•
The simulator should be cleaned with a cloth dampened with diluted liquid dish washing soap.
•
The simulator is “splash-proof” but not water-proof. Do not submerge
or allow water to enter the interior of the simulator.
•
Dry the simulator thoroughly and apply baby powder to return the simulator's skin to its lifelike feel.
Electrical Therapy
•
Always treat the simulator as a real patient.
•
Defibrillation is only allowed on the
large sternum and apex sites.
•
NEVER
deliver a shock to ECG electrode sites
on the shoulders or waist as indicated in green.
Doing so will result in internal damage to the
simulator. This is considered improper use and
is
NOT
covered by the simulator's warranty.
The system will require repair at our facility.
ECG and Electrical Therapy Warnings
•
Only deliver electrical therapy when the simulator
is fully assembled, dry, and undamaged.
•
Make sure the defibrillation patches on
the simulator are in good condition.
•
It is a good practice to remove gel residues after
every use. Failure to do so will leave behind a film of electrode gel that hardens causing arcing and pitting.
•
To aid removal of ECG gel, sprinkle baby powder on the residual ECG gel
to dry it up and remove it gently with the pad of your finger.
•
Should dark traces appear on the conductive patches due to gel residue or previous
arcing, use a pencil eraser to remove the traces and then clean with alcohol.
•
Do not re-use the gel-adhesive pads. Do not leave them on for next day use.
•
Use hard paddles or wet-gel pads.
•
Avoid using solid-gel pads since they present higher risk of burning the simulator’s skin.
•
Gel pads have a shelf life. Make sure they are not expired to avoid arcing.
•
Make sure the simulator is not in contact with any electrically conductive surfaces.
•
Use the simulator only in a well-ventilated area, free of all flammable gases.
•
NEVER
attempt to service or modify any of the electrical connections, especially
those between conductive skin sites and the internal electronics.
•
Discontinue use if any wires are found exposed with damaged insulation.
•
Medical products, such as electrodes, may use powerful adhesives that can be
difficult to remove. A gentle, degreasing cleanser may be needed.
