Cleaning the Blood System
The Blood System should be cleaned thoroughly once or twice
a month.
Note
During the cleaning procedure – Tank empty warning - may occur
in LLEAP Software. This message can be disregarded during the
cleaning procedure.
Empty the Blood System
Ensure a wound is connected to a blood outlet. Refer to
Prepare Wound Kit.
1. Ensure that the Patient Simulator's power is ON.
2. Ensure that the Patient Simulator's internal blood reservoir
is drained. Refer to Emptying Blood System.
3. Press the Activate Filling button and the LED indicator will
turn on.
4. Connect an empty fill bottle to the blood and air
connector; the filling of air into the internal tank will start.
5. Open the Circulation and Fluids tab in LLEAP. Check the
boxes for Upper and Lower port, then select Venous from
the adjacent drop-down menus. Slide the bleeding rate
controls to right to get maximum bleeding rates.
6. Wait until there is no more blood emitted from the
simulator, then uncheck all boxes.
7. Disconnect the fill bottle.
Flush the System with Isopropanol
8. Connect a fill bottle with isopropanol to the blood and
air connector; the filling of isopropanol into the internal
reservoir will start.
9. From LLEAP, again check the boxes for Upper and Lower
port (making sure Venous bleeding and maximum blood
rates are still selected).
10. Allow the blood system to flush until clear fluid runs out
of all outlets.
11. When finished, press Activate Filling to deactivate the filling
procedure. The LED indicator on the Activate Fill will turn
off.
12. Leave the bottle connected for approximately 30 seconds
to let the internal tank drain completely.
13. In LLEAP uncheck all boxes and slide bleeding rate
controls to the left. And then disconnect bottle.
Empty the System of Isopropanol.
14. Connect an empty fill bottle to the fill panel and repeat
the steps 4-6 to flush the isopropanol out of the Blood
System, using air.
15. Wait until there is no more fluid emitted from the Patient
Simulator, then press Activate Filling once again so that
filling is disabled (LED indicator should be turned off).
16. In LLEAP uncheck all boxes and move the sliders all the
way to the left. Disconnect the fill bottle and wounds.
