e) Release the Uterus Strap by opening the
press-stud band. The skin is now loose and
can be removed from the Skeleton.
Note: When reassembling, make sure the urethra
is positioned well into the small opening of the
Uterus Strap before closing the Uterus Strap
around the skeleton. When correctly positioned,
the urethra should be visible for the Learner from
the outside.
Transport
MamaNatalie can be transported ready for simulation.
When transporting a water filled NeoNatalie, use the storage pouch included in the NeoNatalie kit.
Alternatively transport NeoNatalie inside the Uterus of MamaNatalie.
Troubleshooting
Artificial blood flows when it should not
- Check that the Blood Valve is in the closed position.
- Check all components for leakage.
- If the Blood Tube seems to be blocked:
a) Fill the Penguin with water and try to flush the water through the tube from the blood outlet
inside the uterus.
b) Inspect the tube from the Blood Tank. If the tube is deformed, massage the relevant point
with your fingers until the tube has opened.
Hard to push NeoNatalie’s head out of the vaginal opening
- Check that the Uterus hangs on the hook of the Blood Tank Cap.
- Check the position of the head.
- Check that the Stomach Skin is fixed with the Uterus Strap to the pubic bone.
- Try lubricating NeoNatalie’s head with a few drops of baby oil.
Urine does not work as expected
- Inspect the Urine Bladder for air. If air is present remove air by squeezing the bladder with a
urine catheter inserted into the urethra. Fill the Urine Bladder with water as instructed.
- While the Learner is catheterizing, the Operator can assist the fluid flow by gently pressing
directly onto the Urine Bladder located behind the pubic bone.
