3. To ensure longevity, module should be cleaned after
each training session and a general inspection should be
conducted regularly.
4. Modules and all other parts should be drained and air-
dried thoroughly before storage and disinfected when
needed. After use of injection pads (use water only),
accumulated water should be squeezed out. Do not
store wet foam pads in the skin. To prevent mildew
or mold, pads can be soaked in a mild solution of
disinfectant and water or bleach and water. Squeeze
excess solution from pads, allow them to dry, then store
or reinsert in manikin.
5. Articulating parts will benefit from a light application of
talcum powder prior to training sessions.
6. Store properly between teaching sessions.
