Before use of the SAIV System, Shoe Mounting Kits must be installed in selected cages. Utilizing the adhesive backing on the Shoes and Tubing clips they can be mounted in cages with Stainless Steel, painted steel, Formica or plastic tops. With modification shoes can also be mounted on mesh steel cage tops (contact International WIN, Ltd. for advice). The shoes become an integral part of the cage, are reusable and are sealed to enable thorough cleaning and disinfection. The steps for typical installation follow.

Before starting gather together a yard stick, “magic marker” pen and a Shoe Mounting Kit (Reorder Number 9100).

Start with a clean, dry cage. Remove any residual soap or fatty substance in an area approximately 8 inches in diameter around the approximate top center of the cage with the alcohol pad enclosed in the mounting kit. Also wipe a 3 inch wide strip of the top of the cage leading from the previously cleaned circle to the front of the cage along the approximate left-to right centerline. Allow the alcohol to dry.

Determine the true top center point of the cage with a yard stick. With the yard stick on edge place it diagonally across the top of the cage and place a small mark with the pen at the mid-point of the diagonal distance. Repeat the procedure along the opposite diagonal. The point between the to marks is the center point.

Next mark the left to right center point along the front of the cage.

The next step is mount the Shoe. BE VERY CAREFUL as it is possible to mount the Shoe BACKWARDS. The shoe loads in only one end and this end should face forward towards the front of the cage. The shoe has a thin trailing surface. Think of this thin surface as a “tail”. The tail should be facing toward the back of the cage. In this picture the technician’s left thumb and forefinger are grasping the “tail”.

Remove the protective backing from the adhesive on the underside of the Shoe and attach the shoe to the top center of the cage.

Press the Shoe firmly to the cage top at multiple sites on the shoe and hold pressure at the sites for at least 10 seconds. Pressure and time are important to insure a long lasting instillation.

Attach the 2 tubing tabs. These tabs hold the I.V. set tubing leading to the swivel/coil along the top centerline of the cage. First, divide the distance from the front of the Shoe to the cage front into thirds along the left-to-right centerline. Place a small pen mark at the 2 sites. In turn, remove the protective backing from the 2 tubing tabs and adhere the tabs (preferably slightly off center so the tube clips are along the centerline) to the top of the cage at the marks.

Hold thumb pressure on the tabs for at least 15 seconds to insure good adhesion.
