IV Arm cleaning

Daily cleaning

When the day’s sessions are done, flush the IV Arm with air to remove any fluid/liquid in the system. Connect a syringe filled with air to the IV catheter, and flush the IV Arm with air until only air exits the overflow tube.

Before storage or shipping

Flush the IV Arm system with Isopropanol 60%-70%, and then flush with air.

Regular cleaning of IV Arm

Regular cleaning of the IV arm system is recommended as part of proper care of the product. Once or twice a month, the IV Arm system should be cleaned thoroughly

NOTE

Do not use force if the IV fluid system seems blocked; it is likely that the simulator is not turned on.

  1. Ensure that the simulator’s power is ON, and that the IV Arm is properly connected.

  2. Connect a syringe filled with Isopropanol 60%-70% to the IV catheter, and flush the IV Arm System with it.

  3. Connect a syringe filled with air to the IV catheter, and flush the IV Arm until only air exits the overflow tube.

NOTE

Never store the simulator with isopropanol or liquid in the IV Arm System.
