Laerdal Catheterization and Enema Trainer - Manual (Page 4)

Genitalia
Both male and female genitalia have been provided for urinary
catheterization and enema training procedures.
Valve tubes, with a screw cap on one end, will connect urethra and anus to
corresponding reservoirs. This cap must be connected to genitalia openings.
Soft vinyl end of connector is attached to urinary and anal reservoirs with a
white C-clamp. (Long valve connects urinary reservoir; short valve connects
anal reservoir.)
Pelvic support pin must be removed and replaced immediately when
assembling and disassembling genitalia. (Figure 2)
Figure 2
Pelvic support pin must be replaced.
Failure to replace pin will result in pelvic spread.
If this occurs, the genitalia module will no longer fit properly
in the manikin.
To disassemble:
1. Lift up on belly plate.
2. Pull upper portion of genitalia back to remove pelvic support pin.
3. Belly plate, genitalia with connectors, and colon reservoir may now be
removed simultaneously.
To assemble: (Photos 1, 2 & 3)
1.Screw both valves onto genitalia. (When attaching valves, be sure
alignment of genitalia, urinary reservoir (belly plate) and colon reservoir
are as illustrated in Figure 3).
2. Lift up on edge of belly plate.
3. Pull down upper portion of genital.
4. Insert into pelvic cavity.
5. Replace the pelvic support pin.
6. Press belly plate into position.

reservoir.

Urinary Catheterization and Enema Simulation
Catheters should be well lubricated with manikin lubricant or full
strength liquid soap prior to using.
If catheter hangs during removal, work it with an “in and out” motion.
Use warm water in reservoirs when possible to keep soap from clogging
the catheters. Make sure reservoirs are well drained of all water before
disconnecting valves.
A size 16 French catheter is suggested for urethral catheterization.
Size 7mm catheter is suggested for enema simulation.
Care and Maintenance
1. Clean with mild soap and water; do not submerse manikin, module or
parts in cleaning fluids or water.
2. Use only on clean surface. Avoid felt tipped markers, ink pens, acetone,
iodine or other staining products and avoid placing the module/manikin
on newsprint or inked lines of any kind.
3. To ensure longevity, each manikin and module/manikin should be cleaned
after each training session and a general inspection should be conducted
regularly.
