Colon Reservoir -

The colon reservoir inserts into the pelvic cavity with narrow end
downward and connector pointing out.This connector attaches the
reservoir to the rectal valve on the genitalia.The reservoir should be
removed from the manikin, inverted and drained completely before storage.

Long valve connects urinary reservoir; short valve connects anal reservoir.
To disassemble:
1. Lift up on belly plate.
2. Pull upper portion of genitalia back to remove pelvic support pin.
3. Belly plate, genitalia with connectors, and colon reservoir may now be
removed simultaneously.
Urinary Catheterization and Enema Simulation -
Laerdal Recommends
Catheters should be well lubricated with manikin
lubricant or full strength liquid soap prior to using.
After several uses, catheter may "hang" when water has washed away
lubricant, causing friction and binding. If this occurs, generously lubricate a
catheter and insert into urethra several times.
If catheter hangs during removal, work it with an "in and out" motion.
Use warm water in reservoirs when possible to keep soap from clogging
the catheters. Make sure reservoirs are well drained of all water before
disconnecting valves.
Laerdal Recommends
A size 12 French catheter is suggested for urethral catheterization.
Size 7mm catheter is suggested for enema simulation.
Check List for Valves That May Leak:
A. Are tubes/connectors attached correctly?
B. Do valve connectors have an O-ring?
C. Does the white clamp fit firmly against base of valve?
D. If valves are attached correctly, are they properly connected to
reservoirs and to genitalia?
