operator does not need to “judge” when enough pressure is applied and manually
discontinue the blood flow. Unless stopped by the instructor, users should continue
treatment until the bleeding is stopped through the use of proper technique, or the unit
bleeds out.
One of the EMITT-ASL’s key features is its realistic bleeding system. This system
simulates a packable hemostatic wound to the left inguinal crease area, and a gunshot
wound femoral hemorrhage. The internal reservoir (bladder) that stores blood is
made from heavy-duty polyurethane and holds approximately two (2) liters of liquid
blood mix.
The pumping system simulates pressurized, pulsed blood flow, and will exhaust the
reservoir supply (bleed-out) in approximately 4-7 minutes (depending on treatment
to occlude or slow blood flow). Once the blood bladder is filled (see Filling/Refilling
EMITT-ASL with Blood), users activate the blood pump from the command screen
and touch controls on the transmitter. This will cause blood to flow in pulsing spurts
from the gunshot wound, and the hemostatic wound at the inguinal crease wound will
quickly fill with blood. The gunshot and inguinal wound bleeding can be set so they
run at the same time, or one at a time.
