Replacing and Filling IO Units with Blood

The IO Pads supplied with SimMan 3G Trauma are disposable parts meant for single use.

Sternal IO

1 Attach the Sternal IO bag to the Sternal tube and close

off the pinch clamp.

2 Remove the Sternal IO pad from the manikin chest.

3 Remove the Sternal tube from the sternal pad.

4 Fill the sternal IO pad with 7ml of blood. Ensure the pad

is completely filled.

5 Reattach the Sternal tube to the Sternal IO pad.

6 Place the Sternal IO unit in the Sternal Chassis. Slide

the unit down and towards the neck, until it fits securely
under the top edge of the chassis.

The sternal IO is now ready for simulation.

Note: If bits of plastic from the module get stuck in the needle, flush the needle with fluid to dislodge the obstruction.
