Simulator
Problem
• Unpredictable behavior.
Possible Solutions
• Simulator malfunctions may be caused by loose cables, tubes or
connectors. Open the torso and check if any items appear to
have become disconnected or are leaking. See section: Simulator
Setup - Opening the Torso.
• In case of fluid leakage, power off the Simulator and contact
Laerdal Technical Service.
Airway Contamination
Problem
• Simulator airways have become contaminated from mouth-
to-mouth rescue breathing.
Possible Solution
• Clean the outside of the Simulator with Simulator wipes. Clean
the inside of the oral cavity with Simulator wipes. Change
the lung bladder; see section: Maintenance - Replacing Lung
Bladder.
Chest Movement
Problem
• No chest rise on Simulator.
Possible Solutions
• Check that power to Simulator is ON.
• In SimPad or LLEAP, check that
– awRR is not set to zero
– Chest Rise is not set to OFF
– ECG is set to a perfusing rhythm.
– Airway complications like maximum air resistance or
laryngospasm are not set.
– Verify that the Integrated Compressor is enabled in LLEAP.
See section: Turning the Internal Compressor Off.
• Check that any external compressed air source is switched
off and that the air tube is disconnected from the Simulator.
• The internal compressor may be overheated. Wait
approximately 20 minutes for it to cool down.
• Chest rise is set to bilateral (for example if ET-tube is inserted
too far into the bronchia).
• Chest rise bladder is leaking or tubing to chest rise bladder is
twisted kinked or disconnected. Replace chest rise bladder if
it is leaking, see Maintenance: Replacing the Chest Rise Bladder.
• Check air tubing for leakage; check that all connections are
intact. Replacing tubing section if leaking.
• Shallow chest movements and the internal compressor runs
continuously. The internal compressor may be worn. Contact
Laerdal Technical Service.
Lungs
Problem
• Lungs not functioning properly
Possible Solutions
• Open the torso and chest plate. Check that the lungs are free
to expand and are not restricted by any cables.
• Check that the Lung Bladder is properly connected, and that
the tubes are not twisted.
• Check that the Lung Bladder is in a horizontal position and
inserted correctly.
