Introduction

Anatomy
CAE Blue Phantom training models are constructed using our patented Simulex™ ultrasound tissue which
has imaging characteristics that mimic human tissue. The models contain skeletal components so the user
will encounter the same imaging landmarks as in a human patient.
These training models have a fluid space around the heart. The FAST Exam model also has fluid spaces
around the liver, spleen, and bladder. Tubes that exit through the leg are used to fill the fluid spaces. The
tubes have a female Luer lock connector designed to work with syringes with a male Luer lock connector.
Models are delivered with minimal fluid. Users must infuse additional fluid to prepare the model for use.
More information can be found in the
Using the Training Model section of this guide.
