USER GUIDE

CAUTION: Do not store the simulator with a discharged battery. It is good practice to
recharge the battery at the end of every simulation session. In addition, make sure the
battery is recharged at least once every month even if the simulator is not being used.
WARNING: To avoid damage to the simulator, please store and ship it
in the clear poly bag provided.
Procedures
· Do not attempt to intubate without lubricating the airway adjunct with
mineral
oil
lubricant. Failure to lubricate
the device will make intubation very difficult and is likely to result in damage to the simulator.
· Mouth to mouth resuscitation without a barrier device is not recommended, as it will contaminate the airway.
· Treat the simulator with the same precautions that would be used with a
real
patient.
Cleaning
· The simulator should be cleaned with a cloth dampened with diluted liquid dish washing soap.
· Remove all traces of any lubricant.
· Do not clean with harsh abrasives.
· Do not use povidone iodine on the simulator.
· Dry thoroughly.
· The simulator is “splash-proof” but not water-proof. Do not submerge or allow water to enter the interior of the
simulator.
IV Arm
WARNING: Vein tubing contains latex which may cause allergic
reactions. Users allergic or sensitive to latex should avoid contact.
Discontinue use of this product and seek medical attention if an
allergic reaction occurs.
· Only use Gaumard's simulated blood provided in the standard package. Any other simulated blood containing
sugar or any additive may cause blockage and/or interruption of the veins in the IV arm.
· The use of needles larger than 22 or 23 gauge will reduce the lifetime of the arm skin and veins.
· Always purge with clean water, then drain the vein reservoirs at the end of each simulation session. Doing so
will retard the formation of mold and prevent clogging of the system.
· We recommend flushing veins with a 70:30 mix of clean water to isopropyl alcohol (IPA) after each use to
prolong the life of the vasculature.
