The Prytime Medical™ STAAR (Simulation Trainer for Arterial Access
and REBOA) Assemble, Disassemble & Troubleshooting Instructions
A. Introduction
Thank you for using the Prytime Medical™ STAAR (Simulation Trainer for Arterial Access and REBOA) . For additional
information and product updates see www.prytimemedical.com/product/staar.
B. Assembly of the STAAR
Open the case containing the STAAR components by turning the combination to '000' and then pressing the zipper-
release button in towards the combination dials.
1. Unzip the case and remove the body model, hoses, tablet, sump reservoir case, pump case, pressure infusion
bag, pressure transducer and all cables.
2. Fill the sump with water. For each fill, add 4 drops of the included algaecide solution to the water. Note: The
algaecide is effective for approximately one week. Weekly changing of water with addition of solution is
recommended.

- Page 2 Note: The STAAR has a simulated circulatory system with pressure presets that are designed with the intention that the sump and pump are to be placed on the floor and the simulator body is to be placed at table height. If the pump and sump are placed even with the body, the preset pressures will not be accurate.
- Page 3 5. Prepare an introducer sheath by fully inserting the dilator into sheath until a click is heard. Insert the introducer sheath into the left side of the body model by sliding the dilator/introducer sheath combo over the pre-installed guidewire until its hub is flush with the body model. Remove the guidewire and dilator. 6.

- Page 5 11. Before activating the pump circulatory flow, ensure that any potential leak points are closed off by checking the following: • Ensure the introducer sheath’s side arm’s stopcock is closed. • Ensure that the thigh patch is connected to the tubing with the body model in both the front and back. •...
- Page 6 Together, the “intensity” and “Offset” allow a great deal of flexibility in simulation of systolic and diastolic blood pressure combinations. Your STAAR is now assembled and ready for use with the demo ER-REBOA™ Catheter. Consult the Quick Reference Guide for steps for inserting the demo ER-REBOA™ Catheter.
- Page 7 Purge air until you are confident it is cleared from the tube. You may lift the model to facilitate air purging. If ultrasound will be used for access training, to improve visibility, apply ultrasound jelly in and around the tubing in the thigh patch. Your STAAR is set up for access training.

- Page 8 C. Disassembly of the STAAR 1. To disassemble the STAAR, begin by turning off the pump. 2. To drain water out of the model, open a pathway in the tubing by either: a. Opening the introducer sheath’s sidearm stopcock. b. Disconnecting the blood pressure monitoring extension line while the ER-REBOA catheter remains in the model.

“ON” button on the circuit board located on the inside of the lid. If this turns on the pump but the Prytime application does not start, please contact STAAR support for assistance. 3. The pressure readings are inaccurate. If the pressure reading is too high or low, ensure the sensor has been zeroed out properly. - Page 10 4. Pressure reading is zero. Ensure pump is on and circulatory flow is occurring. Flush arterial line to ensure there is a continuous fluid column without air bubbles from the tip of the catheter, through all connecting tubing, to the pressure transducer.
