5.2.2.
5.2.3.
Install an injection pad into the pit; hold the pad by the sidewalls and
do not pinch its surface when picking it up from the pit.
5.2.4.
Put the soft and curved side of the injection pad upwards and adjust the
direction to fit its edge line to the edge of the pit.
5.2.5.
5.3.2.
Push the plunger of the syringe so that the entire volume of water is
injected. When the injection is successful, a clear wheal will be
formed. When the needle tip penetrates too deep, an unclear or no
wheal will be formed.
5.3.3.
5.3.4.
Remove all water from the injection pad swiftly with a syringe after
each training session.

6. Precautions
6.1.
Remove all water from the injection pads after each training session since
remaining water may damage the pads.
6.2.
Store the simulator in the storage case at room temperature, away from heat,
moisture and direct sunlight.
6.3.
6.4.
Do not mark the simulator with pen or leave any printed materials in contact
with the surface since ink marks on the simulator are not removable.
6.5.
6.6.
Use water to perform an injection; do not use actual medical fluid or coloured
fluid in the injections since the latter may cause defacement of the injection
pad.
6.7.
Do not perform an injection at any other site of the simulator other than in the
injection pad.
6.8.
Do not leave water in injection pads after training as the remaining fluid may
cause separation of the material or other damages.
