The
Pediatric Multi-Venous IV Training Arm (375-
71001) is a lifelike manikin arm, which realistically
simulates a 6-year-old patient. It is specifically
designed for training professionals in the practice of
venipuncture.
The manufacturing excellence and ease of replacing
trainer individual parts should warrant many sessions
of training when reasonable care and maintenance is
practiced.

Replacing Veins and Skin:
When excessive leaking occurs at puncture sites,
either a new multi-vein system or skin should be
installed to reduce loss of fluid. The recommended
work area is at a sink.
Replacing Skin and Veins:
1. Cut off skin. This can be done with a sharp
knife or scalpel.
Replacing Veins:
1. Lubricate inside of skin with liquid detergent.
2. Begin at top of arm and roll skin down and of arm and
hand. Thumb will detach with skin. (See Fig. 1)

If reusing arm skin after replacing tubing, make
sure thumb insert is in place before continuing.
Thumb is already installed in new skin.
3. Remove tubing from track in mandrel. Tack
glue may need to be cut away to allow removal.
4. Rinse and dry vein grooves well and swab with
alcohol. Be sure to remove any excess glue.
5. Place new veins along grooves, spot gluing as
needed. (See Fig. 2)

Care and Maintenance:
1. Clean with mild soap and water; do not submerse
manikin or parts in cleaning fluids or water.
2. Use only on clean surface. Avoid felt tipped
markers, ink pens, acetone, iodine or other staining
products and avoid placing the manikin on
newsprint or inked lines of any kind.
3. To ensure longevity, each manikin and module
should be cleaned after each training session and a
general inspection should be conducted regularly.
4. Modules and all other parts should be drained and
air-dried thoroughly before storage and disinfected
when needed. After use of injection pads (use water
only), accumulated water should be squeezed out.
Do not store wet foam pads in the skin. To
prevent mildew or mold, pads can be soaked in a
mild solution of disinfectant and water or bleach and
water. Squeeze excess solution from pads, allow
them to dry, then store or reinsert in manikin.
5. Articulating parts will benefit from a light application
of talcum powder prior to training sessions.
6. Store properly between teaching sessions.
