FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
1. Is there some kind of an introduction that shows me how to use this product?
The System Tutorial Video, accessible from the Main Menu Screen, will show you how to use the prod-
uct, as well as the text in this user manual. To access the Main Menu login as:
Username: demouser1 or demouser2
Password: password
2. After selecting a body part and site, can I go back to select a different region?
Yes, and it is not necessary to “go back”. There is an icon for site selection directly above the circular
simulation window on the simulation screen.
3. Can the instructor select specific supplies and configure the training standards?
Yes, in the Instructor Module, supplies and assessment items are configurable and can be set to
appropriate local protocols.
4. Our local standards of practice do not call for, or restrict the use of, certain items that are avail-
able on the equipment screen or are required for successful completion of the procedure, such
as the use of goggles or application of iodine to the arm.
Many options are configurable by the instructor using the Configuration section of the Instructor mod-
ule. By turning specific assessment items on or off, it is possible to tailor the system to train to your
local protocols.
5. Why can’t I continue to palpate the vein as I’m inserting the needle?
Proper I.V. insertion technique specifies simultaneous skin stretch and insertion. Thus, unless you have
a helper, simultaneous skin stretch, palpation and insertion would require more then two hands.
However, if you do palpate, you will palpate approximately ½” proximal to the insertion site.
6. Is there audio feedback… like the patient saying something or making a noise when I stick him?
No, it was felt by the clinical design team that this could become annoying to the user over multiple
uses, although in future versions of the product audio such as this may become a configurable option.
Audio is provided during the training videos, and when the needle engages the haptic device.
