About the Simulator
This unique
Life
/
form
®
Peritoneal
Dialysis Simulator can provide the
opportunity to practice and demon-
strate all the procedures involved with
peritoneal dialysis.
With a full capacity reservoir embed-
ded inside the abdominal area, fluids
can be introduced and emptied as
they would be when treating a live
patient.
Because extreme care and rigid pro-
cedures are so important in peritoneal
dialysis, the opportunity provided
by this simulator to get repeated
and confirming practice can be very
important.
Accurate, external anatomical detail is
provided and ensured in this casting
made from molds formed directly from
a live volunteer.
NOTE: Original sponsorship for the
development of this product was
furnished by Abbott Labs.
Care and Cautions
1. Fluid Bags
The simulator uses an indwelling
Tenckhoff catheter to allow the
use of standard available fluid
bags.
2. Use of Solutions
Do not use povidone-iodine prep
solutions. These solutions will
indelibly stain the simulator.
3. Cleaning
Most dirt and stains can easily
be removed with a mild solution
of Ivory
®
liquid soap and water.
Most stubborn stains can be
removed with Nasco Cleaner
(LF09919U)
4. Adhesive Bandages
Most kinds of adhesive bandages
can easily be used. Use only
Glue-Off (LF01023U) for removing
residual adhesive. Apply thin
coat. Allow to dry. Rub off in a
circular motion.
5. Stains
The soft vinyl “skin” stains easily.
Avoid contact with newsprint or
other printed surfaces.
6. Storage
When not in continuous use, it
is recommended to store the
simulator in the furnished
storage case, or cover with a
cloth or sheet of plastic.
