Overall Warnings

Damage caused by misuse may void the
manufacturer's warranty. Failure to comply with
the following guidelines may result in injury or
damage to the equipment. Additional warnings
are found throughout the document.

GENERAL

• This simulator is constructed of material
that approximates skin texture. Therefore,
in handling the model, use the same gentle
techniques as you would in working with a
patient.
• Do not wrap this or any other Gaumard
product in newsprint.
• Indelible marks made with ballpoint pens, ink
or marker cannot be removed.
• Do not use alcohol, acetone, Betadine® or
any other antiseptic which contains iodine in this
or any Gaumard® simulator. These products
could damage or stain the skin of the simulator.
• Use of needles sizes 22 gauge and smaller
will extend the lifetime of the resealing skin and
tubing.

STORAGE

• Improper storage may damage the simulator.
Keep it stored in the box and/or bag provided.
• Store the simulator in a cool, dry place.
extended storage should be between 32 - 85
degrees F (0-29 Celsius). Other temperatures
will cause the simulator to soften and slowly
warp.
• Do not stack or store heavy materials on top
of the box and/or bag.
• It is acceptable to operate the simulator at an
ambient temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit
(35 Celsius) for a short period of time.

CLEANING

• Clean the skin of the simulator after every
training session. The skin should be cleaned
with a cloth, dampened with diluted liquid dish
washing soap.
• Always purge with clean distilled water and
then drain the vein reservoirs at the end of the
simulation session. Doing so will retard the
formation of mold and prevent clogging of the
system.
• We recommend flushing veins with 70:30
solution of clean water to isopropyl alcohol (IPA)
at least once per month to prolong the life of the
vasculature.
The simulator is "splash-proof" but not water-
proof. Do not submerge or allow water to enter
the interior of the simulator.
