Transport and Storage 2/2
Before Storage or Shipping
• Flush the simulator’s fluid and blood systems with
isopropanol 60%-70%, and then leave to dry to remove
any isopropanol residue from the system. Refer to
Cleaning the Fluid System and Cleaning the Blood System.
• Detach the Patient Simulator’s legs from the torso and
pack into their cases.
Battery Storage and Transport
• Store in a refrigerator i.e. temperature 0°C - 4°C (32°F - 40°F).
• The two simulator batteries can be transported in the
Patient Simulator during air freight. When transporting
spare batteries contact the airline or freight company for
the latest transport regulations.
Warnings
• The suitcases are heavy. Always ensure that they are firmly
secured during transportation and storage so as not to cause
personal injury or damage to the product.
• When unpacking the torso, do not use the leg openings as
lifting points, use the genitalia opening! The slides might come
loose and cause personal injury or product damage.
Cautions
• Do not store this product outside the storage conditions
specified in the Important Product Information.
• Store simulator in a clean, dry area. Storage in a damp area
will cause corrosion of electronic parts.
• Remove stomas prior to storage. Stomas should be stored in a
plastic bag when not in use.
• Do not store the Patient Simulator with fluid.
• Do not store the Patient Simulator with wet injection pads.
• Do not store the Patient Simulator with tape or other
adhesive products attached to the skin.
• Patient Simulator should be stored on its back with adult
cervical collar in place.
• Do not stack Patient Simulators or store with heavy objects
on top.
• The Patient Simulator’s neck should be supported at all times
during transport.
• Do not try to lift the Patient Simulator alone, unless this is
part of a simulation where correct lifting techniques shall be
demonstrated.
• Lifting the Patient Simulator alone may lead to muscle strains.
• Ensure that the Patient Simulator is properly secured during
transportation to prevent personal injury or damage to the
product.
• Always keep the thumb lock pins inserted in the hip joint (leg)
connections. The pins could wrap around internal cables and
tubes, risking damage.
