Priming the Genitourinary System
Prior to catheterizing the simulator, the genitourinary (GU) system must be primed.
To prime the GU system:
1. Fill a syringe with distilled water (and clinically appropriate food coloring if desired)
2. Connect the syringe to the GU filling tool
3. Plug the GU filling tool into the Urinary port (colored yellow) located on the torso baffle
inside the manikin
4. Slowly push in the distilled water until fluid drains into the overflow reservoir on the GU
filling tool (approximately 70 mL +/- 10 mL)
5. Disconnect the GU filling tool from the Urinary port
6. Store the GU filling tool in a secure location
7. Use only the lift straps attached to the abdomen (tucked under skin) to lift and remove
the abdomen from the manikin’s torso
Note: The speaker cable will be connected to the manikin torso and may be removed for
easier access.
