2.Do not use any needle larger than 18 gauge or permanent damage to your modelmay occur.
3.Smaller bore needles (>21 gauge) can bend during use and damage your model’ssimulated tissue.
4.Aggressive repositioning of needles rather than removing and repositioning cancause stubborn or permanent needle tracks due to the needle tip dragging throughthe simulated tissue.
5.Dull needles may also cause permanent damage to the tissue. It is important toreplace needles approximately every ten cannulations.
6.If you strike bone during training, remove the needle and replace it beforere-inserting. Striking bone can cause the needle to become dull.
7.Accessing arteries may result in the presence of refill solution dimples at previouscannulation sites; this does not indicate that your training model is damaged.
