Using the Training Model

Using the Training Model

This section has information and instructions about the setup and use of the training model and any specific 
training procedures.

Setup

Follow the guidelines below to unpack and set up your CAE Blue Phantom training model.

1. Open the shipping carton:

º    

Use extreme caution with sharp tools, such as a box cutter, to avoid damage to the training

model or plastic shipping shell.

2. Unpack the training model:

º    

Open the case and remove the training model. Use proper lifting techniques to prevent

bodily injury, as this model is heavy. 

º    

Make sure you support the head and neck of the model as you remove it from the case. 

Excessive stress due to improver support can result in damage to the head or neck.

º    

Review the equipment, accessories, and supplies. See the 

Equipment

 section of this guide 

for a list of items included with this model.

3. Set up the training model:

º    

Put the model in the supine position on a very stable patient bed, stretcher, or table rated 

to handle an excess of 200 lbs (91 Kg).

º    

Do not place the training model on an unstable platform. If it falls, it can cause serious injury 

to people and damage the model. 

º    

Place the model on smooth surfaces only. Rough or uneven surfaces can leave impression 

on the skin and damage the model. 

º    

Do not mark directly on the training model as this will permanently damage it.

Fluid Setup

The training model is shipped with minimal fluid in the fluid spaces. During periods of non-use, fluid may also 
evaporate from inside the model. Before first use, you must add fluid and remove any air.

In these models, three tubes connect to the heart:

• one to fill the right heart
• one to fill the left heart
• one to fill and adjust fluid levels in the pericardial space

NOTE: Within the cardiac anatomy, only the pericardial space has dynamic fluid adjustment to create 
different sizes of effusions. The tubes to the left and right heart are used only to refill those spaces if fluid 
evaporates over time.
