Preparing the Manikin for Use: Cricothyroid Membrane Translucent Tape: 1. Expose neck to visualize opening that has been molded in place of cricothyroid membrane. 2. Cut a two (2) inch strip of the Cricothyroid Membrane Translucent Tape and apply it over the opening to simulate the actual membrane. NOTE: A tight seal will enhance the actual feel and sound of penetrating the cricothyroid membrane (See Fig. 1). Neck Skin Collar: 1. Lay a Neck Skin Collar into the molded track around neck area of trainer. 2. Attach the collar using the Velcro® strips. NOTE: Collar is designed to provide multiple sites for needle and surgical techniques. When a fresh site is needed, rotate collar in either direction.

Instructions for Use: Airway Management: 1. For best results, spray the inside of the pharynx, both nostrils, and all intubation tubes with a liberal amount of the provided lubricant. (Liquid soap may also be used.) 2. We recommend 7.5 I.D. to extend the life of the trainer. NOTE: Should incorrect ventilation be performed, air will pass through the esophagus, causing distention of the abdomen. 3. Use straight or curved laryngoscope blades #3 or #4.

Avoid felt tipped markers, ink pens, acetone, iodine or other staining products and avoid placing the manikin on newsprint or inked lines of any kind. 3. To ensure longevity, manikin should be cleaned after each training session and a general inspection should be conducted regularly. 4. Store properly between teaching sessions.
