Care and Cautions
8 | User Guide | Premie HAL |
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. Additional warnings are found throughout the documentation If the simulator will not be used for an extended period, re-charge the battery at least once every 60 days to prevent damage. Do not attempt to intubate without lubricating the airway adjunct with a silicone oil lubricant (provided). Failure to do so will make intubation very difficult and is likely to result in damage. NEVER disconnect the communications module while the UNI software is running. The software will halt, and the module may be damaged. When simulating drug administration via endotracheal tube, providers must use an empty syringe. Passing liquids into the trachea or esophagus may cause internal damage. Premie HAL should be cleaned with a cloth dampened with diluted liquid dishwashing soap. If medical adhesives remain on the skin, clean with alcohol wipes. DO NOT USE “GOO GONE” as the citric acid in the formula will cause pitting of the various materials comprising your simulator. Ballpoint pens, ink or newsprint, and markers permanently stain the skin.
Store Premie HAL in a cool, dry place. Extended storage above 85 degrees Fahrenheit (29 Celsius) will cause the simulator to soften and slowly warp. It is acceptable to operate Premie HAL at an ambient temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 Celsius). Premie HAL is "splash-proof" but not water-proof. Do not submerge or allow a large volume of fluid to enter the interior of the simulator. Do not expose the tablet computer to water or excessive dust unless it is protected by a rugged case (available separately). Mouth to mouth resuscitation without a barrier device is not recommended, as it will contaminate the airway. Treat Premie HAL with the same precautions that would be used with a real patient. The use of needles larger than 22 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. Do not inject fluids into the intramuscular sites. Intramuscular sites are for placement exercises only. Do not remove or replace the umbilical cord while Premie HAL is in operation. Doing so will cause damage to the system.

Do not pull or carry the simulator by the limbs. Handle Premie HAL with the same care as a human patient. WARNING: To avoid damage to the simulator, please store and ship it in the clear poly bag provided. The lubricants and other accessories provided are for use with the accompanying patient simulator only. The lubricants and other accessories are not suitable for human use or medical treatment/diagnosis and should never be used for such purposes.
Conductive Sites Premie HAL’s conductive skin sites allow the attachment of real EKG electrodes. This feature permits the user to track cardiac rhythms with their own equipment just like with a human patient. A few special concerns are described below. Premie HAL does not accept real electrical therapy. Do not pace or defibrillate Premie HAL with real electrical equipment.

Terminology It is wise to spend a moment familiarizing yourself with some of the terminology that will be used to discuss simulation with the Premie HAL system. Automatic Mode - In this mode, vital signs respond automatically to caregiver participation, instructor specifications, and pharmacologic intervention. The model used in this operating mode was developed based on physiologic principles. Features unique to this mode include: a comprehensive list of drugs for easy administration, a drug profile editor for adding new drugs or editing existing ones, among other things. Facilitator - the person conducting the simulation; an instructor or lab staff member. UNI - is the software application, used to control the simulator and evaluate care providers. Palette - a collection of Palette Items. Each profile has its own palette. Palette Item - Any full or partial set of physiological parameters that have been grouped and saved together under a single name. Profile - a unique Premie HAL software configuration, including custom Palette, Scenarios, and options. Each Profile acts as a separate program, in that changes
14 | User Guide | Premie HAL |
made to one profile have no effect on the 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 fixed delay period ("Wait") or a pause ("Wait Indefinitely"). Stylus - a special pointing device for the tablet computer. The stylus is the fastest and easiest means of controlling the Premie HAL software. See the Equipment Set-up section of this guide for more information on working with the stylus.
Equipment Set-up
| Premie HAL | User Guide | 15
Control Tablet Computer The touchscreen tablet computer serves as the simulator’s control center. Startup and control commands are sent from the Gaumard control software (UNI) to the simulator wirelessly using the RF communication module shown in the next section. Please refer to the computer’s documentation for important user and safety information before powering on the tablet computer for the first time.
four corners of the screen. Position yourself and the tablet as if you are working, and carefully touch the exact center of each of the targets. After calibration, the pointer should be displayed directly beneath the stylus tip. Significant changes to viewing angle should be followed by calibration for best performance.
Communication Module Connect the RF communication module to an available USB port on the tablet’s/PRO+ left side.
USING THE STYLUS The stylus operates very much like a mouse. You will notice that the pointer moves when the stylus is held near, but without touching the screen. Tapping the screen with the stylus tip is like clicking the primary (usually left) mouse button. Holding the stylus button while tapping the screen is like clicking the secondary (usually right) mouse button.
Secure the RF communication module to the tablet or PRO+ computer using the Velcro patch.
CALIBRATING THE STYLUS For working with the Gaumard control software and many other applications, the stylus input is far superior to a mouse in both speed and comfort. An additional advantage is it can be easily calibrated for your personal comfort. The calibration utility found in the control panel will present the user with crosshair targets at each of the

The tablet is now ready to communicate with simulator.
Warning: Never disconnect the communications module while the Premie HAL software is running. Doing so can seriously damage the module.
Premie HAL Battery Premie HAL (S/N p6009067 or higher) includes two separate power adapters labeled “Premie HAL Charger” and “Premie HAL Power Supply”. Before using the simulator for the first time, reference the use for each adapter below. CHARGING THE BATTERY To charge the battery, connect the adapter labeled “Premie HAL Charger” to the battery port and charge Premie HAL for 2-3 hours (or until the charger displays a green light). The charger indicator light will show red during the charge period and green once the process is complete. The simulator’s battery charges only when the control software is disabled.
Avoid using the simulator while the battery charger is connected. If the simulator is in use while the charger is connected, the battery will not charge. To charge the battery you must: 1. If connected, unplug the charger adapter from the simulator and the wall outlet. 2. Turn off the simulator by closing the UNI control software. 3. Re-connect the charger adapter to the wall outlet and the simulator’s battery port. 4. Leave the simulator charging for 2-3 hours with the UNI control software disabled. BATTERY LIFE Premie HAL has a maximum battery runtime of approximately 2 hrs. Total runtime is dependent on factors such as breathing rate and sounds. The battery status is displayed on the software status panel after the connection with the simulator is established. For more information about the battery indicator, refer to “Working with UNI” section. Warning: If the simulator will not be used for an extended period, re-charge the battery at least once every 30 days to prevent damage to the internal battery.
| Premie HAL | User Guide | 17
USING THE POWER SUPPLY (SYSTEM S/N p6009067 OR HIGHER) The power supply adapter allows the simulator to operate through long simulations sessions by drawing power from the wall outlet and not battery reserve. Use the power supply for simulation sessions lasting 2 hours or more. If simulation sessions are shorter than 2 hours, use the simulator’s battery reserve. The power supply adapter will NOT re-charge the battery. Avoid using the power supply adapter when the simulator’s battery is completely depleted. To use the power supply adapter: 1. Fully charge the simulator’s battery using the “Charger” adapter. 2. Disconnect the “Charger” and connect the “Power Supply” adapter. 3. Activate the UNI software. 4. The UNI battery icon will display a lightning icon when the power supply is connected. Please contact Gaumard for information on the power supply upgrade for earlier Premie HAL models.
