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, see Attaching the Right Arm.

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.
