Latex
The leg replacement pads contain latex. Users who suffer from
latex allergy should take precautions while using or handling the latex
parts by wearing non-latex protective gloves.
ECG connectors
The ECG connectors on the chest skin are intended for
monitoring only! The Laerdal ALS Baby Trainer must not be
defibrillated. Doing so may be potentially hazardous to the
operator and may also damage the ECG simulator.
Material compatibility
Do not allow the manikin's skin to come in direct contact with
ink or photocopied paper, as this can cause permanent stains on
the skin.
Using protective gloves when handling the manikin will also
reduce the risk of staining the intraosseous replacement pads.
However, avoid coloured vinyl or latex gloves as these may cause
discolouration of the manikin's skin.
The face skin, chest skin, airway, arms and legs must not be stored
together with parts made in soft PVC, such as the chest skin
from the "old" ALS Baby etc, as this can damage the material
used for the new parts.
Upper airways
Always make sure that the airway and tube have been properly
lubricated before practising intubation on the manikin.
This is important both to provide the proper realism and to
reduce the risk of damaging the manikin's upper airways.
