The Ports
4. Depress the syringe until no water remains in the syringe and disconnect from the IV
FILL port
WARNING: If a flashback does not occur, do NOT inject any fluid and remove the needle immediately.
Repeat the priming directions and ensure you have inserted the needle properly into the simulated
vein.
Note: Fluids and medications can be administered intravenously by attaching the tubing from a
standard IV solution set to the desire IV access site. If administering more than 300 mL, connect an
external empty IV bag and tubing to the IV DRAIN port located on the left side of the manikin’s torso
to prevent overfilling the simulator.
Note: Do not remove or modify the black port plugs.
Administering Suppositories
Up to five small, aspirin-sized suppositories can be administered via the simulator’s rectum.
The suppositories must be removed and the rectum cleaned after administration.
For information on how to clean the rectum, see the Care and Maintenance
section of this user guide.
