Introduction
General Manikin Care
Follow the instructions below to maintain optimum performance
and longevity of the manikin and its components.
General Care
To maintain manikin skins, wash hands before use and place the
manikin on a clean surface. Laerdal recommends to:
– Use gloves during simulation scenarios. deroloc gnisu diovA
plastic gloves, as they may cause discoloration of the manikin skin.
– Do not use felt-tipped markers, ink pens, acetone, iodine, or
other staining medications near the manikin. Take care not to
place the manikin on newsprint or colored paper. Staining may
be permanent.
– Clean manikin skins with mild soap and water.
Do not attempt to perform the following techniques on this manikin
due to the inability to properly sanitize the airway:
– Mouth-to-mouth/mouth-to-mask ventilation
– Insertion of simulated vomit or fluids for suctioning
– If a training session involves the use of fluids in the IV arm, drain
the arm immediately following the training session.
– Use only Laerdal Airway Lubricant, and apply sparingly.
– Rinse, clean, and dr y manikin component modules.
– Fold the torso skin back and powder the inside of the torso skin
to decrease friction. Do not spill powder into manikin chest cavity.
General Manikin Handling
Take the following precautions to avoid personal injury or damage to
the product:
– Introduce fluids into the manikin only as directed in this document
as this may damage the manikin and its components.
− Lubricate the oral and nasal airways with the lubricant provided
prior to inser ting any instrument, tube, or airway device. Also
lubricate instruments and tubes prior to use.
− Do not introduce humidified air into the system during ventilation.
− Do not use the manikin if the internal tubing and cabling is
disconnected.
– Never use the SimJunior manikin outdoors in wet conditions, as
this may pose a shock hazard or damage the manikin.
− Using a defibrillator in temperatures over 35° C (95° F) may
cause overheating.
Warning: Do not use automated chest compression
machines on the manikin.
Caution Latex: This product contains Natural Rubber
latex, which may cause allergic reactions when in contact with
humans.
In cold conditions, wait until the manikin has reached room
temperature before starting up the manikin.
To avoid overheating and reduce wear:
− When using in temperatures above 40°C (104°F), always allow
the manikin to cool down between training sessions.
− When using in a bed, manikin should not be covered with heavy
bedding which prevents heat transfer from the manikin.
A conventional defibrillator may be used on the SimJunior. During
defibrillation, the defibrillator and manikin may present a shock
hazard. All standard safety precautions must be taken when using a
defibrillator on the manikin.
1. Read and follow all safety and operating instructions provided
with your defibrillator and associated equipment.
2. Follow defibrillation protocol by avoiding contact between
the external paddles and any of the electrode sites while
defibrillating. A load of up to 300 joules can be delivered.
3. Failure to follow safety measures could result in injury or death.
For more information, consult your defibrillator’s original user manual.
Warnings:
– When performing defibrillation, use the defibrillator connectors
or the zap plate mounted on the manikin’s chest. Do not use
the ECG connectors which are designed exclusively for ECG
monitoring. Defibrillation on the ECG connectors will damage
the internal electronics of the manikin and may cause personal
injury.
– Do not defibrillate the manikin when it is turned OFF or if it is not
functioning normally.
3
Introduction
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, cease all shocking for at least
15 minutes before starting a new sequence. Do not repeat this for
more than a 4 hour period. Also, do not provide more than 2 x 300
defibrillator discharges per minute.
Warnings:
– The manikin must not come into contact with electrically
conductive surfaces or objects during defibrillation.
– Avoid use in all flammable environments. For example, high levels
of pure oxygen should be avoided during defibrillation. Ensure
good ventilation if concentrated oxygen is used near the manikin.
– The manikin torso must always be kept dry.
– Allow the manikin to acclimate before defibrillating. Sudden
changes in temperature may result in condensation collecting on
electronic components, which could pose a shock hazard.
– To prevent torso skin electrode pitting, do not apply conductive
gel or conductive defibrillation pads intended for patient use.
– Pressing down too hard on the defibrillation connectors during
defibrillation may also cause arcing and pitting.
– Do not defibrillate the manikin if the torso skin is not in place.
Mechanical or Electrical Hazards
Do not use the SimJunior manikin if:
appear to be leaking.
– Take extreme care to avoid direct contact with electrical, hot or
smoking parts. In case of a leaking battery, disconnect and remove
the battery when it is judged safe to do so.
– Exposure to fluids pose an explosion hazard.
