Cleaning
Cleaning should be performed after every training session.
WARNING: Do not use hydrocarbon solvents on the mannequin, as they will dissolve the
mannequin’s skin.
WARNING: Do not immerse the mannequin or peripherals in liquid or use abundant liquid to
wash the mannequin.
IMPORTANT: Do not use lubrication or other liquids with the TEE Probe.
To clean the mannequin:
1. Clean the surface of the mannequin and probe with a non-abrasive cloth
dampened with a soft soap and water solution.
2. Use a soft, dry cloth to dry the mannequin and probe.
3. Applying a light amount of talcum powder (unscented baby powder) will
alleviate the mannequin stickiness.
Standard cleaning procedures should be observed for the computer, monitor and peripherals.
To remove excessive lubricant from the vaginal insert on the Catherine mannequin:
1. Place a damp non-abrasive cloth placed over the tip of the endovaginal probe.
2. Insert the probe with the cloth over it into the vaginal insert.
NOTE: Do not use excessive force or push the probe too far to avoid damaging the insert.
Storage
Prior to storing the simulator, clean the mannequin and inspect for damage or puncture marks. If
damage is found, contact CAE Healthcare Customer Service immediately for repair.
IMPORTANT: Any damage to the mannequin’s skin should be reported to CAE Healthcare immediately.
Prompt repair will prevent expansion of the damaged area.
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to open or repair any simulator components. Doing so may void the
warranty.
Store the mannequin indoors, away from direct sunlight. The mannequin should be stored on its back
on a flat, level surface. CAE Healthcare recommends purchasing a carrying case for storing the
mannequin. The temperature in the storage room should stay between 5°C and 35°C (41°F-95°F).
IMPORTANT: Ensure no objects are left on or near the mannequin when storing the simulator, as they
may damage the surface of the mannequin.
The probe, computer, monitor, mouse and keyboard should be stored in a dry room and protected
from dust.
