Prepare Air/CO2

SM_Air-CO2_Panel_and_Reflector.svg

The Air/CO2 panel is located on the left side of the Patient Simulator’s torso. Access the panel by lifting up the skin flap and removing the protective covering.

If the Patient Simulator is required to exhale CO2 with each ventilation, connect an external CO2 supply. An external supply of compressed air can be connected when the Patient Simulator is stationary over extended periods.

  1. Connect a suitable CO2/external air source to a Laerdal external compressor or regulator panel.

  2. Connect a Laerdal double-lumen Air/CO2 tube from the external compressor or regulator panel to the Air/CO2 inlet on the panel.

NOTES

  • Exhaled CO2 can be detected with a CO2 detection device.

  • Refer to the Important Product Information booklet for information on maximum external air and CO2 connection limits.

  • For more information on external compressors and regulator panels compatible with SimMan CC, contact your local Laerdal representative.
