Directions for Use

The haptic device contains three (3) separate regions: (1) The top of the
device is for vein palpation and pressure application, (2) The middle of the
device is for needle insertion, and (3) The bottom of the device is for skin
stretch:

An icon of the haptic device appears in the upper right corner and will show you when and how
to interact with he haptic device. To begin the procedure, the specimen tube must be completely
removed from the multi-sample needle.

** Special note: Under no circumstances should any needle other than those supplied
with the Virtual Phlebotomy Self-Directed Learning System ever be used with the
haptic device.

The tourniquet can be placed on the arm to enhance vein engorgement. However, be aware that the
trainee is negatively assessed if the constricting band is left on the arm for too long.
