Handling and Safety Precautions
These precautions should be strictly observed in order to ensure safe,
long-term use of the product.
The following precautions should be observed particularly strictly:
1. Only use water for the simulated injection fluid, as colored fluids may stain the model.
2. Only use AA size batteries.
3. The model is made with special silicone rubber to simulate the texture of human skin, so werecommend that it be handled carefully in the same manner as an actual person.
4. Inserting an injection needle in any part of the alarm sensor site will cause the alarm to sound. If
this occurs, please remove the needle immediately. Proceeding to inject the simulated injection
fluid (water) into an area other than the correct injection site may cause the model to malfunction.
5. Fill the syringe with the simulated injection fluid (water) before attempting to use the model.
Failing to use a full syringe may prevent the alarm from sounding when the needle is inserted
outside of the correct injection site.
6. If the alarm fails to sound after injecting the alarm sensor site while the power lamp is illuminated,check to see if the low battery (LOW BATT) lamp is lit up. If the LOW BATT lamp is lit up, please
replace the batteries. If the LOW BATT lamp is not lit up, please contact the supplier to have themodel repaired.
7. The simulated injection fluid (water) should only be injected after the needle tip has been
inserted at least 20 mm into the correct injection site. If the needle is inserted less than 20 mm
into the injection site, the model cannot absorb the simulated injection fluid (water) and the fatty
layer may also be damaged.
8. Use injection needles with a size of 22~23G, and with a total length of 20 mm or more.

9. The supplied drainage tube is 2 meters in length, so please cut it to a suitable length before use.
Using the tube in its original length may impede drainage and cause injection fluid to overflow
from the injection site.

10. Do not wash or submerge the model in water.
11. Apply baby powder or a similar product to the Skin if it feels oily to the touch.
12. To clean the Skin, remove it from the model and use a neutral solvent diluted with water. If thisfails, wipe the Skin with a piece of gauze moistened with ethanol. Do not use thinners, benzene
or similar solvents.
13. Attached batteries are for the usage of operation check. There is a possibility that battery life isshort.

1. Description & features
Description
The model's injection sites correspond to the measurement methods of von Hochstetter and Clark,
and it is designed to simulate the actual sensation of the human skeletal structure required todetermine the correct injection site.

Features1. Inserting the injection needle into an area other than the correct injection site causes thealarm to sound.
2. Users can practice a range of injection procedures, including needle puncture and infusionof simulated injection fluid (water). The injection fluid is discharged from the model via thedrainage tube.
3. The model closely simulates the human body so that users can practice locating andmaintaining the correct injection site and performing injections at various angles underrealistic conditions.
4. The model features a stand so that injections with the patient in a lateral recumbent
position can also be practiced.
5. The injection site components and Skin are easy to replace.

1. Insert the connector of the supplied drainage tube into the model's drainage connector, andplace the other end of the drainage tube into a bucket or container.
2. Turn the power switch to ON and make sure that the power lamp is illuminated. If the LOW BATT
lamp is lit up, change the batteries before attempting to use the model.
3. Inserting an injection needle in any part of the alarm sensor site will cause the alarm to sound. If
this occurs, please remove the needle immediately. The model's injection sites correspond to themeasurement methods of von Hochstetter and Clark.
4. The simulated injection fluid (water) should only be injected after the needle tip has been
inserted at least 20 mm into the correct injection site. If the needle is inserted less than 20 mm
into the injection site, the model cannot absorb the simulated injection fluid (water).
5. After use, turn the power switch to OFF.
6. Refer to page 8 and 9 for instructions on how to care for the model after use.

1. To replace the Skin, unzip the Skin zipper and remove it from the model. Do not use excessive
force when removing the Skin to avoid damaging it.

The Skin zipper runs from the left
abdomen to the thigh.

4. The left and right injection site components are different, so check for the left (L) or right (R)marking on the side of the component.
1) Make sure that the drainage notch on the side of the injection site component aligns with thedrainage hole inside the main body before inserting it.
2) Apply some baby powder to the side of the injection site component if it is difficult to insert.
3) Be careful not to insert the injection site component upside down. Proceeding to inject thesimulated injection fluid (water) into an area other than the correct injection site may cause themodel to malfunction.