– On every 30th charge cycle, drain the battery completely before
recharging. To drain the battery, run the manikin on battery
power until automatic shutdown.
– Only replace with a Laerdal SimJunior battery.
Storage and Transportation
− Never store fully charged batteries, for longer than a month.
− The manikin battery can be transpor ted in the manikin during
air freight.
− When transporting spare batteries, contact the airline or freight
company for the latest transport regulations.
Warning:
– The SimJunior manikin and accessories are heavy when combined
in the carrying case. Always ensure that SimJunior is firmly secured
during transpor tation and storage to prevent personal injur y or
damage to the product.
− Limbs are not attached to the torso.
− Skins are torn or not properly fastened.
− Internal or external cables, tubes or connectors are damaged.
− There is fluid leakage in or on the manikin.
− There are unusual sounds indicating air leakage or mechanical
damage.
− There are signs of electrical malfunction, such as an
unresponsive manikin or unusual smell or smoke.
Warning:
– Avoid pinch hazards - Do not use the manikin without the
external skins.
Battery Use and Maintenance
− Always use battery approved to power the SimJunior, Link Box,
and SimPad.
− Ensure that the batteries are properly installed. Inserting and
connecting batteries incorrectly could cause a shor t circuit.
Warnings:
– Dispose of batteries according to local regulations.
– The external battery charger is for indoor use only.
– The manikin batter y should only be charged in temperatures
ranging from 0 °C - 40°C (32 °F - 104 °F)

Using an External Compressor
The external compressor connects to the clear tube found in the
cable bundle exiting the right side of the manikin.
For more information on external compressors and regulator panels
compatible with SimJunior, contact your local Laerdal representative.
Preparing the IO Leg
The manikin’s right leg is designed for practicing intraosseous infusion
skills. Anatomy of the right leg includes knee, tibia, tibial tuberosity site,
and medial malleolus site. The right leg comes with IV tubing and one
IV bag for use as a reservoir during infusion.
Additional equipment needed:
• IV bag and administration set.
• Simulated blood concentrate.
• 35cc syringe and 16-gauge intraosseous needle.
To fill the IO leg and prepare it for use:
1. Raise the leg vertically.
Before storing the manikin:
– Detach the IV line and reservoir from the foot.
– Allow all fluid to drain.
– Store leg unplugged to allow it to air dry.
Note: Do not use saline solution. It may cause deterioration
of the leg. Use distilled or de-ionized water to avoid buildup of
minerals.
Administering IV Fluids
The right IV arm supports training for IV drug administration,
IV insertion, infusion, and bolus into peripheral veins of forearm,
antecubital fossa, and dorsum of the hand.
Use 20 to 22 gauge needle for IV simulation. To prevent clogging of
the IV system, use only distilled or de-ionized water to simulate IV
drugs.

Manikin Setup
Draining Excess IV Fluid
The IV fluid system is an open system. IV fluids are drained as they
are administered.
Before each session:
1. Attach the IV overflow tube (in the manikin’s right arm) to an
overflow container (such as an IV bag).
2. Allow excess fluid to drain into a container during the
simulation..
Cleaning the IV Arm
Clean the IV arm after each session or day of use by flushing the IV
Arm with 60% isopropanol or 70% ethanol.
Installing Defibrillation Adapter Plates
The manikin torso is fitted with two stud connectors for defibrillator
cables. Before attempting defibrillation, you must unscrew and remove
the defibrillator stud covers.
Warnings:
– Defib
rillation must be performed on the defibrillator connectors
only.
– Do not press too hard over the defibrillation adapters as this may
cause arcing and pitting.
– Do not defibrillate the manikin without the torso skin in place.
Connecting the Blood Pressure Cuff
The manikin is delivered with a customized blood pressure cuff.
Connect the tube to the white BP connector on back of the Link Box
before use.
Two defibrillation adapter plates are packaged with the manikin. The
defibrillator adapter plates must be fitted in place before using a live
defibrillator with defibrillation paddles or adhesive pads. Screw the
adapter plates firmly into place.
During Defibrillation
A conventional defibrillator (not included) may be used on the
SimJunior. 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: The speaker for the Manikin’s blood pressure is located
in the left antecubital fossa, shown below circled. The radial
and brachial pulses are located in the rectangular areas.
Calibrating the Blood Pressure Cuff with Instructor PC
1. Select <Calibration> from the menu.
2. Select <Calibrate BP...> from the drop-down menu.
