General Precautions

Make sure the training model is set up on a stable, sturdy work surface such as a bed, stretcher, or table that will not collapse and cause injury to users.
Heavier training models should be placed on a patient bed or stretcher rated to support such weight.
Place the model on smooth surfaces only. Rough or uneven surfaces can leave impressions on the skin and damage the model.
Do only the procedures supported by each product as described in this guide.
Do not use needles. This model is not designed for punctures or other needle access. Using needles can cause injury and will void the warranty.
Do not use or store other sharp objects such as scissors, scalpels, or box-cutters with the training model.
Do not pull on the training model skin. This can cause the skin to tear.
Do not mark directly on the training model as this will permanently damage it.
Do not insert any objects or tools into the model except for the equipment, accessories, or medical supplies intended for use with this model.
Do not use chemical solvents on the models.
Clean the training model with water and a light soap solution only. Do not immerse the model or use large amounts of liquid to wash it.

Latex-Free

All CAE Blue Phantom training models, products, and accessories are manufactured only of materials that do not contain latex.

Service and Repair

The CAE Blue Phantom training models are not user-serviceable. Only a trained technician may open or disassemble the product.
Unauthorized use or handling of the model may void the warranty.
If you have a problem with your product, contact CAE Customer Support.

Using the Training Model

This section has information and instructions about the setup and use of the training model and any specific training procedures.

Setup

Follow the guidelines below to unpack and set up your CAE Blue Phantom training model.

Open the shipping carton:
- Use extreme caution with sharp tools, such as a box cutter, to avoid damage to the training model.
Unpack the equipment:
- Remove the training model from its shipping container. For heavier models, use proper lifting techniques to prevent bodily injury.
- Review the equipment, accessories, and supplies to make sure all necessary pieces are present. See the Equipment Overview section of this guide for a list of items included with this model.
Set up for training:
- Put the model on a stable patient bed, stretcher, or table.
- Prepare your ultrasound system and equipment.
- Gather any procedural equipment and supplies.

Training

This section provides information about using your model for training and practice.

Ultrasound Scanning

Note:
CAE Blue Phantom products do not teach ultrasound procedures or techniques. Refer to your institution or training program for more information.

To scan with your training model and conduct a simulated ultrasound-guided procedure:

Place the model in the appropriate position for scanning.
Place ultrasound gel on the transducer or on the training model in an adequate quantity so that the transducer slides effortlessly on the model. Add more gel as needed.
Adjust the ultrasound system controls per your training protocol and the manufacturer’s instructions. Optimize the image with the ultrasound controls as needed.

Ultrasound-guided Procedures
In addition to ultrasound scanning, some block models are designed for specific ultrasound-guided needle procedures. For the two models listed below, use your normal protocol and equipment for the procedures, and follow your institution’s policies and guidelines.

CAUTION
Do not use antiseptics, such as iodine, on the training model. This can cause permanent damage to the model.

Follow these procedure-specific guidelines for your model:

CAE Blue Phantom Regional Anesthesia Ultrasound Training Block (BPNB150)
For optimal performance of the training model, follow these steps:

Purge all air from the needle before infusing simulated anesthetics into the model.
NOTE: Accidental infusion of air into the model during training can cause air to remain within the tissue or needle track. The Simulex tissue then will not “heal” and this will result in a visible needle track or air bubble. Remove the trapped air by injecting the same access point with fluid until the air is flushed from the system.
Inject the fluid. As you inject the simulated anesthetic, you will observe the accumulation of fluid at the needle tip location.
NOTE: Do not inject tap water into your training model. Infuse only local anesthetics, saline, sterile water, or CAE Blue Phantom fluid.
After the injection procedure is completed, remove the fluid from the model by drawing back the syringe plunger to withdraw the infused fluid.

CAE Blue Phantom Soft Tissue Biopsy Ultrasound Training Block (BPTM130)
When a tissue sample is taken from the block, it leaves an air-filled space the same size as the sample. Once a tissue sample is removed, it cannot be re- inserted. Therefore, this product has a finite lifespan.

Care and Maintenance

With proper care, your training model will remain in optimal condition and ready for use.

Storage and Transport

Follow these guidelines to properly store or transport your model:

Storage temperature degree range: 45 to 85 °F (7 to 29 °C)
Store the model in its plastic storage case.
Ensure any tubes are not pinched or compressed under the block. This will damage the tubes and void the warranty.
Transport the block in its plastic storage case.

Cleaning

To maintain the product skin for the lifespan of the product, clean the exterior of the model after each use. Follow these steps:

Mix one cup of tap water with ¼ teaspoon of mild liquid soap (such as dish soap).
Gently clean the model’s exterior with the soap mixture and a soft, non-abrasive sponge or cloth.
Rinse lightly with clean water.
Dab or pat with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth to dry the product after cleaning. Do not wipe or rub the skin, which can damage it.
After the model has dried completely, lightly coat the external surface of the model with baby powder and dust off any excess.
