Use and care
Is the fluid suitable for every VATA trainer?
No. The supplier advises against using either blood formulation in Peter PICC Line 0600 because it can obscure the catheter tip in the viewing vial. The thicker 2491/2494 formulation is also unsuitable for Nita Newborn and Advanced Venipuncture models, where it may impede flashback through small catheters.
Is it guaranteed not to stain?
No. It is stain-resistant rather than non-staining. If it reaches fabric, the supplier recommends washing promptly in cold water.
Why is the bottle only partly filled?
The supplied product is a concentrate. Add the labelled amount of distilled water to prepare the intended volume.
