General Simulator Care
Follow the instructions below to maintain optimum performance and
longevity of the Simulator and its components.
General Care
To maintain Simulator skins, wash hands before use and place the
Simulator on a clean surface. Laerdal recommends to:
–
Use gloves during simulation scenarios. Avoid using colored
plastic gloves, as they may cause discoloration of the Simulator
skin.
–
Do not use felt-tipped markers, ink pens, acetone, iodine, or other
staining medications near the Simulator. Take care not to place
the Simulator on newsprint or colored paper. Staining may be
permanent.
–
Clean Simulator skins with mild soap and water.
Do not attempt to perform the following techniques on this Simulator
due to the inability to properly sanitize the airway:
–
Mouth-to-mouth/mouth-to-mask ventilation
–
Insertion of simulated vomit or fluids for suctioning
–
Only use Laerdal Airway Lubricant, and apply sparingly
–
Rinse, clean, and dry Simulator component modules
–
Fold the torso skin back and powder the inside of the torso skin
to decrease friction. Do not spill powder into Simulator chest
cavity.
NOTE:
If a training session involves the use of fluids in the IV arm, drain
the arm immediately following the training session.
Environment
In cold conditions, wait until the Simulator has reached room
temperature before starting up.
To avoid overheating and reduce wear:
–
When using in temperatures above 40°C (104°F), always allow
the Simulator to cool down between training sessions.
–
When using in a bed, Simulator should not be covered with heavy
bedding which prevents heat transfer from the Simulator.
