Trouble Shooting 33~34 - Simulaids SMART STAT BASIC 8002 Instruction And Care Manual

Trouble Shooting SMART STAT Basic Patient Simulator:
Energizing: Begin troubleshooting the patient simulator by checking the electrical supply and
connection. Start with the power cord connection to be sure the product responds to energy
input. Turn the simulator on with the switch on the left shoulder. If you have function with the
power cord, turn the unit off and disconnect the power cord. Then install a battery leg that is
charged. Turn the simulator back on. If you do not have a functional simulator at this time,
your battery is either not charged or dysfunctional. Revert to the power cord for any further
trouble shooting necessary.
Pneumatic features: A compressor located inside the simulator's right thigh runs the
pneumatic features. If you are experiencing difficulties with pneumatic features, check the
activity of the air compressor by placing your hand on the thigh. It should be vibrating slightly.
Also check the fan in the knee of the right thigh to see that it is spinning. If the air compressor
isn't vibrating or the fan is not running, call technical support 800-431-4310.
If the compressor and fan devices are working and the pulses, chest rise, or tongue swelling
features, is not working; indications are there may be a problem with the pneumatic switches
call for tech support.
If all of your pneumatic systems are working, but there aren't any ECG patterns, heart sounds
or lung sounds or abdominal sounds, call tech support when you are able to identify what
features do and do not work.
NO RESPONSE FROM THE AIR COMPRESSOR If it is not running, make sure that the
electrical connections are tight and properly mated, (Export models, re-check the converter plug
for appropriate direction, type and service). If you are using the battery leg option, detach the
leg from the simulator and hook it up to the battery charger. If the green light is on, the battery
is fully charged. If the red light blinks, the battery needs to continue charging before you can
use it.
Remove the chest overlay, pull the hairpins and washer off both sides of the chest and clavicle
area, gently lift the chest far enough to release the CPR wheel wire from the eyelet screwed
into the upper chest post on the superior side of the compression spring. Then gently lift the
chest enough to expose the xxx.
If all of these things are correct, you should be able to feel the compressor vibrating in the right
thigh. If not, call the tech support hot line.
PULSES: If no pulses, check that the air compressor is running (you can feel the vibration in
the right thigh if it is operational). If it is not running, make sure that the electrical connections
are tight and properly mated. If all of these things are correct, you should be able to feel the
compressor vibrating in the right thigh. If not, call the tech support hot line. If you have very
weak, or no pulses, start at the iPad and make sure the blood pressure is above 100
systolic, and the diastolic pressure is less. If the B/P is over 70 and the tongue inflates, then
check the pulse tube connections, starting with the knee joints. Make sure the connectors are
solidly attached to the tubing coming from the upper leg. If they are pulled loose they will act
like a drain on the air pressure needed to drive the upper pulses. The same will hold true if the
pulse lines from the arms are disconnected from the ports on the outside of the electronics box
inside the chest. Another place to check for disconnections is on the femoral pulse connectors
on the outside of the electronic box near the leg universals. If there are no disconnected or
loosely connected tubing, and the tongue does not inflate, call the tech support hot line.
