Fluid System.
Blood System
To clean the Blood System follow these steps:
Empty the system for water
1 Ensure that the simulator’s power is ON.
2 Ensure that the simulator’s internal blood reservoir is drained.
See: Empty Internal Fluid Reservoir.

Wound kits.
4 Press the fill button located on the fill panel. The LED indicator
on the fill button will light up.
5 Connect an empty fill bottle to the blood and air connector in
the fill panel, and the filling of air into the internal reservoir will
start.
6 With the fill button activated; open the Circulation and Fluids
tab in LLEAP. Check the boxes for Upper and Lower port, then
select Venous from the adjacent drop-down menus. Move the
sliders to the right to get maximum bleeding rates.
7 Wait until there is no more blood emitted from the simulator,
then uncheck all boxes.
8 Disconnect the empty fill bottle.
Flush the system with isopropanol
9 Connect a fill bottle with Isopropanol 60%-70% to the blood
and air connector in fill panel and the filling of isopropanol into
the internal reservoir will start.
10 From LLEAP, again check the boxes for Upper and Lower port
(making sure Venous bleeding and maximum blood rates are still
selected)
11 Allow the blood system to flush until clear fluid runs out of all
outlets.
12 When finished, press fill button to deactivate the filling
procedure. The LED-indicator on the fill button will be off.

the left. Disconnect the fill bottle.
Empty the system of isopropanol
15 Connect an empty fill bottle to the fill panel and repeat the steps
4-6 above to flush the isopropanol out of the Blood System,
using air.
16 Wait until there is no more fluid emitted from the simulator,
then press the fill button once again so that filling is disabled
(LED indicator should be off).
17 In the LLEAP Software uncheck all boxes and move the sliders
all the way to the left. Disconnect the fill bottle and wounds.
Note: Never store the simulator with isopropanol or liquid in the
Fluid System.
Regular Cleaning of IV Arm
Regular cleaning of the IV Arm system is recommended as part of
proper care of the product. Once or twice a month, the IV Arm
system should be cleaned thoroughly.
Note: Do not use force if the IV Fluid System seems blocked; it is
likely that the simulator is not turned on.
1 Ensure that the simulator’s power is ON, and that the IV Arm is
properly connected, see Attaching the Right Arm.
2 Connect a syringe filled with Isopropanol 60%-70% to the IV
Catheter. Press the prime switch, and flush the IV Arm system
with Isopropanol. Release the prime switch when done.
3 Connect a syringe filled with air to the IV Catheter. Press the
prime switch, and flush the IV Arm system until only air exits the
drain tube. Release the prime switch when done.
Note: Never store the simulator with Isopropanol or liquid in the
IV Arm system.
