Equipment
The SimMan3G simulator is shipped with a neutral genitalia pad as default. This has no outlet for urine and cannot be catheterized. The pad can be exchanged for a male or female genitalia pad with urine catheter to simulate urine flow and catheterization. Use water based lubricant.
Equipment Connecting External Air and CO2 Sources An internal compressor is located in the right leg of the simulator. It is recommended to use an external source of compressed air whenever the simulator is stationary over extended periods of use. Connect a Laerdal double-lumen Air/ CO2 tube from an external Laerdal Compressor (not included) or regulator panel, to the Air/CO2 Inlet on the simulator. Connect CO2 only if the simulator is required to exhale CO2 with each ventilation. Exhaled CO2 can be detected with a real capnograhic device. The simulator will only exhale CO2 when a capnograph is registred as being connected to the system. Air / CO2 Inlet
