Trauma Fill Tank to the corresponding ports on the simulator
Both connections must be made for correct operation.
Step 3: Pressurize the Trauma Fill Tank and Fill the On-Board Blood
Reservoir
An integrated hand pump is used to create the pressure for the Trauma Fill Tank.
WARNING: To prevent ejected pump assembly and/or solution from striking and injuring
you, NEVER stand with your face or body directly over the top of the tank when pumping
or loosening the pump.
To operate the pump and fill the reservoir:
a. Unlock the pump handle by turning counter-clockwise. (Be careful not to loosen
the pump from the tank.)
b. Stroke the pump handle up and down from 25 to 35 times to transport 2 liters of
simulated blood to the on-board blood reservoir. NEVER exceed 35 strokes while
pressurizing the tank.
c. Lock the pump handle back into the pump assembly by turning clockwise.
d. Watch the Overflow Bottle located on the tank assembly. When liquid begins to
appear in this bottle, the on-board blood reservoir is full. (Filling the on-board
blood reservoir takes approximately 3 to 5 minutes.)
32
Setup
Step 4: Release Pressure from the Trauma Fill Tank
Immediately release pressure from the tank by turning and holding the yellow pressure relief
knob clockwise until all air pressure is gone.
If pressure will not release using the relief knob:
a. Place a rag over the top of the tank and pump handle.
