Replacing veins: (Keeping skin)
1 . Lubricate inside of skin with liquid detergent; let it flow down
into the finger area .
2 . Begin at top of arm and slowly pull skin down and off of arm .
Do not roll, as that will cause skin to bind .
3 . Remove tubing from track in mandrel . Glue may need
to be scraped away to allow removal .
4 . Rinse and dry vein grooves well and swab with alcohol .
Be sure to remove any excess glue .
5 . Place new veins along grooves, (Figure 5) spot gluing
as needed . (We recommend a fast-drying glue .)
6 . Generously lather arm mandrel with liquid soap .
Heat arms skins before replacing on mandrel .
This can be done with a blow-dryer .
7 . Slide hand into skin .
8 . Work skin over fingers, as with a glove .
9 . Work arm skin up, over mandrel .

Genitalia:
Both male and female genitalia have been provided for urinary
catheterization and enema training procedures .
Tube-like valves, with a screw cap on one end, connect urethra and anus
to corresponding reservoirs . This cap must be connected to genitalia
openings . Soft vinyl end of connector is attached to urinary and anal
reservoirs with a white clamp . (Long valve connects urinary reservoir;
short valve connects anal reservoir .)
Pelvic support pin must
be removed and replaced
immediately when assembling
and disassembling genitalia .
(Figure 6)
Pelvic support pin must be replaced.
Failure to replace pin will result in pelvic spread .
If this occurs, the genitalia module will no longer fit
properly in the manikin .
To disassemble:
1 . Lift up on belly plate .
2 . Pull upper portion of genitalia back to remove pelvic
support pin .
3 . Belly plate, genitalia with connectors, and colon reservoir
may now be removed simultaneously .
To assemble: (Photos 5, 6 & 7)
