2. Using the proper clinical technique, insert the suction catheter until
resistance is encountered at the bifurcation.
3. Withdraw and apply suction. Fluid can be suctioned over a distance of
approximately 4 cm distal to the bifurcation. Use only distilled water with
food coloring, if desired.
Note: Cleanup is very important when using simulated fluids. For more information on cleaning the
manikin fluid system, see the Care and Maintenance of this user guide.
