Multi-Venous IV Arm -
Multiple Venipuncture Sites:
• Dorsal Veins of Hand (3)
• Antecubital
• Cephalic Vein
• Median Vein
• Basilic Vein
Instructions for Use:
1. Attach IV Bag to IV tubing.
2. Attach IV tubing to either latex vein.
3. Allow fluid to flow through arm and out other latex vein.
4. Clamp off flow of fluid.
Laerdal Recommends
We recommend nothing larger than a 22 gauge catheter. This will extend
the life of the IV Arm. When using a catheter, lubricate with soft soap and
water or spray with manikin lubricant for easier insertion.
The arm is now ready to practice venipuncture.
Laerdal Recommends
When excessive leaking occurs at puncture sites, either a new
vein system or skin should be installed to reduce loss of fluid.
We recommend working at a sink when replacing
the skin and vein system.
Replacing Skin and Veins -
To replace skin and veins:
1. Cut off skin. This can be done with a sharp knife or scalpel. (Figure1)
2. Discard skin.
Fig. 1
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. Thumb will detach with skin.
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 2) spot gluing as needed.
(We recommend a fast-drying glue.)

6. Generously lather arm mandrel with liquid soap.
7. Slide hand into skin.
Laerdal Recommends
Heat arms skins before replacing on mandrel.
This can be done with a hair-dryer.
8. Work skin over fingers, as with a glove.
9. Work arm skin up, over mandrel. (Figure 3)

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 genitalia to the
corresponding reservoirs. The 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.
Laerdal Recommends
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.
The belly plate with ileostomy plug contains the urinary reservoir. To fill
reservoir, remove plug, fill, then reinsert plug.
