Thank You For Your Purchase! Thank you for your purchase of VATA’s Peter PICC Line™ – 0600. Peter PICC Line™ – 0600 allows the teaching, practice and assessment of placing PICC lines.

Set-up Instructions 1. Add 400cc of distilled water to the fluid bag and place on an IV stand or similar device. Some customers have reported that adding a couple drops of clear dish soap to the water helps with the advancement of the PICC. Confirm roller clamp is closed. 2. Place the model in an upright position, with the partial chin in a superior orientation. Remove the white cap on the arm vein tubing which exits at the distal end of the arm. Attach the fluid bag tubing set to the distal end of the arm vein and elevate the bottom of the fluid bag approximately 2" above the model. 3....

Set-up Instructions, Cont. 4. When fluid fills the entire length of the clear tubing at the neck, close the snap clamp and re-attach the white cap. Place Peter PICC Line™ in a supine position and hang the bottom of the fluid bag approximately 2" inches above the model. CAUTION: Due to the large size of the needles used in placing PICC Lines, do not hang the fluid bag higher than 2" inches above the model, as increasing the height will elevate the pressure in the veins, resulting in the increased possible leakage from the veins. Some leakage at the insertion site is normal. 5. Peter PICC...

Storing Instructions 1. After use, drain the model by closing the roller clamp on the fluid bag and emptying the bag. 2. Place the distal end of the arm over a sink and disconnect the fluid bag tubing set from the end of the arm. Remove the white cap and open the snap clamp on the short 6" piece of clear tubing that exits from the top of the chin to begin draining. 3. Once the fluid has stopped draining, pick up the model and rock side to side, as shown, to insure all fluid has been removed. Let air-dry and then return to the case for storage. Helpful Hints • Use the recommended distilled...
