f. Attach the blue CO
2
hose to the connection on the regulator.
g. Carefully reposition the abdominal insert and pull the skin back over the
simulator to its original location.
Once the canister and regulator assembly are in place, CO
2
is measurable with a
disposable ETCO
2
detector during positive pressure ventilation.
Based on the training environment, a CO
2
canister may last from 10 minutes (rapid
ventilation) to 25 minutes.
Use of CO
2
Canisters
• Store the CO
2
canisters in a dry location between 32° and 104° F. (0° to 40°C).
• Do not expose the CO
2
canister to heat above 140° F, as rupture may occur.
• Never point the CO
2
canister toward your face or someone nearby.
• Use only CAE specified CO
2
canisters.
• Do not remove the canister from the regulator base until empty. The canister end is
punctured when screwed into the regulator base.
• Never ship the CO
2
canister attached to the regulator assembly.
Assembly of the CO
2
Regulator
• Care must always be taken when using high-pressure equipment.
• Do not disassemble or alter the regulator.
• Dry completely if the regulator becomes wet.
• Discontinue use of this equipment if leakage or visible damage is evident.
Optional Step: Detach the Arms
Apollo’s arms may be removed for use with trauma scenarios.
To detach Apollo’s arms:
a. Unscrew and remove the locking pin at the elbow.
b. Carefully separate the lower arm from the upper arm.
c. Twist to disconnect the four tubing connectors (white).
d. Squeeze to disconnect the three, black electrical connectors.
e. Place the loose connectors carefully within the upper arm.
Note: When replacing arms, ensure tubing and electrical connectors are matched using
the color-coding.
