Administering an Epidural
Fluid can be administered to the mannequin through a permanent epidural port located at the back of
the mannequin.
The Epidural Port
An epidural cannula can be inserted through the luer access split septum attached to the epidural port
located on the back of the maternal mannequin.
Prior to administering an epidural, the epidural system must be empty. To empty the epidural system,
remove the split septum fitting from the epidural port located on the back of the maternal mannequin.
The Epidural Port
Connect a syringe to the luer fitting. Withdraw the syringe until no air or water is present.
IMPORTANT: Use only clear distilled water, distilled water tinted with food coloring, or distilled water
mixed with white vinegar (50/50) inside the mannequin. Administration of any other type of fluid is
NOT supported and may damage the system.
The epidural system must be primed prior to use if cerebrospinal fluid aspiration is desired. The
epidural reservoir holds a maximum of 60 mL of fluid. This reservoir is not pressurized and if it is not
filled completely, air may be aspirated back with fluid.
Once the epidural port is primed, fluid can be aspirated from the epidural port.
IMPORTANT: Clean the epidural system before storing the mannequin.
For detailed instructions on cleaning the epidural system, please see Cleaning the Epidural System in the
Care and Maintenance section.
