Thank you for your purchase of VATA’s Advanced Venipuncture Training Aid™ –
2365/2366
This model is made with two of VATA’s proprietary materials, Dermalike ll™ and
Dermalike V™. The tissue pad is made with Dermalike ll™ and when used according
to the instructions, offers many unique properties.
Some of the properties are:
• This model is rated for 3,600 needle accesses, though customers often report that
they can access many more times than this
• 60% less needle drag when puncturing, which results in a much more realistic
experience
• Improved tear resistance, extending the lifespan of the product
• Feels and palpates like human tissue for a more realistic learning experience
The veins are made of VATA’s latex free Dermalike V™. This material has properties
more similar to real veins compared to the latex tubing still being used by other
manufacturers.
The Advanced Venipuncture Training Aid™ – 2365/2366 features four barely
discernable blue veins of 3 different diameters – with the fourth vein deeply placed – in
a semi-transparent, tissue-like pad. When accessing a realistic “ashback” of simulated
blood conrms the proper needle placement. An optional carrying case, with storage
pouch for supplies, is available (see page 10, 0385).
Please read the entire User’s Manual carefully before using the model to ensure that
you understand the proper care and use of this device. This will also avoid situations
that may not be covered by the warranty, and help you to enjoy the maximum benets.
With exceptional “true to life” feel when accessing and the elimination of potential
reactions for those with latex sensitivity, this is a truly welcomed advancement in
anatomical teaching models.
As always we welcome your suggestions and comments concerning our products, as
many signicant improvements and new product ideas have been the result of our
customers’ suggestions.

Helpful Hints
• There are four veins of three different sizes in this model. The front area of the
base displays four red circles that are the same size as the inside diameters of
the veins for visualization of the spaces when accessing. The large vein on the
left is deeply placed. Though the veins may visually appear large, accessing
and achieving a ashback can be challenging.
• The life of the veins will be maximized by the use of 20g needles in the large
and medium veins and 24g needles or smaller in the small vein. By changing
the access location each time and using sharp, non-burred needles, you can
access this venipuncture model 3,600 times, though customers often report that
they can access many more times than this.
• Store at to avoid deformation. Check that stopcock, bubble trap and bubble
trap cap are snapped securely in place before closing cover. Do not store with
items on top of the vein pad as it will take on the impression permanently.
Always store with the cover in place over the Dermalike II™ vein pad.
• All veins will produce a realistic “ashback” when accessed.
• The simulated blood is stain resistant.
• Avoid the use of dull or burred needles as these will damage the veins and
cause premature leakage.
• Depending on use, over time, it may become necessary to replace the tissue
pad and veins of the model. Replacement tissue pad/veins, items #2381/#2382,
are available for purchase and take approximately 5 minutes to install/replace.
See video: www.vatainc.com/2365video
• The simulated blood provided is only for use in models and is not intended for
any other use. To replace, use VATA’s simulated blood, items #1491 quart or
#1494 gallon. We do not recommend using VATA’s thicker simulated blood,
items #2491 quart or #2494 gallon, as the thicker blood does not ow as easily
though the veins. Our simulated blood is stain resistant. For best results, rinse
fabric with cold water as soon as possible after coming in contact with simulated
blood.
• Cleaning of the vein pad is best done by wiping with an alcohol wetted,
non-linting cloth. The pad should be permitted to air dry and then powdered with
cornstarch baby talc. Any excess talc can be removed with a dry cloth. If at any
time the vein pad becomes tacky to the touch, talc should be applied.
