Supply
An internal compressor is located in the right leg of the Patient
Simulator. It is recommended to use an external source of
compressed air whenever the Patient Simulator is stationary over
extended periods of use.
Connect CO
2
only if the Patient Simulator is required to exhale
CO
2
with each ventilation. Exhaled CO
2
can be detected with a real
capnographic device. The Patient Simulator will only exhale CO
2
when a capnograph is registered as being connected to the system.
1 Connect a suitable CO
2
source to a Laerdal external
compressor or regulator panel.
2 Connect a Laerdal double-lumen Air/CO
2
tube from the
external compressor or regulator panel to the Air/CO
2
inlet on
the panel.
For more information on external compressors and regulator
panels compatible with SimMan 3G Trauma, contact your local
Laerdal representative.
Blood and Fluid System
The Patient Simulator has two internal reservoirs, one for blood and
one for fluids/secretions. SimMan 3G Trauma is also supplied with
two fill units - one Blood Fill Unit for blood and one Fluid Fill Unit for
fluids /secretions.
SimMan 3G Trauma Right Leg Fill Panel
The right leg fill panel is located at the top of the right leg near the
pelvis. The fill panel contains connectors for filling the blood and fluid
reservoirs.
Note: Make sure the Patient Simulator power is on.
Fill Internal Fluid Reservoir
1 Roll the right leg skin down to expose the fill panel.
2 Connect fluid fill unit tubes to the fluid and air connectors
in the right leg panel.
3 Push the fill button on the panel. The button will light up and
fluid will flow into the Patient Simulator.
4 When the flow stops, disconnect the fill unit.
5 Push the fill button on the panel. The light will go out.
Note: Disconnect tubes from the Patient Simulator before pushing
the fill button. Pushing the button before disconnecting the tubes
will initiate draining of the tank.
Empty Internal Fluid Reservoir
1 Connect an empty fluid fill unit to fluid connector in
the right leg panel.
2 Fluid from the internal reservoir will drain into the bottle.
3 When the flow stops, disconnect the fluid connector.
Run Patient Simulator with External Fluid
1 Drain the internal reservoir. Follow instructions for “Empty
Internal Fluid Reservoir”.
2 After draining the internal reservoir, fill the fluid fill unit and
connect to the Patient Simulator.
3 Push the fill button on the panel. The button will light and fluid
will flow into the Patient Simulator.
4 Charge the system for 60 seconds before starting simulation.
Warning: Connecting a full fluid fill unit to a Patient Simulator with a
full internal reservoir will result in system overflow. Fluid will drain
out of the right leg. Repeatedly overflowing the system may
damage the product.
