6 | Introduction
•
When the arm skin and/or veins require replacement, refer to the "Spare Parts
List” section of this guide. For more information regarding the replacement of
veins and other consumable items, please contact customer service.
Operating Conditions
•
Operating the simulator outside these ranges may affect performance:
•
Operating temperature: 50°- 95° F (10°- 35° C).
•
Humidity: 5%-95% (non-condensing).
Storage Conditions
•
Store the simulator in a cool, dry place. Extended storage should be between 32° - 85° F (0°
- 29° Celsius). Other temperatures will cause the simulator to soften and slowly warp
•
Do not store the simulator with a discharged battery. Re-charge the backup battery at the end of
every simulation session. Recharge the battery at least once every 30 days even if the simulator
is not in use, otherwise, permanent loss of capacity might occur because of self-discharge.
•
Do not allow any objects to rest on the face or chest skin of the simulator.
•
Do not store the simulator face down. Pressure points on the face
and chest skin may warp or damage the skin.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the simulator, store and ship it in the clear poly bag provided.
Procedures
•
Do not attempt to intubate without lubricating the airway adjunct with mineral oil lubricant. Failure to
lubricate the device will make intubation very difficult and is likely to result in damage to the simulator.
•
Avoid using surgical tools to cut the neck skin. The precut opening allows the insertion
of most medical devices. Always lubricate the medical adjunct before insertion.
•
Do not introduce flammable gases into the airway.
•
Providers must use an empty syringe when simulating drug administration via endotracheal
tube. Passing liquids into the trachea or esophagus may cause internal damage.
•
Mouth to mouth resuscitation without a barrier device is not recommended, as it will contaminate the airway.
•
Treat the simulator with the same precautions that would be used with a real patient.
•
The lubricants and other accessories provided are for use with the accompanying patient
simulator only. The lubricants and other accessories are not suitable for human use or
medical treatment/diagnosis and should never be used for such purposes.
Cleaning
•
Remove all traces of any lubricant from the simulator.
•
Do not clean it with harsh abrasives.
