8.1 Renewing the skin
Remove the skin as described under Section 6 and as shown in fig. 14.
To facilitate the mounting of the new skin, apply talcum to the inside before fitting.
Hold on to the skin at the elbow and shake the skin to distribute the talcum. Shake
off any excess talcum powder before mounting. The arm should be clean and dry
before a new skin is mounted and a small amount of talcum should be applied to the
outside.
Turn the skin inside out as indicated in fig. 20, and start by pulling the skin onto the
fingers. Next, pull the skin up over the arm (fig. 21). Pull the skin as far up the arm as
to cover the plastic ring and to bend approx. 5-10 mm into the groove of the elbow
joint. See photo and drawing (fig. 34). Make sure that the veins and the artery are
placed correctly. Compare instructions under Section 6 and in Fig. 17.
8.2 Renewing the veins and artery
Before the vein and artery tubes are disconnected, the system should be drained as
much as possible.
Disconnect the filling tube from the tube connector at the shoulder (fig. 22). Connect
the 50 ml syringe to the tube and draw fluid into the syringe. Repeat several times
until the reservoir is completely empty (fig. 23).
