Filling and Refilling with Urine
Ensure that the urine system is completely drained before filling
or refilling. To do this, insert a catheter and allow the system to
drain, then follow these instructions
1 Using a syringe with a Luer, inject no more than
100ml of urine into the urine connector that is
located on the fluid panel. Do not overfill.
2 Remove syringe. The system is ready for use.
We recommend the use of the following catheter sizes:
• 14Fr Bard Bardex silicone catheter
• 16Fr Bard Bardex silicone catheter
Always use a water based lubricant liberally when inserting a urine catheter.
Cleaning
The system should be cleaned regularly and always stored empty.
Cleaning after the day’s training sessions.
If you intend to use the system tomorrow then simply flush through with clean water using a syringe and drain the system. If you use
plain water as a urine simulant then it is only necessary to drain the system. To flush and drain the system, follow these instructions.
Urine
Ensure that the urine catheterization system is
operational and connected inside of the manikin and that the cap
on the tank is secure.
1 Using a syringe with a Luer, inject no more than 100ml of
plain water into the urine connector. Do not overfill.
2 Insert a catheter and allow the system to
drain, then remove the catheter
