from Customer Service.
• Clean the manikin with water and a light soap solution only. Do not use chemical solvents.
Do not immerse the manikin in liquid or use abundant liquid to wash the manikin. For
more information, see the Care and Maintenance section.
• Do not place foreign substances into the airway, with the exception of small amounts of
approved lubricant. Only perform invasive procedures supported by the Product as
described in the applicable sections of the User Guide.
• Do not insert any materials into the manikin except the equipment or probes supplied.
• Do not lift the manikin by its limbs. Support the head and lift it from the torso. If necessary,
have another person help you lift and move the manikin using a patient transfer device
such as a patient transfer board, when available.
• Keep the manikin plugged in between training sessions due to a slow drain of the battery
that occurs.
• Under normal circumstances, unplugging the external DC power used for powering and
charging the manikin is not necessary because the charging stops when the battery is full.
A topping charge is only applied when the battery voltage drops to a certain level.
• Do not spill fluids over the manikin’s chest, abdomen, or inside the manikin’s torso. This
could damage the system and may also present a possible hazard for the operator.
Special attention should be taken while using the the various fluid features.
• Do not use the manikin or equipment in locations where children are likely to be present.
Latex
The IV cannulation tubing in the left IV arm contains latex. The user may come into contact when
changing out the IV tubing during routine maintenance. Users with latex sensitivity should use
caution.

Cautions and Warnings
Fluids System
For manikins such as Aria that are equipped with fluid systems:
• Do not use theatrical blood in the bleeding system.
• Only use small amounts of food coloring for urine or blood and flush the system when
training is complete.
• Do not modify the reservoirs or any assembly component.
• Always protect your eyes, skin, and clothing against accidental exposure.
Skin
• Avoid contact with sharp surfaces and excessive pulling on skin.
Simulator Batteries
• Manikins and tablets use lithium batteries that all have special handling requirements to
avoid hazardous situations.
• Batteries can be charged while the manikin is between 35°F (4°C) and 95°F (35°C) .
• Do not store, use or charge the battery inside of an automobile as temperatures can
exceed 176˚F (80˚C).
Battery Replacement
• If the simulator battery power diminishes significantly or needs to be replaced, contact
Customer Service to replace the battery.
• Before disposing of a simulator battery, apply vinyl tape to its positive (+) and negative (-)
terminals to avoid short circuits.
• Dispose of or recycle batteries responsibly.
Battery Safety Information
For information about battery specifications, see the Specifications section of this user guide.
Important: Refer to the battery manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for complete safety
instructions and handling information.
Precautions for Handling
Hazards are associated with the contents of the cell or battery. Under recommended use conditions,
the electrode materials and liquid electrolyte are non-reactive, as long as the cell or battery integrity
remains, and the seals remain intact.

Cautions and Warnings
4 ©2021 CAE 905K690052 v1.0
CAEAria
Potential exposure should not exist unless the cell or battery:
• leaks,
• is exposed to high temperatures,
• is mechanically, electrically or physically abused/damaged.
If the cell or battery is compromised and starts to leak, based upon the battery ingredients, the
contents are classified as hazardous. In general, if liquid leaks from the battery or foul odor is
detected, DO NOT use the battery and keep it away from heat or flame.
• Avoid short circuiting the battery. Do not store with coins, screws or other similar objects.
• Do not immerse in water.
• Do not disassemble or deform the battery.
• Do not expose to, or dispose of the battery in fire.
• Avoid excessive physical shock or vibration.
• Keep out of the reach of children.
• For rechargeable batteries, the battery must be charged in an approved charger.
• Never use a modified or damaged charger.
• Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.
• Never use a battery that has been damaged or deformed.
• Do not short-circuit the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals.
• Do not place the battery in a device with the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals in the
wrong positions.
• Do not solder a battery directly.

Cautions and Warnings
Potential Health Effects
• Acute (short term): In the event that the cell or pack ruptures, the electrolyte solution
contained within the cell will corrode and can cause burns to skin and eyes.
• Inhalation: Inhaling materials from a sealed cell is not an expected route of exposure.
Vapors or mists from a ruptured cell can cause respiratory irritation.
• Ingestion: Swallowing materials from a sealed cell is not an expected route of exposure.
Swallowing the contents of an open cell can cause serious chemical burns to mouth,
esophagus, and gastrointestinal tract.
• Skin: Contact between the cell and skin will not cause any harm. Skin contact with the
contents of an open cell can cause severe irritation or burns to the skin.
• Eye: Contact between the cell and the eye will not cause any harm. Eye contact with the
contents of an open cell can cause severe irritation or burns to the eye.
• Interactions with other chemicals: Immersion in high conductivity liquids can corrode
or breach the cell or battery enclosure. The electrolyte solution inside of the cells can react
with alkaline (basic) materials and present a flammability hazard.
Safety Measures
Review the precautions for handling before replacing a battery utilizing guidance from CAE.
Should exposure to hazardous battery components occur, or in the event of a fire, follow all local first
aid measures and safety protocols.
Transport Information
CAE complies with the most current International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods
Regulations when transporting and shipping Li-ion batteries. The following terms are defined as
follows:
Consignment - Equivalent to the term "shipment,” meaning one or more packages of
hazardous materials accepted from one shipper at one time and at one address, receipted
in one lot, and moving to one consignee at one destination address.
Equipment - The device or apparatus for which the lithium cells or batteries will provide
electrical power for its operation.
It is the shipper’s responsibility to ensure that the consignment is packed in compliance to the latest
edition of the applicable regulations. Regulations require appropriate training for shipping dangerous
goods. Shipping regulations and requirements may vary depending upon:
• Wattage of the battery.
• Whether the battery is shipped independent of, contained within, or packed with the
equipment.
