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 section.

2 Connect a syringe filled with Isopropanol 60%-70% to the IV

Catheter. Press the prime switch, and flush the IV Arm system
with Isopropanol. Release the prime switch when done.

3 Connect a syringe filled with air to the IV Catheter. Press the

prime switch, and flush the IV Arm system until only air exits the
drain tube. Release the prime switch when done.

Note: Never store the simulator with Isopropanol or liquid in the
IV Arm system.
