Introduction

The Advanced Life Support Simulator is a realistic interactive training manikin for
simulating a wide range of advanced life saving skills in pre-hospital emergencies .
The simulator responds to clinical intervention, instructor control, and
comprehensive pre-programmed scenarios for effective practice of diagnosis
and treatment of a patient . With spontaneous breathing, airway control, voice,
sounds, ECG, and many other clinical features, the Advanced Life Support
Simulator is the fully functional pre-hospital simulator .
The manufacturing quality of this manikin should provide many sessions of
training when reasonable care and maintenance are practiced .

reactions when in contact with humans .
• There are electronic components mounted inside the airway head. The
following techniques should not be performed on this manikin due to the
inability to properly sanitize the airway if they are performed:
The product, when carrying the CE-mark, is in
• Mouth-to-mouth/Mouth-to-mask ventilation
compliance with essential CE requirements and other
• Insertion of simulated vomit for suctioning
relevant provisions of council directive 1999/5/EC.
• Lubricate the oral and nasal airways liberally with the lubricant provided prior
to inserting any instrument, tube or airway device into the airway . Additionally,
instruments and tubes should also be lubricated prior to use .
• Do not allow the manikin' s skin to come in direct contact with ink or
photocopied paper, as this can permanently stain the skin . Avoid using colored
plastic gloves when handling the manikin, as they may also cause discoloration .
• Care should be taken when palpating the pulses to not use excessive force as
this will result in no pulse being felt . Only two individual pulses can be felt at
the same time .
• If a training session involves the administration of fluids and/or drugs into the
IV arm, empty the arm immediately following the training session .
• Defibrillation
• Only apply the defibrillator to a defibrillation post or zap plate which is
properly mounted on the manikin' s chest.
• Do not provide more than 2 x 360J defibrillator discharges per minute as
an average over a period of time to prevent overheating .
• The manikin chest must be kept dry. Special attention should be taken
when using IV Arm .
• Do not apply conductive gel or conductive defibrillation pads intended for
patient use to prevent chest skin pitting .
• Do not use cables or connectors with visible damage.
• Observe all normal safety precautions for use of defibrillators.
• Defibrillation must be performed over the two defibrillation connectors
only .
Air Tank Precautions: The right thigh of the ALS Simulator contains a com-
Nursing Anne pressed air tank . Contents under pressure:
• Do not puncture
• Do not store in excessive heat
• Release pressure in air tank prior to shipment
Do not pressurize above 120 psi or remove any safety devices to increase
pressure . The tank is protected with safety devices not allowing the pressure
to exceed 150psi. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the internal parts
of the right thigh . In the event of failure, contact the Laerdal Service Center
immediately for instructions .
This device generates, uses and possibly radiates radio-frequency energy . If it is
not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, it may cause harmful
interference to radio communications . In that case, the user is encouraged to
attempt correction of the interference by:
• Reorienting or relocating the receiving antenna.
• Increasing the distance between the device and receiver.
• Connecting the device to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected .
• Consulting the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Electromagnetic radiation from other radio transmitters or other electronic
equipment may cause noise in the head speaker . To eliminate this noise, move
manikin away from the radiation source or turn the head speaker volume to
zero .
