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. Use water only for the simulated injection fluid as colored fluids may stain the model.
2. Use only AA size batteries.
3. The model is made using 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 the alarm sensor sites will cause the alarm to sound. If this occurs,
please remove the needle immediately. Proceeding to inject the simulated injection fluid (water)
outside of 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 overflow of injection fluid
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, use a neutral solvent diluted with water. If this fails, wipe the Skin with a pieceof 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 injection sites in this model are in the upper outer quadrants of the buttocks. The model isdesigned to simulate the actual sensation of the human skeletal structure required to determine thecorrect injection sites.

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 injection site components and Skin are easy to replace.

3. How to use the LM-027
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 correct injection site is located on the
diagonal line bisecting the gluteal region’s upper right quadrant, and is 1/3 the distance from theiliac crest or the side of the body.
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 theinjection site, the model cannot absorb the simulated injection fluid (water).
5. After use, turn the power switch to OFF.
6. Refer to page 8 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.
2. After use, remove the injection site components from the model.
* Injection site components can be detached from the main body after ﬁrst removing the alarm
sensor protection net.

3. Dry the injection site component by squeezing out the simulated injection fluid (water) that has
accumulated in the muscular layer absorptive area.
