Care and Cleaning
General Care
• If a training session involves the use of fluids in the pre-ported IV and IO sites, drain
the fluid immediately after the training session.
• To ensure longevity, each simulator should be cleaned after each training session and
a general inspection should be conducted regularly.
• To maintain simulator skins, wash hands before use and place the simulator on a
clean surface.
• Use gloves during simulation scenarios. Avoid using colored plastic gloves, as they
may cause discoloration of the simulator skin.
Skin
• Use a lint free cloth to remove dirt and dust.
• Clean skin with mild soap and water. Do not submerge.
Moulage
Only use water based moulage makeup products on the skin. Clean skin with mild soap
and water. Do not submerge.
Notes
These can discolor the manikin:
• Pigments from lipstick and pens
• Latex gloves
• Using clothes other than what is originally provided with the simulator.
