Care and Cautions
Overall Warnings
Remember that damage caused by misuse
is not covered by your warranty. It is critical
to understand and comply with the following
guidelines:
GENERAL
• This simulator is constructed of material
that approximates skin texture. Therefore,
in handling the model, use the same gentle
techniques as you would in working with a
patient.
• Ball point pens, ink and markers permanently
stain the skin.
• Do not wrap this or any other Gaumard
product in newsprint.
• Do not use alcohol, acetone, Betadine
®
or
any other antiseptic which contains iodine
in this or any Gaumard
®
simulator. These
products could damage or stain the skin of
the simulator.
• Replacement parts are available from
Gaumard Scientiic or your Distributor.
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
• Improper storage may damage the simulator.
• Keep it stored in the box and/or bag provided.
• Do not stack or store heavy materials on top
of the carton.
• Storage temperature: 32°- 113° F (0°- 45° C).
• Humidity: 40%-60% (non-condensing).
IV ARM
• Treat the simulator with the same precautions
that would be used with a real patient. Only
use Gaumard’s provided simulated blood.
Any other simulated blood containing sugar
or any additive may cause blockage and/or
interruption of the vascular system.
• The use of needles larger than 22 gauge will
reduce the lifetime of the lower arms’ skin
and
veins.
• After cleaning and drying the arm, lightly
dust it with talcum powder. This will keep the
training arm supple and easy to use.
WARNING
Vein tubing contains latex which may
cause allergic reactions. Users allergic
or sensitive to latex should avoid
contact. Discontinue use of this product
and seek medical attention if an allergic
reaction occurs.
CLEANING
• Clean the skin of the simulator after every
training session. The skin should be cleaned
with a cloth dampened with diluted liquid
dish washing soap and dry thoroughly.
• Remove all traces of any lubricant.
• Do not clean with harsh abrasives.
• Do not use povidone iodine on the simulator.
• The simulator is “splash-proof” but not
waterproof. Do not submerge or allow water
to enter the interior of the simulator.
