Laerdal Standard IV Hand Trainer - Manual (Page 3)

STANDARD IV HAND TRAINER
The Standard IV Hand Trainer (270-05001) is a full-size, lifelike hand,
which realistically simulates the hand of a male patient. It is
specifically designed for training professionals in the practice of
venipuncture and injection in the dorsum of the hand.
The manufacturing excellence of this trainer should provide many
sessions of training when reasonable care and maintenance is
practiced.
Items Included:
(1) Standard IV Hand Trainer
(1) Manikin Lubricant
(1) Laerdal Global Warranty Booklet
(1) Directions for Use
Instructions for Use:
1. Attach IV tubing to either end of latex vein.
2. Allow fluid to flow through hand and out the other latex vein.
3. Clamp off the flow of water.
4. The simulator is now ready to practice venipuncture.
NOTE: We recommend nothing larger that a 21-gauge needle. This will
extend the life of the skin and veins. When using a catheter,
lubricate it with lubricant spray for easier insertion.
Replacing Skin and Veins:
When excessive leaking occurs at the puncture sites, a new vein
system should be installed to reduce loss of fluid. The ideal work area
when replacing skin and veins is at a sink.
1. If replacing both the skin and veins, cut the skin off and discard.
The thumb will detach with the skin (the new skin has the thumb
already installed). If the skin is not damaged and you wish to reuse
it, then lubricate the inside of the skin with liquid detergent. Begin
at the top of the hand and roll the skin down and off of the hand.
2. Remove old veins and discard.
3. Rinse and dry vein grooves and swab with alcohol. Place new veins
along grooves, spot gluing as needed, extending both veins beyond
arm at least 4” to allow room to make connections.
