What consumables are required for ongoing training with this ultrasound trainer?

You’ll receive 1 fitted TruPICC insert and 1 bottle of artificial blood concentrate (250ml) with your initial delivery.

Inserts are tested to last for over 800 needle incisions, individual replacements are available
Concentrated blood usage will depend on frequency and accuracy of procedures, replacement bottles of concentrated blood come in packs of 5

____________________________________

The ultrasound images are poor quality, how can I improve the visuals?

The most common cause of poor image quality is air inside the blood. Inserting an additional 10-20ml of blood into the cephalic and basilic veins will normally resolve this issue.

____________________________________

What equipment is recommended for use with the TruPICC IV Training Arm?

For optimal performance when using the TruPICC, TruCorp recommend the following:

Size 20G needle for IV cannulation
Size 4F PICC catheter with soft tip guidewire, single lumen, approximately 55-60cm long

Please note: Do not use a needle larger than 18G, due to the nature of the TruUltra material, larger gauge needles could cause permanent damage, and may void the product warranty.
