Setup for Simulation
Replacing and Filling the IO Modules with Blood
The IO Pads supplied with SimMan Essential and SimMan Essential Bleeding are disposable parts meant for single use.
REPLACING AND FILLING THE STERNAL IO PAD WITH BLOOD
1 Attach the Sternal IO bag to the Sternal tube and close
off the pinch clamp.
2 Remove the Sternal IO pad from the manikin chest.
3 Remove the Sternal tube from the sternal pad. 4 Fill the sternal IO pad with 7ml of blood. Ensure the pad
is completely filled.
5 Reattach the Sternal tube to the Sternal IO pad. 6 Place the Sternal IO unit in the Sternal Chassis. Slide
the unit down and towards the neck, until it fits securely
under the top edge of the chassis.
The following devices have been tested and are approved for
use with the simulator:
• F.A.S.T 1 ™
• Jamshidi ® Illinois Bone Marrow Aspiration/Intraosseous
Infusion Needle. 18 Ga. 9/16”(14mm) - 1½” (38mm).
Note: In some cases you will not get any blood backflow
when using the F.A.S.T 1 ™
7 Reattach the sternal IO pad
The sternal IO is now ready for simulation.
Note: If bits of plastic from the module get stuck in the needle, flush the needle with fluid to dislodge the obstruction.
