7.
Following completion of the procedures, com-
pletely drain the stomach reservoir and allow
drying prior to reattaching and storing inside
the manikin. Wipe any residual lubricant with
warm water and a soft cloth.
INTRAMUSCULAR INJECTIONS
(Available on all
GERi™
/
KERi™
models)
Intramuscular injections may be performed in inserts
at the left hip, right thigh, at both deltoids of the
standard arms, and left deltoid of the injectable train-
ing arm (available with Advanced and Advanced
Auscultation
GERi™
/
KERi™
). Inject AIR ONLY as the
inserts cannot be drained in the standard arms, injec-
tion training arm, and thigh.
To remove the inserts on standard arms and thigh
:
1.
Compress them sideways and pull out.
2.
Reverse procedure to replace.
Avoid using alcohol or similar substances to prep the
injection site. Use distilled water to simulate this
procedure.

INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL STRUCTURE
The outer skin is easily peeled off, revealing the “core”
and veins. The skin and veins can be readily replaced
when needed. Using smaller gauge needles will pro-
long the life of the original skin and veins. Replace-
ment parts are available and listed at the end of this
manual. The internal vascular structure begins at the
shoulder and continues under the arm, crosses the
antecubital fossa forearm, makes a loop in the back
of the hand, and then returns to the underarm. This
venous system is constructed of special, natural dry
rubber, with the lumen being the approximate size of
an adult human vein.
(See Figure 18.)

5.
To remove the stomach, rotate the head back-
ward 180° to align the keyholes in the neck.
6.
Gently pull up head to expose three tubes with
the stomach reservoir bag connected at the
end.
(See Figure 17.)
Note:
The stomach reservoir bag will only come
through the neck opening if less than 250 cc of water
is contained in the stomach.
This vascular structure has inlet and outlet tubing at
the shoulder. It is via these tubes that synthetic blood
is infiltrated, thus allowing practice in techniques of
blood drawing and starting intravenous infusions.
ORAL AND NASAL LAVAGE, GAVAGE,
AND SUCTIONING
(Available with Complete, Advanced, Auscultation,
and Advanced Auscultation
GERi™
/
KERi™
)
Access to the stomach is provided through the
mouth and both nostrils. The internal stomach res-
ervoir bag has a 375 cc capacity. Only water should
be used in tube feeding exercises.
1.
Lubricate feeding tubes generously prior to
inserting through mouth, nose, or nostrils.
2.
Ensure the upper torso of the manikin is slight-
ly elevated to prevent water backflow into the
head of the manikin.
3.
Introduce water only using standard facility
procedures and materials.
4.
Following the procedure, empty the stomach.
Water may be removed by suctioning or remov-
ing the stomach reservoir bag and disconnect-
ing it and draining it into a sink or basin.
Note:
Ensure the manikin’s torso remains elevated
when the stomach reservoir bag contains water to con-
tinue to prevent backflow into the head of the manikin.
