Infant Virtual I.V.
Directions for Use
Using the Haptic Device
The haptic device simulates the basic elements of intravenous cannulation in the infant. It supports
tasks such as palpation, occlusion, double-sided skin stretch and needle insertion. The next few pages
show the basic ways to manipulate the haptic device in the performance of the procedure.
The following schematic depicts the various parts and functions of the haptic device, shown from
above. The device should always be placed on a flat, level surface.
** Special Note: Under no circumstances should any needle or catheter other than
those supplied with the Infant Virtual I.V. Self-Directed Learning System ever be
used with the Haptic Device.
