General Simulator Care
Follow these general simulator care guidelines to protect and care for the simulator:
• Avoid the use of writing instruments and sharp objects near the patient simulator to
prevent unattractive markings on or tears in the skin
• Lubricate airway adjuncts and urinary catheters with cottonseed oil spray (and NOT a
water-based lubricant) prior to insertion
• A mild detergent and warm water will remove most marks and stains. Gently rub the
soiled area with a soft cloth. Do NOT use ABRASIVE soaps or pads.
• Prior to using moulage of any kind, CAE suggests the application of a very light coating of
petroleum jelly, followed by a light dusting of baby powder to the simulator’s skin. This
application makes cleaning the skin easier.
• If any of the genitourinary or IV features on the manikin have been used, drain and clean
the simulator as described in the following pages. Failure to drain and clean the systems
may cause problems with the system.
Store the Simulator
When in regular use, the simulator breakdown procedure and general cleanup are sufficient to
prepare the simulator for storage.
In addition, be certain to follow these instructions:
• Storage temperature should not exceed 122
o
F (50
o
C) or fall below 39
o
F (4
o
C)
• If a soft-sided simulator case is being used, the simulator should lay flat on its back
• The simulator should NEVER be stored or shipped with fluids in the system
Care for Electronic Equipment
• Do NOT use any of the computer components associated with this system for any other
use
• Do NOT connect the computer components to any network of any kind
• Install any CAE software updates as soon as they become available
