Simulation Setup
Changing the Upper Dentures
The SimMan Essential manikin comes with a set of soft upper teeth as default. The soft set may be replaced with a hard set of teeth.
1 With one hand pull back the upper lip of the manikin’s
mouth.
2 Using the other hand, pull the set of upper teeth slightly
forward and down to free them from the gums.
3 Remove the teeth from the mouth.
4 Align the new set of teeth with the gums and push them back until the teeth engage and lock onto the gums.
5 Ensure that the new set of teeth is properly aligned with the gums before pushing them into places.
Changing the Irises
The irises can be changed to simulate different clinical states. The irises are secured by magnets in the eye socket. To change the irises
use the especially adapted suction wand.
Before changing the irises during a simulation, stop the blinking function in the Instructor Application.
1 Moisten the suction cup before performing this procedure.
1 With one hand pull back the upper lid. 2 Place the suction wand on the upper part of the iris.
Squeeze the back end of the wand to create a suction
seal on the iris.
3 Pull and roll the iris up and down towards the manikin’s mouth
using a rolling motion.
4 Place the iris in the eye kit and select another from the kit.
5 Insert the lower part of the iris into the socket until it connects
with the magnet below. Repeat this for the other eye.
