IV Administration
Each IV site has an insert with a loop of tubing. The sites are filled and drained through tubing
running from the IV site up to the left shoulder.
Intramuscular (IM) Subcutaneous (SQ) Injection
Apollo allows for the administration of a deltoid IM/SQ injection. The injection site is located on
Apollo’s right shoulder.
To perform an IM/SQ injection, learners will need:
• IM/SQ injection pad
• Standard IM/SQ injection device (see Recommended Clinical Supplies)
• Alcohol pads
• Sharps container
• Receptacle
Intraosseous (IO) Cannulation and Administration
Apollo also allows for humeral intraosseous (IO) cannulation and administration. The designated IO
site are located on Apollo’s left shoulder and right tibia (optional). Use a 25 mm needle only with IO
cannulation.
No more than 1 ml of fluid should be flushed per cannulation. Ensure all liquid is removed from
previous use. Excessive bulging may occur when the IO reservoir is full of fluid. If the site is full or
bulging, use an inserted IO needle with a syringe to withdraw and discard 5 - 10 ml of excess fluid.
Note: The IO site is designed to support 10 cannulations and does not support full infusion of fluids.
Ensure the IO site is properly aligned in the shoulder, with the “top” indicator toward the manikin’s
head.
