Step 4: Power Off the Manikin
To power off the manikin, carefully pull back the skin on Apollo’s left hip and hold the power button
for two seconds.
The light on the button will blink, indicating shutdown is in progress. Allow up to 30 seconds for
complete shutdown. The light will turn off when shutdown is complete.
Note: If the simulator fails to shut down when these steps are performed correctly, press and hold
the power button for five seconds to force the system to shut down.
Maintenance
Simple care and maintenance help to ensure that Apollo stays in good working condition. Many
problems are caused by inadequate or improper maintenance. Perform a thorough check of the
various components each time the simulator is used. Failure to follow these guidelines can lead to
damage not covered by warranty.
Airway Inspection
Apollo is equipped with an anatomically accurate airway that supports the practice of difficult airway
management techniques. In the process of performing these techniques improperly or aggressively,
the upper airway can be damaged.
Because damage can occur, occasional visual inspection of the airway is recommended. Using the
light of a laryngoscope blade or a flashlight, visually examine the airway. While tears in the upper
airway resulting from intubation may be obvious, needle holes in the lower trachea resulting from
techniques such as transtracheal jet ventilation may not be readily apparent.
If damage to the airway is found, small cuts or tears may be reparable with silicone adhesive.
However, for permanent repair of damaged simulators, contact CAE Customer Service.
Replacing the Battery
After approximately four hours of use, the simulator’s battery must be removed to be recharged or
replaced with a charged battery.
WARNING: When handling Apollo’s batteries, be sure to adhere to all the cautions and warnings.
To replace the battery:
1. Unzip the chest skin.
2. Lift the abdominal insert.
