Unwrap the arm and body. Set the bag of additional
parts, packed with the torso, aside for use later. Place
the torso on a flat surface in an upright position.
Remove the wing nut from the arm, keeping the
bolt in place, and align the bolt with the hole in the
right shoulder; insert and reattach the wing nut
(see fig. 4).
If you are going to use injection caps or needleless
access caps, attach before attaching the simulated
“blood” reservoir bag. On the backside of the torso,
locate the simulated “blood” reservoir bag and remove
from torso. Carefully remove the white cap on the
simulated blood reservoir bag, taking care not to let
the liquid leak out and attach the female leur fitting to
the male leur fitting on the bottom of the triple parallel
tubing (see fig. 5).
Replace the reservoir bag behind the white retention
strap, making sure that the tubing attached to the
bag is positioned exiting the bag from the bottom
(see fig. 6).
Do not position reservoir bag with tubing exiting from
the top as you will withdraw air (see fig. 7).
To prime the tubing with simulated blood attach a
syringe to the tunneled central venous catheter and
drawback to remove all the air in the line. Be sure the
snap clamp is open on the catheter. This procedure
may need to be repeated depending on the size of
your syringe. You are done when the simulated blood
is visible in the syringe (see fig. 8).

Then remove the Chest Tissue Flap on the left
side of the chest (do not place on printed papers
as this can stain the tissue flap), attach a Huber
needle to a syringe and access the port. Repeat
the procedure used to prime the tunneled central
venous catheter, until simulated blood is visible
in the syringe (see fig. 9). If you have ordered
your model with optional subclavian or jugular
catheters, prime using steps for tunneled central
catheters (see fig. 9).
The torso is now primed and ready for use.
Please note that one of the three parallel tubing
sets is not used and has a cap attached to the
male leur connector. This tubing set is provided
should you wish to add a subclavian or jugular
catheter (purchase of a special connector may be
needed for some catheters).
To prime the arm tubing, attach injection caps or
needless access devices on the IV catheters and
dual lumen PICC before attaching the simulated
blood reservoir bag. On the backside of the arm,
open all snap clamps (see fig. 10).
Attach a syringe to each side of the dual lumen
PICC and withdraw air, until simulated “blood”
is visible in the syringe. This procedure may
need to be repeated, depending on the size of
your syringe. Repeat this procedure with the IV
catheter (see fig. 11A & 11B). If you have ordered
your arm with the optional peripheral port, attach
a Huber needle to a syringe, access the port and
withdraw air until simulated blood is visible in the
syringe (see fig. 12). The arm is now primed and
ready for use.
