Foreword
Foreword
This product is a simulator which is designed to imitate an experimental animal (a mouse).
It recreates the feeling of handling a live mouse, and can be used for the following simulated
practice.
Product outline
Product outline
The main body has an extremely fine structure, and is made using materials that make it feel
just like a live mouse. Be sure to observe the following to avoid damage and deterioration.
* Do not pull or twist it firmly.
* Do not touch it with sharp objects such as cutter knives or needles.
* Be sure to follow the procedures given in "Cleaning" (P.3).
Use only the special lubricant which is included as an accessory. Using any other type of
lubricant may cause rapid deterioration of the mouse.
Always wear gloves when handling the mouse to prevent dust or dirt from adhering to the mouse.
(During practice, this will also improve the sensation of carrying out an actual test.)

Note
The mouse can be used for a wide range of other practice activities in addition to those listed above.
If the tail is difficult to remove, it is possible that the inside of the mouse has dried out.
In this case, apply special lubricant through the base of the tail and the mouse's mouth
to improve the slipperiness. (Do not forcibly pull out the tail, otherwise it may damage
the tail mounting hole of the mouse's body.) If the tail still cannot be removed properly,
please return it to Sankyo Labo Service.

Grasp the mouse's body near the
base of the tail with your thumb,
forefinger and middle finger. With your
other hand, gently pull out the tail.
When the cap of the drain capsule
becomes visible, pull back the fingers
which are grasping the mouse's body
to expose the capsule.
Remove the cap from the drain capsule
when removing the liquid inside the capsule.
The area of the mouse's body around
the tail is extremely delicate, so be
very careful when removing the tail.
