CATHETERIZATION SIMULATOR P93
Filling of the bladder (Basic and Pro)
• First check that all the individual parts of the genital insert are fitting
correctly. The transparent bladder must be firmly screwed to the
base plate of the genital insert. On the PRO version, the bladder must
be screwed to the base plate of the abdominal wall instead when
practicing suprapubic catheter exchange.
• Insert the reservoir bottle by pushing the cap of the reservoir bottle
sideways into the retaining clip of the stand or the support rod for the
Basic or PRO version respectively.
• Connect the right (top view) tube connector of the bladder to the
reservoir bottle.
• In the Basic version, connect the left tube connector to the bleed tube.
The open end of the bleed tube is inserted through the hole on the
metal stand. In the PRO version, the bleed tube is connected using a
single connector to the reservoir bottle.
• Fill the reservoir bottle with enough liquid (fill volume 500 ml) through
the opening centrically located at the bottom surface of the reservoir
bottle. Make sure that the locking clip to the ventilation tube of the
reservoir bottle is fastened.
• After checking that all the connections are correctly in place, open the
locking clip on the ventilation tube.
• The system will then automatically fill up to the correct fluid level
(completely full bladder).
• The upper locking clip needs to stay open during all the training session.
Suprapubic catheter exchange:
For suprapubic catheter exchange, sufficient bladder filling is essential.
If the bladder volume is insufficient, the required filling volume of 300ml
can be achieved retrogradely on the PRO version via the suprapubic
catheter. Since the filling volume of the transparent bladder is 200 ml,
100 ml goes into the reservoir bottle to create the required overpressure
in the system. When filling, the lower locking clip on the drain hose
should remain closed and the upper locking clip open.
Emptying the bladder
• Once the simulation has been completed, the residual liquid should be
drained out as much as possible.
• To do this, open the locking clip and empty the liquid via the open end
of the drain hose (position the end of the hose well below the bladder).
• Disconnect the fully emptied reservoir bottle from the bladder.
• Disconnect the bleed tube from the bladder.
• Remove the genital insert from the basic body or from the metal base.
Make sure that the open ends of both tubes are always above the level
of the bladder.
• Hold the genital insert so that the genitals are facing upwards.
• Unscrew the genital part or abdominal wall from the transparent
bladder so that you can lock it firmly and securely with one hand
• Empty the bladder by pouring out the liquid.
