Care and Cautions
Overall Warnings
Remember that damage caused by misuse
is not covered by your warranty. It is critical
to understand and comply with the following
guidelines:
GENERAL
• Never disconnect the communications
module while the UNI software is running.
The software will halt, and the module may be
damaged.
• Do not wrap this or any other Gaumard
product in newsprint.
• Indelible marks made with ballpoint pens, ink
or marker cannot be removed.
• Only use Gaumard’s provided simulated
blood. Any other simulated blood containing
sugar or any additive may cause blockage
and/or interruption of the vasculature system.
WARNING
Vein tubing contains latex which may
cause allergic reactions. Users allergic
or sensitive to latex should avoid contact.
Discontinue use of this product and seek
medical attention if an allergic reaction
occurs.
• Replacement parts are available from
Gaumard Scientic or from your Distributor.
PROCEDURES
• Do not attempt to intubate without lubricating
the airway adjunct with silicone lubricant
(provided). Failure to do so will make
intubation very difcult and is likely to result
in damage.
• Mouth to mouth resuscitation without a
barrier device is not recommended, as it will
contaminate the airway.
• Treat Code Blue III Neonate with the same
precautions that would be used with a real
patient.
• The use of needles larger than 23 gauge will
reduce the lifetime of the lower arms’ skin and
veins.
• When the arm veins require replacement,
contact Gaumard to arrange for a lower arm
exchange. Refer to the “Consumables and
Replacement Parts” section of this guide, and
contact customer service for more information.
CLEANING
• The Neonate should be cleaned with a cloth
dampened with diluted liquid dish washing
soap.
• Remove all traces of any lubricant.
• Do not clean with harsh abrasives.
• Do not use povidone iodine on the simulator.
• Dry thoroughly.
• Code Blue III Neonate is “splash-proof” but
not water-proof. Do not submerge or allow
water to enter the interior of the simulator.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
Operating Code Blue III Neonate outside these
ranges may affect performance:
• Operating temperature: 50°-95° F (10°-35° C).
• Humidity: 5%-95% (non-condensing).
STORAGE CONDITIONS
• Storage temperature: 32°-113° F (0°-45° C).

Terminology
It is wise to spend a moment familiarizing
yourself with some of the terminology that will
be used to discuss simulation with the Code
Blue III Neonate system.
FACILITATOR
The person conducting the simulation; an
instructor or lab staff member.
UNI
The Code Blue III Neonate User Interface
software application, used to control the
simulator and evaluate care providers.
| Getting Started | User Guide | 9
PALETTE ITEM
Any full or partial set of physiological parameters
that have been grouped and saved together
under a single name.
PROFILE
A unique conguration, including custom
Palette, Scenarios, and options. Each Prole
acts as a separate program, in that changes
made to one prole have no effect on others.
PROVIDER
A person participating in the simulation as a
healthcare provider.
SCENARIO
A saved sequence of physiological states,
like a “playlist.” Scenarios provide a level of
automation that unburdens the facilitator and
allows standardized presentation of symptoms.
SCENARIO ITEM
A Palette Item that is part of a scenario. Scenario
Items may also represent a xed delay period
(“Wait”) or a pause (“Wait Indenitely”).

Equipment Set Up
Control Computer
The simulator is controlled from a laptop
computer equipped with a USB communication
module.
Refer to the laptop’s documentation for
important information regarding use, charging,
and care before continuing.
Communication
Module
The Code Blue III Neonate is powered on via
a hard wired connection within a minute of the
UNI software initializing.
Outlined below are the steps for connecting the
neonate to the control laptop for a hard wired
connection.
1. Connect the AC adapter to the power port
located on the right side of the neonate.
3. Connect the communication cable to the
USB communication module.
4. Lastly, connect the communication module
to an available USB port on the laptop, then
power up the laptop computer.
2. Connect the communication cable
(blue Ethernet cable provided) to the
communications port located on the right
side of the neonate.
| Equipment Set Up | User Guide | 11
5. Double click on the UNI icon to start the
application.
WARNING
Never disconnect the communication
module while the UNI software is
running. Doing so can seriously damage
the module.
EXTENDED SCREEN VIRTUAL MONITOR
(OPTIONAL)
The control computer utilizes an extended
monitor to display the simulator’s vital signs
Follow the steps below to connect the monitor
screen to the laptop computer.
=
5. Connect the AC cord plug to the power outlet
and the other end to the monitor’s AC input.
6. Turn on the laptop and the additional LCD
monitor.
The UNI will load and launch the Virtual Monitor
application automatically. Vitals signs will
display on the additional LCD monitor.
1. Begin by locating the laptop’s power input
and video output. The location of these ports
may vary by computer model
2. Connect the charger’s AC plug into the
power outlet and the power adapter plug into
the laptop power port.
3. Connect the video cable to the video-out
port on the laptop.
WARNING
Never disconnect the communication
module while the UNI software is
running. Doing so can seriously damage
the module.
If the extended monitor does not display an
extended image of the home screen, navigate
to the appendix for instructions.
CONTROL TABLET PC (OPTIONAL)
The tablet PC is preloaded with the UNI control
software used by the facilitator to initialize the
simulator and control the vital signs.
Before turning on the computer for the rst time,
please review the documentation included with
the product for important care and warning
information.
4. Connect the video cable to the LCD monitor
screen.

VIRTUAL MONITOR WIRELESS
CONNECTIVITY
The control PC and the all-in-one virtual monitor
PC automatically establish a wireless link at
startup. The wireless connection allows the
Gaumard control software to transmit the vital
signs information to the Gaumard Monitors
software.
To verify the wireless link between the two
computers, click the wireless icon located on
the task tray. The wireless network name is
congured at the factory and may differ from
the one seen below. To troubleshoot connection
issues between the virtual monitor computer
and the controlling tablet, please refer to the
Appendix section, page 88 .
GAUMARD MONITORS
After the wireless connection is established,
double click or tap the Gaumard Monitors icon
to start the vital signs software.
The Gaumard Monitors software is now ready to
receive the vital signs information generated by
the UNI control software.

Code Blue® III
Neonate Features
Airway
NASAL AND ORAL INTUBATION
The Code Blue III Neonate’s airway can be
intubated orally using endotracheal tubes and
nasally using a nasopharyngeal tube. Code
Blue III Neonate also allows providers to use a
LMA.
WARNING
• Always lubricate tubing prior to
performing any nasal or oral intubation.
Failure to do so will make intubation very
difcult and is likely to result in damage.
• Do not apply silicone or mineral oil
directly into the mouth and airway.
INTUBATION SENSOR
Once intubated, sensors detect the depth of
the intubation tube. If the tube is inserted too
deep the left lung is disabled automatically,
realistically demonstrating right mainstem
intubation. Correcting the tube position enables
the left lung.
ET tube with black colored end might
interfere with the correct intubation
sensor detection.
ET tube with clear end is recommended
as shown below.
