Method B: IV Bag/Quick-Fill port for high volume use
1. Connect an IV bag containing CAE Blue Phantom fluid to the fill tube.
2. Hang the IV bag no more than 12 inches (30 cm) above the training model to avoid overfilling.
3. As users withdraw fluid, it is refilled continuously from the IV bag
- NOTE: A clear sign of overfill is the appearance of small dimples of simulated fluid on the

- Optimal filled vessel: An optimally-filled vessel can be identified using ultrasound by the presence of a black echo-free lumen.
