Cautions and warnings
- There are electronic components mounted inside the manikin’s
airway management head. The following techniques should not
be performed on this manikin due to the inability to properly
sanitize the airway if they are performed:
1. Mouth-to-mouth/Mouth-to-mask ventilation
2. Insertion of simulated vomit for suctioning
- Lubricate the oral and nasal airways liberally with the lubricant
provided prior to inserting any instrument or tube into the airway.
Additionally, instruments and tubes should also be lubricated prior
to use.
- Do not allow the manikin's skin to come in direct contact with ink
or photocopied paper, as this can permanently stain the skin.
Avoid using colored plastic gloves when handling the manikin, as
they may also cause discoloration.
- Care should be taken when palpating the pulses to not use exces-
sive force as this will result in no pulse being felt.
- If a training session involves the administration of fluids and/or
drugs into the IV arm, empty the arm immediately following the
training session.
Defibrillation
- 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 overheat-
ing.
- 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.
- Defibrillation must be performed over the two defibrillation con-
nectors only.
