General Simulator Care

Follow the instructions below to maintain optimum performance and
longevity of the Simulator and its components.
General Care
To maintain Simulator skins, wash hands before use and place the
Simulator on a clean surface. Laerdal recommends to:
– Use gloves during simulation scenarios. Avoid using colored
plastic gloves, as they may cause discoloration of the Simulator
skin.
– Do not use felt-tipped markers, ink pens, acetone, iodine, or other
staining medications near the Simulator. Take care not to place
the Simulator on newsprint or colored paper. Staining may be
permanent.
– Clean Simulator skins with mild soap and water.
Do not attempt to perform the following techniques on this Simulator
due to the inability to properly sanitize the airway:
– Mouth-to-mouth/mouth-to-mask ventilation
– Insertion of simulated vomit or fluids for suctioning
– If a training session involves the use of fluids in the IV arm, drain
the arm immediately following the training session.
– Only use Laerdal Airway Lubricant, and apply sparingly
– Rinse, clean, and dry Simulator component modules
– Fold the torso skin back and powder the inside of the torso skin to
decrease friction. Do not spill powder into Simulator chest cavity.
Environment
In cold conditions, wait until the Simulator has reached room
temperature before starting up.
To avoid overheating and reduce wear:
– When using in temperatures above 40°C (104°F), always allow
the Simulator to cool down between training sessions.
– When using in a bed, Simulator should not be covered with heavy
bedding which prevents heat transfer from the Simulator.

Defibrillation Hazards
SimJunior allows for defibrillation.
A conventional defibrillator may be used on SimJunior. During
defibrillation, the defibrillator and Simulator may present a shock
hazard. All standard safety precautions must be taken when using a
defibrillator on the Simulator.
• Read and follow all safety and operating instructions provided
• Follow defibrillation protocol by avoiding contact between
• Failure to follow safety measures could result in injury or death.
For more information, consult your defibrillator's original user manual.

Introduce fluids into the Simulator only as directed in this
document
Lubricate the oral and nasal airways with the lubricant provided
prior to inserting any instrument, tube, or airway device. Also
lubricate instruments and tubes prior to use.
Do not introduce humidified air into the system during ventilation
Do not use the Simulator if the internal tubing and cabling is
disconnected
Never use the SimJunior Simulator outdoors in wet conditions, as
this may pose a shock hazard or damage the Simulator.
Using a defibrillator in temperatures over 35° C (95° F) may
cause overheating
Warning: Do not use automated chest compression machines
on the Simulator.
Caution Latex: This product contains Natural Rubber latex,
which may cause allergic reactions when in contact with
humans.
with your defibrillator and associated equipment.
the external paddles and any of the electrode sites while
defibrillating. A load of up to 300 joules can be delivered.
Warnings:
When performing defibrillation, use the defibrillator connectors
or the zap plate mounted on the Simulator's chest. Do not use
the ECG connectors which are designed exclusively for ECG
monitoring. Defibrillation on the ECG connectors will damage
the internal electronics of the Simulator and may cause personal
injury.
Do not defibrillate the Simulator when it is turned OFF or if it is
not functioning normally.
