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 30 days to prevent damage to the battery. Do not attempt to intubate without lubricating the airway adjunct with a mineral 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. Newborn 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.
8 | User Guide | Newborn HAL |
Store Newborn 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 Newborn HAL at an ambient temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 Celsius). Newborn 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 Newborn 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 Newborn HAL is in operation. Doing so will cause damage to the system.
Do not pull or carry the simulator by the limbs. Handle Newborn HAL with the same care as a human patient. 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. WARNING: To avoid damage to the simulator, please store and ship it in the clear poly bag provided.
The Gaumard User Interface features a virtual electrical therapy function to simulate defibrillation or pacing.
Electrical Therapy One of Newborn HAL’s most exciting features is the accommodation of real monitoring and electrical therapy devices. In most cases, no special instruction is necessary to use such devices. Newborn 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. Newborn HAL does not accept real electrical therapy. Do not pace or defibrillate Newborn 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 Newborn 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.
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 Newborn HAL software. See the Equipment Set-up section of this guide for more information on working with the stylus.
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 Newborn HAL software configuration, including custom Palette, Scenarios, and options. Each Profile acts as a separate program, in that changes

Equipment Set-up
14 | User Guide | Newborn HAL |
Newborn HAL Battery Newborn HAL (S/N B1010788 or higher) includes two separate power adapters labeled “Newborn HAL Charger” and “Newborn HAL Power Supply”. Please review the use for each adapter before using the simulator for the first time. BATTERY LIFE Newborn HAL has a maximum battery runtime of approximately 3 hrs. Total runtime is dependent on the breathing rate, volumes, seizures, and muscle tone. The battery charge is displayed on the software panel after the connection with the simulator is established. For more information about the battery indicator, refer to Working with UNI section. WARNING: Do not store the simulator with a discharged battery. It is good practice to re-charge the battery at the end of every simulation session.
CHARGING THE BATTERY The simulator’s battery can only be recharged using the “battery charger”. In addition, the simulator must be off or in standby. The battery charger does not recharge the battery while the simulator is in use, nor does it keep the battery from discharging. Turn the simulator off and connect the battery charger to recharge the battery. To charge the battery: 1. Close the UNI software to turn the simulator off 2. Connect the adapter labeled “Newborn/Premie HAL Charger” to the battery port located on the simulator’s right side. 3. Allow the simulator to charge 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.
If the simulator will not be used for an extended period, re-charge the battery at least once every 30 days. Doing so will prevent a reduction of the battery’s total charge capacity to self-discharge. 4. After the charger indicator light turns green, disconnect the
| Newborn HAL | User Guide | 15
charger. The simulator is ready for use.
4. The UNI battery icon will display a lightning icon when the power supply is connected.
Avoid using the simulator while the battery charger is connected. Please reference the troubleshooting guide for information on how to resolve battery issues. USING THE POWER SUPPLY (SYSTEM S/N B1010788 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.
Please contact Gaumard for information on the power supply upgrade for earlier Newborn HAL models.
Control Table PC 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 first time, please review the documentation included with the product for important care and warning information.
USING THE STYLUS 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 operate the simulator from wall power using the power adapter: 1. Fully recharge the simulator’s battery using the “Battery Charger” adapter.
The tablet’s stylus is a pen-shaped input used to interact with files and programs.
Left click - tap the screen with the pointer. Tap twice rapidly to double-click.
Right click - tap and hold a highlighted item or hold the button near the pointer and tap the item or text.
CALIBRATING THE STYLUS 2. Disconnect the “Charger” and connect the “Power Supply” adapter. 3. Activate the UNI software.
16 | User Guide | Newborn HAL |
As part of the initial setup process, calibrate the stylus using the Tablet and Pen calibration tool in the Windows® control panel. Complete the calibration process while holding
the pen in a natural writing position for greater accuracy during normal use. WIRELESS COMMUNICATION USB MODULE The controlling computer transmits the startup and control commands to simulator through the USB RF communication module. Connect the RF communication module to an available USB port on the tablet.
WARNING: Never disconnect the communications module while the Newborn HAL software is running. Doing so can seriously damage the module.
Virtual Monitor The Gaumard Monitors software displays NEWBORN HAL’s simulated vital signs in real time. The interactive monitoring software is preloaded in to the virtual monitors PC.
Secure the RF communication module to the tablet or PRO+ computer using the Velcro patch. The tablet is now ready to communicate with the simulator wirelessly. For information about the signal strength indicator, go to Working with UNI section
