· 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.
Stoma and Breast Examination Insert Guidelines,
Warnings, and Maintenance
· The stomas and breast inserts are constructed of material that
approximates tissue texture; therefore, use the same gentle techniques
as you would when working with a patient.
· Always handle the stomas and inserts with clean hands.
· Always palpate the breast using the fatty pads of the middle three
fingers.
· Prevent items from resting or pressing against the stomas/breasts as
indentations will form on the pressure points. The stomas/breasts may
return to the normal shape after the pressure is relieved.
· When removing the stomas, gently separate the stoma flange from the
torso, and do not apply force directly to the stoma tissue itself.
· Place talcum powder on the stoma/breast surface to reduce tackiness.
Reapply talcum powder as needed.
· Clean the stomas/breast using a mild solution of soap and water.
· Apply talcum powder to return the surface to a skin-like feel and
appearance.
· Always remove the stomas/breasts during transport.
· Store the breast examination inserts facing down inside the protective
case when not in use.
· Do not palpate the breast using fingernails
· Do not clean the inserts with alcohol or aggressive solvents
· Do not pack any sharp objects with the stomas/breast
· Do not press the stomas/breast against soiled surfaces, ink, or
newsprint. The stoma/breast material is absorbent.
