Setup for Simulation
Adjusting Fluid Flow
1 Remove the neck skin.
2 Locate the restrictor valves in the left and right clavicle area.
3 Activate secretion in the Circulation and Fluids Tab, then tighten or
loosen the actual valve until desired flow rate is achieved.
Note: Do not unscrew completely. Please note that only slight
adjustment should be necessary.
Replace the neckskin.
Administering IV Fluids
To prevent clogging of the IV system, use only purified water to
simulate IV drugs with SimMan 3G.
Acceptable types of purified water:
• Distilled water OR
• De-ionized water.
Priming the IV Arm System
1 Use a syringe to inject blood concentrate and 500 cc of water
into an IV bag with tubing. This will serve as the blood source.
Attach the "blood source" bag with IV tubing to one of the tubes
exiting the manikin's arm.
2 Attach an empty bag with IV tubing to the second tube exiting
the manikin's arm. This bag will serve as the collection reservoir.
3 Control the flow of blood from the arm, via the clamp on the
collection reservoir tubing. Put the collection bag on the floor to
allow the now closed system to gravity feed.
4 Hang the "blood source" bag from an IV pole and open the clamp
to allow concentrate to flow through arm.
Cleaning the IV Arm
Flush the IV arm with warm water at the end of each day.
