Maintenance
Simple care and maintenance help to ensure that Aria 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
Aria 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, contact CAE Customer Service.
Storage
Important: Do not attempt to open or repair any simulator components. Doing so may void the
warranty. If damage exists, contact CAE Customer Service immediately for a repair. Prompt repair
prevents expansion of the damaged area.
