Air/CO2 Panel
The Air/CO2 panel is located on the left side of the torso. To access
the panel, lift up the manikin skin flap and remove the protective
covering. Connect external Air / CO

Supply
An internal compressor is located in the right leg of the manikin. It is
recommended to use an external source of compressed air whenever
the manikin is stationary over extended periods of use.
If the manikin is required to exhale CO
2
, with each ventilation, connect
external CO
2
. Connect CO
2
only if the manikin is required to exhale
CO
2
with each ventilation. Exhaled CO
2
can be detected with a
real capnographic device. The manikin will only exhale CO
2
when a
capnograph is registered as being connected to the system.
1 Connect a suitable CO
2
source to a Laerdal external compressor
or regulator panel.
2 Connect a Laerdal double-lumen Air/CO
2
tube from the external
compressor or regulator panel to the Air/CO
2
inlet on the panel.
For more information on external compressors and regulator panels
compatible with SimMan 3G, contact your local Laerdal representative.
Blood and Fluid System
The manikin has two internal reservoirs, one for blood and one for
fluids/secretions.
SimMan 3G is also supplied with two fill units - one
Blood Fill Unit for blood and one Fluid Fill Unit for fluids /secretions.
SIMMAN RIGHT LEG FILL PANEL
The right leg fill panel is located at the top of the right leg near the
pelvis. The fill panel contains connectors for filling the blood and fluid
reservoirs.
Note: Make sure the manikin power is on.
Fill Manikin Fluid Reservoir
1 Roll the right leg skin down to expose the fill panel.
2 Connect fluid fill unit tubes to the fluid and air connectors
in the right leg panel.
3 Push the fill button on the panel. The button will light up and
fluid will flow into the manikin.
4 When the flow stops, disconnect the fill unit.
5 Push the fill button on the panel. The light will go out.
Note: Disconnect tubes from the manikin before pushing the fill
button. Pushing the button before disconnecting the tubes will
initiate draining of the tank.
Empty Internal Fluid Reservoir
1 Connect an empty fluid fill unit to fluid and air connectors
in the right leg panel.
2 Fluid from the internal reservoir will drain into the bottle.
3 When the flow stops, disconnect the fluid and air connectors.
Run Manikin with External Fluid
1 Drain the internal reservoir. Follow instructions for “Empty
Internal Fluid Reservoir”.
2 After draining the internal reservoir, fill the fluid fill unit and
connect to the manikin.
3 Push the fill button on the panel. The button will light and fluid
will flow into the manikin.
4 Charge the system for 60 seconds before starting simulation.
