Inserting a Urinary Catheter
Once the GU system has been primed, catheterize the simulator using a standard 16 Fr urinary
catheter lubricated with cottonseed oil spray.
When the catheter is inserted, simulated urine begins to flow until the internal bladder is empty.
Note: The urinary catheter needs to be inserted approximately 4 1/2” to achieve urine flow.
Priming the IV System
To prime the IV system:
1. Ensure the IV system is empty prior to filling; connect the 140 mL syringe to the IV drain
port and withdraw fluid and/or air until a vacuum is formed
2. Fill a 50 mL syringe with distilled water (and clinically appropriate food coloring if desired
for added realism)
3. Connect the filled syringe and priming tube to the IV FILL port on the left side of the
simulator’s torso
