Cleaning the Fluid and Blood
System
After using the bleeding and or fluid system, the system must be
cleaned to prevent residue from clogging the valves and tubes. Keep
any wounds used connected while flushing the system with a cleaning
solution.
1 Ensure the manikin power is on.
2 Ensure the manikin’s internal reservoirs are drained. See Preparing
the Internal Reservoirs for filling.
3 Fill a bottle with a 60% Isopropanol solution or 70% Ethanol
solution.
4 Connect the bottle containing the alcohol solution to either the
blood or fluid fill connector and air connector to fill the manikin
with cleaning solution. Perform this action for both reservoirs. If
the manikin will be stored for long periods of time or transported
in freezing conditions, it is recommended to fill the reservoirs with
one of thee recommended alcohol solution to prevent damage
and preserve the integrity of the blood and fluid systems.
CLEANING THE FLUID SYSTEM

Unclogging Fluid Tubes.
1 From the Instructors application, open

Check the Secretions boxes for Sweat, Ears, Eyes, Nose and
Mouth.
2 Allow the Fluid system to flush with the cleaning solution until the
internal reservoir is empty.
3 When finished, uncheck all of the Secretions boxes.
CLEANING THE BLOOD SYSTEM
