Manikin Preparation Before Use
Inserting fluids into the umbilical reservoir
Use a syringe to insert fluid into the abdominal reservoir. Do
not fill more than 40 ml unless the IV bag is attached to the
overflow tube.
Attaching the umbilical cord
Lubricate the end of the umbilical cord to be inserted with liq-
uid hand soap. Squeeze and press the umbilical cord into the
umbilical opening. The cord should be pressed at least 50mm
(2 inches) into the opening, but need not be pushed further
down.
Note: Ensure that the cord is properly inserted to the min. distance.
Failure to do so will result in a moving umbilicus when pulse is on.
To remove, gently pull on the umbilical cord.
Changing eye pupils
1. Open the eyelids wide, take care not to rip the faceskin.
2. Using the suction cup provided in the kit or the edge of
your fingernail, remove the pupil from the eye.
3. Replace with the pupil of choice, using the small suction cup
provided or press into place with finger.
Inserting the meconium module
1. Insert the module with a finger - do not use force.
Note: Do not add lubricant to the module.
Note: Do not insert the meconium module past uvula.
2. A suction catheter @ 100 mmHg will remove the
meconium module.
3. A tether has been added to ensure removal of the object.
For intubation following the removal of the meconium module,
add lubricant to the ET-tube before intubation.
