Cleaning and Maintenance
To clean the Airway Management
Trainer head, you will need to
remove the head from the manikin.
To do this, first remove the chest
skin, then the chest plate exposing
the lungs. (See figure 3.)
Feed the lungs through the hole
in the upper compression plate,
then lift off the plate. Disconnect
the lungs from the bronchi by
pulling the red caps from the white
connectors. (See figure 4.)
Now that the head has been
disconnected from the airway,
rotate it 180° so that it is facing
backwards. The large tab on the
front of the neck should be aligned
with the keyway in the torso. Tilt
the head upward until it snaps
free. (See figure 5.) Disengage the
smaller rear tabs from the neck
opening and pull the head from
the body. Reverse the above steps
to reattach the head.
Once the head is off the body,
place a cap plug (supplied) on
each end branch of the bronchi
(the esophagus already has one
in place). (See figure 6.) You are
now ready to begin the cleaning
process. Take the trainer to an area
with a sink and open counter space.
Stabilize the head on the counter
face-up (towels work well for this)
with the plugged tubes hanging
over the sink. Carefully pour warm
soapy water (a mild dish soap
works best) into the mouth until
the water level reaches halfway up
the tongue. Now tilt the head back
and bring the neck up 3” off the
countertop. 5
