Deluxe IV Elbow
Directions for Use
The Deluxe IV Elbow (270-10101) is a full-size lifelike
elbow, which realistically simulates that of a patient. It
is specifically designed for training professionals in the
practice of venipuncture and injection in the antecubital
area.
As a result of the manufacturing quality this trainer
should provide many sessions of training when
reasonable care and maintenance is practiced*.
ITEMS INCLUDED:
(1) Deluxe IV Elbow
(1) Directions for Use
(1) Laerdal Global Warranty Booklet
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
1. Attach IV tubing to either latex vein.
2. Allow fluid to flow through the elbow and out the
other latex vein.
3. Clamp off the flow of water.
4. The simulator is now ready for use.
NOTE: We recommend nothing larger than a 21-gauge
syringe. This will extend the life of the skin and veins.
When using a catheter, lubricate it with silicone spray
for easier insertion.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
1. The unit should be drained after each use. NOTE: If
water is inadvertently injected into “tissue” it should
be squeezed out (not twisted) and left in a ventilated
area to dry out. This helps preserve the material.
2. The veins are made from tough, industrial tubing;
however, they will leak when put under unusually
high pressure. Normal infusion from an IV bag setup should not produce undue pressure.
3. When you have finished your training, the elbow
should be put up and allowed to air dry. This will
prevent molding or mildew.
4. When kept in a closed bag or box, the plastic used
to manufacture this product emits fumes that may
be somewhat offensive to some people and may be
