Maintenance After Use
The maintenance tasks listed below should be performed after
the training session.
For other service needs, contact your local Laerdal Technical
Service Center.
Tucking in the neck skin
If the manikin’s neck has been extended, the neck skin’s lower
edge may need to be tucked in under the body framework’s
collarline.
To extend the cleanliness of your manikin, Use a small towel
and lightly dust the manikin head and chest with a small
amount of powder (provided). Wipe away any excess.
Apply baby powder beneath the body skin at the neck, shoulder
and hip joints to prevent sticking.
Emptying the abdominal reservoir for fluids
Remove the umbilical cord, rinse and wipe it clean, and let it
dry. Suction fluids from the reservoir overflow connection. Add
clear or soapy water and suction until the reservoir is clean.
Emptying leg for fluid
If fluid is present in the legs, open the plug behind the knee and
remove fluid with a syringe.
Periodic Maintenance
Changing Lower Leg Mandrels and Skins
After multiple uses with IO needle injections to the lower legs,
the lower leg mandrels and and skins should be replaced if fluid
leakage is prominent during use.
1. Pull the leg skin carefully off the leg.
2. Unscrew and remove the knee bolt holding the lower leg.
3. Exchange the lower leg with a new one of the same type
(right/left foot).
4. Reinsert the knee bolt and tighten carefully.
5. Apply Baby Powder to the inside surfaces of the leg skin.
