MAINTENANCE
Daily Maintenance
The following preventive measures are required to ensure longevity
of the Patient Simulator.
IV Arm
After each session where the IV Arm has been used, flush the IV
Arm with warm water.
Fluid System
After each session where the fluid system has been used, drain the
internal fluid reservoir. See Empty Internal Fluid Reservoir section.
Blood System
When the day’s sessions are done, flush the blood system with
distilled or de-ionized water, with the wounds connected. This is to
remove remains of Laerdal blood in the blood system, and prevent
clogging of valves and tubing.
Power off the Patient Simulator and PCs
Charge batteries if necessary.
Clean the Skin
Wipe the skin with a moist cloth to remove stains. Remove wet
clothes or linens. Glue residue from the wound module tapes may
be removed with Manikin Wipes.
General Clean-up
− Return Patient Simulator and PCs to original state
Single Use Modules
Based on the use of the Patient Simulator, replace modules that are
spent or damaged:
− Cricothyrotomy: Crico-tape and neck-skin
− Chest drain module pleura
Multiple-use Modules
− Fluid filter
− IV catheter filter
− IV catheter
− Pneumothorax Bladders
− IO-modules (tibia and sternum)
− Chest Rise Bladders
− Lung Bladders
− Patient Simulator skins (body, legs, arms)
Before Storage or Shipping
IV Arm
Flush the IV Arm with warm water and let fully dry before storing.
Fluid and Blood System
Before storage, the simulator’s Fluid and Blood Systems should be
flushed with Isopropanol 60%-70%, and then left to dry to remove
any Isopropanol residue from the system.
See Regular Cleaning of Fluid and Blood System section
Note: Do not store or ship the simulator with Isopropanol or liquid
in any of the fluid/liquid systems.
Detach the Patient Simulator’s legs from the torso and pack into the
transport cases as illustrated in Transporting SimMan 3G Trauma
Regular Cleaning of Fluid and
Blood System
Regular cleaning of the Fluid and Blood System is recommended as
part of proper care of the product. Once or twice a month, the Fluid
and Blood System should be cleaned thoroughly.
Note: For additional maintenance information related to the Fluid
and Blood System, see Daily Maintenance section.
Note: During the cleaning procedure – Tank empty warning - may
occur in LLEAP Software. This message can be disregarded during
the cleaning procedure.
Fluid System
To clean the Fluid System follow these steps:
Empty the system of water
1 Ensure that the simulator’s power is ON.
2 2 Ensure that the simulator’s internal fluid reservoir is drained.
See Empty Internal Fluid Reservoir section.
3 Press the fill button located on the fill panel. The LED indicator
on the fill button will light up.
4 Connect an empty fill bottle to the fluid and air connector in the
fill panel, and the filling of air into the internal reservoir will start.
5 We recommend covering the simulator’s head with a towel, as
pumping air through the system might cause some squirting.
6 With the fill button activated; from the LLEAP software open the
Circulation and fluids tab and check the boxes for Sweat, Ears,
Eyes, Nose, Mouth and Urine (polyuria).
7 Wait until there are no more fluids emitted from the simulator,
then uncheck all boxes.
8 Disconnect the empty fill bottle.
