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.
· 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.
Cleaning
· The simulator should be cleaned with a cloth dampened with diluted
liquid dish washing soap.
· Remove all traces of any lubricant.
· Do not clean with harsh abrasives.
· Do not use povidone iodine on the simulator.
· Dry thoroughly.
· The simulator is “splash-proof” but not water-proof. Do not submerge
or allow water to enter the interior of the simulator.
IV Arm
· Only use Gaumard’s provided simulated blood. Any other simulated
blood containing sugar or any additive may cause blockage and/or
interruption of the vasculature system.
· The use of needles larger than 22 gauge will reduce the lifetime of the
lower arms’ skin and veins.
· Always purge with clean water and then drain the vein reservoirs at
the end of the simulation session. Doing so will retard the formation of
mold and prevent clogging of the system.
· We recommend flushing veins with 70:30 solution of clean water to
isopropyl alcohol (IPA) at least once per month to prolong the life of
the vasculature.
· When the arm skin and/or veins require replacement, refer to the
“Consumables” section of this guide. For more information regarding
the replacement of veins and other consumable items please contact
customer service.
