Care and Maintenance
Care and Maintenance
With proper care, your training model will remain in optimal condition and ready for use.
Storage and Transport
Follow these guidelines to properly store or transport your model:
• Storage temperature degree range: 45 to 85 °F (7 to 29 °C)
• Store the model in its included storage case.
• Do not store in contact with other models or hard objects as the pressure can damage the
Simulex tissue. Do not stack multiple training models on top of each other.
• Transport the model securely so it does not fall.
Cleaning
To maintain the product skin for the lifespan of the product, clean the exterior of the model after each use.
Follow these steps:
1. Mix one cup of tap water with ¼ teaspoon of mild liquid soap (such as dish soap).
2. Gently clean the model exterior with the soap mixture and a soft, non-abrasive sponge or cloth.
3. Rinse lightly with clean water.
4. Dab or pat with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth to dry the product after cleaning. Do not wipe or rub
the skin, which can damage it.
5. After the model has dried completely, lightly coat the external surface of the model with baby
powder and dust off any excess.
Internal Cleaning
Clean the inside of the model every six months, or anytime you notice a reduced quality of the
echocardiographic image. Follow these steps:
1. Purchase a feminine douche product from a drugstore or your preferred retailer.
2. Follow the product manufacturer’s instructions to prepare the douche for use.
3. With your model in the supine position, insert the cleaning tip into the vaginal opening.
4. Deliver half the cleanser into the model. Reserve the other half for the next cleaning.
5. Carefully tilt the model upright so the contents can drain. You do not need to swab out the
cavity of the model after cleaning, but the model must remain in the upright position to drain
and dry.
6. Use paper towels to remove any remaining gel that empties from the vaginal cavity.
