Troubleshooting the IV Arm
Problem
– Veins do not energize.
Solution:
– Ensure Patient Simulator is powered on and IV Arm cable and air
tube are connected to the Patient Simulator.
– Ensure the blood reservoir is filled, see Filling and priming the
system.
– Ensure the tourniquet area is activated (depressed).
– Look for a leak between the IV Arm pad and the IV Arm chassis.
– If the tourniquet area has been activated several times within a
short period of time, internal pressure in the IV Arm may drop.
Wait 30 seconds to let pressure rebuild and try again.
Problem
– When injecting more than 40ml fluid and prime switch is
depressed, no fluid is visible in the drain tube.
Solution
– Leak inside IV Arm. Contact Laerdal Technical Service.
Problem
– After releasing the prime switch and filling the internal reservoir,
more than 16ml of fluid can be injected into the arm.
Solution
– Leak inside the IV Arm. Contact Laerdal Technical service
Problem
– There is a leak between IV Arm Pad and IV Arm chassis.
Solution
– Ensure the IV Arm Pad is fully inserted and secure in the IV Arm
chassis.
– If this does not help, too high pressure has been applied to the
IV Arm Pad during the filling process. Replace the IV Arm Pad.
Problem
– No flashback when inserting Intravenous Catheter into IV Arm
Pad
Solution
– Ensure that the collection bag is at the same elevation as the IV
