Care and Maintenance
b. Connect the beige-colored “fill” connector from the Trauma Fill Tank to the hip, but do
not connect the white “vent” connection.
c. Open the yellow Pressure Relief knob clockwise on the Trauma Fill Tank or loosen its Fill

wastewater bucket.
e. From the Maestro home screen, click the gear icon in the top right of the screen.
f. Select System from the drop-down list.
g. From the Maintenance screen, click Flush System. The fluid begins to drain.

simulator.
j. When fluid stops flowing from the lower wound umbilical, detach from the simulator.
k. When fluid stops flowing from the upper wound umbilical, detach from the simulator.
l. Click Done on the Maintenance screen. The fluids are now drained.

Note: It takes two to three minutes for this final flush.
Once a month, it is advised to flush the system with a mix of 50% distilled water and 50% white
vinegar to keep mineral and algae buildup to a minimum. Always perform the steps for Flushing the
Simulator afterward to remove vinegar.
Cleaning the Trauma Fill Tank
To prolong the life of the Trauma Fill Tank assembly and the fluid reservoirs, wash and flush the tank
and connections after each use with clean distilled water.
Note: A small bucket is recommended to collect wastewater during cleaning and flushing operations.
Do NOT store liquids in the Trauma Fill Tank. If simulated blood mixtures are stored in the tank, they
may clog the system when they dry and possibly damage the seals, filter and other components.
a. Remove and rinse the Overflow Bottle.
b. Remove and rinse the Pump Assembly.
c. Rinse the tank to remove all traces of the simulated blood.
d. Pour 480 ml (16 oz) of distilled water into the tank and reinstall the Pump Assembly. The
Overflow Bottle holds 16 ounces.
