REMOVING AND REPLACING THE IV ARM PAD
3 Remove excess blood that may accumulate in the IV
Arm chassis.
4 When replacing the IV arm pad, ensure that it is pressed
firmly into place.
1 Ensure that the Tourniquet Area is not activated i.e.
remove the tourniquet.
2 Remove the IV Arm Pad by pulling at the tabs on edge
of the IV pad.
5 Fill and Prime the system as instructed in the previous section
REFILLING THE IV ARM WITH BLOOD
1 If the veins do not respond (energize) when the
tourniquet is applied it is likely that the system requires
refilling with blood.
2 Connect a blood filled syringe and slowly fill with no
more than 16ml of blood or until you feel resistance.
Remove the Syringe.
The IV Arm is now ready for use.
