Maintaining the simulator requires careful treatment of electronic and mechanical components. Each
time the simulator is assembled or disassembled, make sure all components are properly handled
and correctly removed or placed into storage.
Note
:
Allhardware components within the simulator are user-serviceable. Consult CAE Healthcare
Customer Service to address any hardware maintenance concerns.
General Simulator Care
• Avoid the use of writing instruments and sharp objects near the patient simulator to
prevent tears or unattractive markings in or on the skin.
• A mild detergent and warm water removes most marks and stains. Gently rub the soiled
area with a soft cloth. DO NOT use solvents or abrasive pads.
• Lubricate airway adjuncts with cottonseed oil spray prior to insertion. DO NOT use water-
based lubricant.
• Prior to using moulage of any kind, and to make cleansing the simulator’s skin easier,
lightly apply petroleum jelly to the simulator’s skin, followed by a light amount of talcum
powder (unscented baby powder).
Storage
Prior to storing the simulator, clean the manikin and inspect it for damage or puncture marks. If
damage exists, contact CAE Healthcare Customer Service immediately for a repair. Prompt repair
prevents expansion of the damaged area.
IMPORTANT
: Do not attempt to open or repair any simulator components. Doing so may void the
warranty.
Store the manikin indoors, away from direct sunlight. All other equipment should be stored in a dry
room and protected from dust.
Note
: Prior to using the manikin, ensure it reaches ambient temperature.
