INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE TRAUMATIC WOUND MODULE
Thank you for choosing a Ruth Lee Trauma Rescue Manikin. We hope it will
provide an enriching rescue and clinical skills experience.
CONNECTING BLOOD TO TRAUMATIC LEG WOUND
This manikin allows you to simulate a severe open wound on the thigh of your
manikin. When not in use, we recommend that you remove the blood supply tube
from the manikin. This is to make sure the tube is clean and dry and does not
become `kinked’ whilst in storage. To connect the blood supply tube, place the
end of the tube in hot water for 30 seconds to help it become more pliable,
and then push the tube onto the wound connector on the lower leg of your
manikin. The tube can then be fed up inside the overalls to protect it and
comes out of the neck of the overalls, where you can attach the lance for the
blood pump.
USE OF BLOOD PUMP FOR TRAUMATIC LEG INJURY
A pump for the traumatic leg wound is included with your manikin. It is
important this is used correctly to achieve the most realistic haemorrhage
affects. Connect the pressure lance from the pump to the wound blood supply
tubing by placing the end of the tube in hot water for 30 seconds, then push
onto the lance approx. 75mm. IMPORTANT – ensure the end of the tube is allowed
to cool completely before starting to pump blood – use cold water if required.

USE OF BLOOD PUMP – CONTINUED
Fill the supplied container with simulation blood and ensure that the pressure
unit is sealed and all supply connections are in place. Pressurise the
container by pumping the handle do not over pressurise approx. 5-10 pumps
will be sufficient for most scenarios. Press the lance trigger to begin the
blood flow Flow can be regulated and tailored to your requirements by
adjusting the fill level, the pressure, and the trigger control. By regulating
the blood flow, the trainer can stop the supply of blood to the wound,
indicating that the trainee has shown the required proficiency to stop the
bleeding through either packing the wound or applying a tourniquet correctly.
AFTER USE CARE
Once training is complete ensure the container is de-pressurised prior to
opening. This can be done by either keeping the trigger pressed until the flow
ceases or carefully lifting up the pressure release valve. Flush out the
container with clean water and then re-pressurise and push residual water with
air through the blood supply tube to ensure all tubing is dry Dry the wound
and tubing and disconnect the lance from the blood supply tubing. When storing
the manikin, it is recommended that the tubing is removed to avoid the tubing
being compressed and avoid the tubing from sealing up. The wound itself can be
washed out with water, and then dried thoroughly using more packing material
or towels.
WARNINGS
· Take care when using hot water. · Pressure release valve can activate
without warning. · Do not over pressurise the container as this may cause
damage to the connections. · Do not use if the pressure container, lance, or
tubing is damaged replace as required. · Ensure blood supply tubing is
securely fitted onto the lance and the leg wound connector. · Simulation blood
not supplied refer to manufacturer’s instructions for safe use, handling
precautions, and disposal.
