Priming the Epidural Site
If cerebrospinal fluid aspiration is desired, the epidural site must be primed before use.
To prime the epidural system:
1. Ensure the epidural system is empty prior to priming (as described in
Administering an Epidural ).
2. Fill a 50 mL syringe with distilled water.
3. Connect the filled syringe to the epidural port and slowly depress the
syringe until no water remains in the syringe.
4. Reconnect the luer access split septum to the epidural port.
Administering Suppositories
Up to five small, aspirin-sized suppositories can be administered via the simulator’s rectum.
The suppositories must be removed and the rectum cleaned after administration.
For information on how to clean the rectum, see the Care and Maintenance section of this user guide.
