Simulation Setup
Essential 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 fluid reservoirs.
Note: Make sure the manikin power is on.
Fill Manikin 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 manikin.
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 manikin 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 Manikin 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 manikin.
3 Push the fill button on the panel. The button will light and fluid will flow into the manikin.
4 Charge the system for 60 seconds before starting simulation.
Warning: Connecting a full fluid fill unit to a manikin 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.
Cleaning the Fluid system
After using the fluid system, the system must be cleaned to prevent residue from clogging the valves and tubes.
1 Ensure the manikin power is on.
2 Ensure the manikin’s internal reservoirs are drained. See procedure for emptying..
3 Fill a bottle with a 60% isopropanol solution.
4 Connect the bottle containing the alcohol solution to the fluids fill connector and air connector to fill the manikin with cleaning solution.
CLEANING THE FLUID SYSTEM
1 Insert a foley catether to activate the fluid system
2 Allow the Fluid system to flush with the cleaning solution until the internal reservoir is empty.
3 When finished remove the foley catether.
