Water Resistance and Cleanup
DO NOT USE PRESSURIZED WATER OR SUBMERGE EMITT-
ASL UNDER WATER. REMOVE BATTERIES BEFORE CLEAN-
UP TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK!
EMITT-ASL is water resistant, not waterproof. Avoid direct water contact with the
battery compartment. Wash EMITT-ASL carefully after each use with clean water
only. EMITT-ASL can be washed off with a soft wet cloth or sponge; however,
vigorous scrubbing of the legs may affect the skin surface. Simulated blood should
be washed out of clothing as soon as possible preferably within 24 hours to avoid
staining; pre-treatment of stains and vigorous cleaning will usually remove stains
caused by the simulated blood.
Possible Reaction to Synthetic Blood Mix
The chemical components that comprise TraumaFX organic dye blood
mix may cause skin and eye irritation for some users. Avoid ingestion
or inhalation. If eye contact occurs, check for and remove any contact
lenses, immediately flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes; cold
water may be used. Get medical attention if irritation occurs. Should skin contact
occur and the skin becomes irritated, wash with soap and water. Get medical
attention if irritation persists. If blood powder is accidently inhaled, remove victim
to fresh air. If breathing difficulties occur, seek medical attention immediately. If
blood mix is ingested (powder or liquid form), DO NOT induce vomiting unless
directed to do so by a physician. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt, or waistband. Immediately
get medical attention.
System Weight
The EMITT-ASL trainer is designed to replicate the weight and
feel of a live human patient. To prevent injury, use caution and
proper procedures when lifting or carrying the manikin or cases.
Simulated Blood
Only use TraumaFX-provided simulated blood and blood mixes in the
EMITT-ASL
unit.
Use of other liquids or the addition of any substance,
including detergents, to the blood mix may damage internal components
and will void the manufacturer’s limited warranty.
To preserve the life of the simulated blood paste, please store in a dark, cool location.
Radio Control
The Radio Control (RC) system used to operate EMITT-ASL has an
extended range (see technical specifications) and can be used indoors
or outdoors. Note that indoor range is subject to building design and
construction materials. Test system operations whenever setting up in a new location
or moving to a different area of a building.
