A Warning identifies conditions, hazards, or unsafe practices that can result in serious personal
injury or death.
Airway
Caution
The use of silicon or any other lubricant not approved by Laerdal may cause damage
to the airway.
Notes
Electronic components are mounted inside the manikin's head. The following
techniques should not be performed on this manikin due to the inability to properly
sanitize the airway if they are performed:
• Mouth-to-mouth/Mouth-to-mask ventilation.
• Insertion of simulated vomit for suctioning.
Pulses
Note
Do not use excessive force when palpating the carotid pulse as this will result in no
pulse felt.
IV-Arm
Note
If training session involves administration of fluids and/or drugs, empty arm immediately
following session. This to avoid damage/stains on manikin while stored.
Defibrillation
Caution
• Defibrillation must be performed over the two defib connectors only. Paddle
adapters are supplied for use with manual defibrillators.
• Only apply the defibrillator to a defibrillation chest skin which is properly mounted
on the manikin's chest.
• Do not provide more than 2 x 360J defibrillator discharges per minute as an
average over a period of time to prevent overheating.
• The manikin chest must be kept dry. Special attention should be taken when using
IV Arm.
• Do not apply conductive gel or conductive defibrillation pads intended for patient
use to prevent chest skin pitting.
• Do not use cables or connectors with visible damage. Observe all normal safety
precautions for use of defibrillators.
