What is included with a new NITA Newborn™?
NITA Newborn™ is an anatomically correct model of a 4 lb., 16" long female baby. It comes with replaceable translucent "skins" on the head, right and left arm and right leg, accessible umbilicus (use only a 5FR umbilical catheter), blue veins, simulated blood reservoir bag with attached tubing, ID bracelet, diaper, quart of simulated blood, User's Manual and a durable, zippered, padded cloth carrying case.

Is there anything else I should consider ordering for NITA™ Newborn?
You may want to have a back-up supply of simulated blood – see items 1491 and 1494. Over time the "skins" and vein will need to be replaced due to the wear of repeated accessing – see accessories under 1800 on web site

What veins are displayed on the NITA Newborn™?
The following veins are presented: temporal, external jugular, post-auricular, basilic, cephalic, greater saphenous, dorsal arch and popliteal.

Does NITA Newborn™ come with a case?
Yes, a case is included at no extra charge.

Can I insert a PICC line on the NITA Newborn™?
Yes, a PICC line can be inserted at any of the normal access points.

Can I put an umbilical catheter in the umbilicus?
Yes, a unique valve permits a 5FR umbilical catheter to be inserted and "blood" can be withdrawn or fluid infused. PLEASE NOTE: Use of a size other than 5FR is not recommended, as leaking could result.

Can the "skins" on NITA Newborn™ be replaced?
Yes, the "skins" on the arms, the one leg and the head can all be easily replaced. All components on the model are available individually.

I don't always get a "flashback" when using small gauge needles. What am I doing wrong?
It is more difficult to get a "flashback" when using 26g needles and smaller. You can increase the likelihood of getting a "flashback" by increasing the height of the "blood" reservoir bag or by first ensuring that the cap of the "blood" reservoir bag is on tightly and then gently squeezing the bag to increase the pressure in the veins.

What do I use to clean the NITA Newborn™?
The model should be cleaned with soap and water or alcohol

Can I put dressings on the NITA Newborn™?
Dressings can be placed on all the surfaces of the model, but should be removed when training is completed. Do not leave dressing on overnight.

How do I remove residual adhesive?
You can use any adhesive remover normally used on a patient to remove residual adhesive.

Is this model available in a darkly pigmented color?
No, it is currently not available in a darkly pigment color.

Is there a discount if I order several products?
