IV Arm

A visual inspection should be performed after each use of the IV
arm. If there is noticeable leakage from the veins or the skin is
torn or damaged it is time to replace the IV arm. See page 12
for instructions on how to uninstall/install the IV arm. Contact
your local Laerdal Representative for more information.

Caution: The internal veins are composed of latex.
