ADDING DEFIBRILLATION ADAPTER PLATES
The manikin torso is fitted with two stud connectors for defibrillator
cables. Foam pads may be fitted around the defibrillator studs during
the session as illustrated below:
The defibrillator studs must be fitted in place before using a live
defibrillator with defibrillation paddles or adhesive pads.
Press the adapter plates firmly into place.
DURING DEFIBRILLATION
A conventional defibrillator may be used on SimMan 3G. During
live defibrillation, the defibrillator and manikin may present a shock
hazard. All standard safety precautions must be taken when using the
defibrillator on the manikin.
Note: Defibrillation must be performed on the defibrillator
connectors only.
To prevent overheating during defibrillation, do not exceed a
defibrillation sequence of 3 shocks in 45 seconds followed by
1 minute of CPR.
After 30 minutes there must be at least 15 minutes with no shocking
before starting a new sequence.
Note: Do not repeat this for more than a 4 hour period.
Caution: The manikin must not be in contact with electrically
conductive surfaces or objects during defibrillation.
Caution: In hot conditions, intensive defibrillation may cause
thermal shutdown of the manikin.
Special care should be taken when using the manikin fluid systems.
To prevent torso skin electrode pitting, do not apply conductive gel or
conductive defibrillation pads intended for patient use.
Note: Do not defibrillate the manikin when it is OFF or if it is not
functioning normally.
Note: Do not press too hard over the defibrillation adapters as
this may cause arcing and pitting.
Note: Do not defibrillate the manikin without the torso skin.
A full service, including cleaning of the base board and its compartments
should be performed at regular intervals.
