5iStan Fluids Trauma and Blood
- Red Wound Tube Leg Blood exit
- Yellow Vent Overflow to canister when tank is
filled (up to 700ml). - Blue Fill Fill Clear, Blood or Urine from this
side. Can only use one color at a time
(Diaphoresis, tears, nose, mouth and ear
secretions are filled here). - Yellow with Gray Cap External hookup for air
compressor also serves as pressure release/drain
for compressor overfill and moisture. - Clear Tube IV Drain Drains IV, Trauma and
Secretion sites from simulator.
- Red Wound Tube Leg Blood exit
- Red Wound Tube Abdomen blood exit
- Yellow Vent Overflow to canister when tank is
filled (up to 2000 ml) - Blue Fill Fill Blood (Red tinted distilled
water) through this tube
6iStan Fluids
- GU Source
- Since there are only two fluid tanks in iStan
drop yellow food coloring into catheter bag. - When clear fluid hits fluid will turn yellow.
- ICP
- Find Grey and Orange Connectors and tubing in
inventory Kit - Push Clear fluid though Syringe
- 60-100 cc
- Do not fill past 100cc as bladder will stretch
and could burst
- IV Priming Source
- IV Priming Tube Left side of neck-fills IV Flash
Bladder. - Fill up to 150ml of distilled water.
- When resistance is noted stop filling as not
to stretch venous bladder. - When full bladder will give up to 50ml flash.
7Removing Fluids From iStan
- Connect Drain Bottle to Yellow Vent Tube
on side iStan - Pump sprayer until distilled water flows through
Blue Fill tube. - Repeat process until all colored water is removed
from simulator. - Remove excess fluid from Garden Sprayer or use
dry Garden Sprayer and pump air through lines to
remove excess moisture and lessen chances of mold
and blockages.
- ICP and IV Flash Bladder
- Use syringe to extract fluids from ICP and IV
Flash bladder. - Flush with Distilled water using syringe to pump
clear distilled water back into these sites. - Use syringe to extract fluids.
- Continue until all fluids have been removed,
leaving the bladders as dry as possible.
8iStan Power Information
- CO2 Cartridge
- Cartridge lasts only 24 minutes.
- Only use for first response strip to show
- that it is present.
- Using cartridge for full scenario is not
- beneficial.
- To get more CO2 hook-up time, hook
- Stan up to wall CO2
-
- Find Power Switch Left side just inside abdomen
- Lever moves Down for ON and Up for Off
- Turn on Mac Book and Connect to Simulator
- Recharging iStan
- Find power hookup near Power Switch in Left side
abdomen of simulator - Plug in Power Cord.
- Takes approximately four hours. (Best to charge
iStan fully before use)

Clicking then click small box labeled Tap
Trackpad using two fingers for secondary Click. - HPS Workstation comes with white mac mouse.
- Right Click On the Mac, simply click the ctrl
(Control) button and hold down while also
clicking on the rectangular button located below
the scroll-pad. - The Apple Button (on newer systems called Command
button) has replaced the CTRL button for the
regular PC keyboard. Example Copy is now Apple
ButtonC and Paste is now Apple ButtonV. - Scroll You can use both fingers on Track pad,
one to grab the page and the other to scroll the
page up or down.
10Tips and Tricks for iStan
- Latex The IV and refill tubing is made of
latex - Weight 125-130lbs
- Chest Tubes 26 Fr for old iStan and 36 for new
(be sure to check with Customer Support-they can
tell by the model ) - Voices Male and Female. Wave filed can be
loaded through jump drive. Students/faculty
fluent in other languages can use wireless
microphone to give ethnic voices from around the
world. - Positions Istan can sit in a wheelchair and be
pushed down the hall while running. He can lay
and has an articulated skeleton that enables
posing positions. - Making my simulation real Use your
imagination and use costumes, wigs, make-up, - shoes, clothes, toys cards, flowers,
magazines, remote control and TV, food tray,
Phone - etc
- Wireless Can walk up to 100ft away from
iStan and behind wall with iStan still accepting - wireless commands from system.
11More Tips and Tricks for iStan
- Fluid Linked Physiology When iStan bleeds his
blood losses will affect physiology like a human.
If more than one site is used at a time his
numbers will dramatically change. - Tourniquet application is recognized in the
system when done correctly. - Portability Can be transported by air, on
stretcher or lie in bed. Sits up in vehicle and
chair. - X-rays X-rays can be loaded onto jump drive and
dropped onto desktop of Instructor Workstation.
Simply open to simulate. - Compressor METI is in the process of replacing
older compressors. If your compressor runs
continuously call METI Customer Support. In the
meantime there are options to prevent this 1.
Hook up until to air compressor. Be sure to make
Customer Support aware so they can send the
proper conversion kit. 2. Lowering the
respiratory rate or blinking speed will take less
air. Refrain from pushing fluids from multiple
places at once. These steps will keep compressor
for running so often. - IV System Does not support Mass Casualty

12Defibrillation Can Dos for iStan
- Can Dos
- Use pads Directly on Skin
- Hands free cables found through Phillips, Zoll
and Lifepack. - Base time between defibrillation on ACLS Protocol
as iStan can get hot and is only a machine. - Monophasic and biphasic will be to calibrate your
unit to METIs with updated software (check with
customer support to see if you have updated
version)
13Defibrillation Cannot Dos for iStan
- Cannot Do
- If Pads are left directly on skin they will stick
and cause skin deterioration or may tear skin.
(remove as quickly as possible) - Can use Hands-Free however cannot use gel and
recommend not using sticky pads. They can ruin
skin. Hands-Free attachments (compatible with
iStan) available through METI sales rep and
customer support.
- Not recommended to use more than 3 times during 3
minutes (pads will dry out. Using a dry pad can
cause severe damage to internal components or
melt the skin
