SimPad Connections
1 . Connect ALS Simulator to Link Box (Photo 2), via cable located on lower right
side of manikin .
2. Connect the clear tubing exiting the manikin’s right side.
3. Attach blood pressure cuff to manikin’s left arm.
4 . Attach clear pneumatic tubing from blood pressure cuff (Photo 3) to
corresponding clear pneumatic tubing exiting the manikins left shoulder .
Getting Started
Cricothyroid Membrane/ Neck Skin Collar:
1 . Cut a two (2) inch strip of Cricothyroid Membrane Tape .
2 . Adhere tape to edges of cricoid opening, covering opening with tape, to create
actual membrane . (Figure 2)
3 . Lay a Neck Skin Collar into molded track around neck area of manikin .
4 . Attach collar using Velcro
® strips .
Laerdal Recommends
A tight seal will enhance actual feel and sound of penetrating cricothyroid
membrane, and facilitate full rise and fall of the chest during bag valve mask
ventilation .
Pupil Replacement
ALS Simulator is delivered with a set of pupils containing normal pupils mounted
in the head . A separate case contains 3 sets of plastic pupil inserts (normal,
constricted and dilated pupils) for use in simulating other conditions .
To change the pupils in the airway head:
1 . Open the eyelids wide, take care not to rip the faceskin .
2. Using the suction cup provided or the edge of your fingernail, remove the pupil
from the eye .
3 . Replace with the pupil of choice, using the small suction cup tool provided or
press into place with finger.
Filling the Thigh Air Tank
1 . Attach the provided air pump to the Schrader valve located laterally on the
posterior of the right thigh . (Photo 4)
2. Fill the air container using the air pump to120 psi. Note: An over pressure
release valve is included inside the thigh and will be activated at pressure above
10 Bar (150 psi). This valve has a built in reset mechanism.
3 . Detach air pump from the Schrader valve .
NOTE: Most products designed for automobile/ bike tire inflation will be
sufficient to fill the thigh tank. I.e. electric pumps, air compressors, air tanks,
etc . Pressure limitations vary with each unit and should be considered prior to
purchase .
