use of defibrillators.
Caution
• Do not provide more than 2 x 360J discharges per minute on average to prevent overheating.
• Manikin chest must be kept dry. Ensure manikin remains dry when using IV arm.
• To prevent chest pitting, do not apply conductive gel or conductive defibrillation pads
intended for patient use.

additional lubrication is needed later in the session.
• Use only lubrication provided. Do not use silicon or other lubricant, as this may damage manikin.
Note
Head contains electrical components. Due to inability to sanitize airway, mouth-to-mouth/
mouth-to-mask ventilation should not be performed.

Cleaning

Preventive maintenance is the best method to ensure optimal operation. General inspection
should be conducted at regular intervals.
Periodically wash all skin parts that are not regularly sanitized using warm water and soap or
manikin wipes.
Most stains can be removed with warm water and soap or Laerdal manikin wipes. Before use,
test cleaning agents on a non-critical area (e.g. under the chest cover).
Note
Pigments from lipstick and pens may be impossible to remove. Avoid using coloured plastic
gloves when handling the manikin, as they may cause discolouration.
