What type of lubrication can be used during intubation practice?

We recommend TruCorp’s lubrication for best practice, but alternatives can be used provided they are water-soluble lubricants. Please do not use silicone-based products as they will degrade the materials.

Does the AirSim Difficult Airway require assembly?

No, this training manikin is delivered ready to use so you can begin training straight away! Generously spray the oral/nasal passages and equipment with the lubrication provided.

What equipment sizes are recommended?

Size 7.0-7.5mm ID for nasal intubation
Size 8.0-9.0mm ID for oral intubation
Size 3-5 for LMA laryngeal masks
Similar respective sizes for other supraglottic devices

Does the manikin provide user feedback to indicate successful or failed procedures?

Yes, if successfully intubated the two lung bags will inflate. If the airway device is incorrectly placed in the oesophagus, the stomach bag will inflate.

What can I use to clean the manikin?

Thoroughly wash the airway in warm water. Please use warm soapy water or similar until all visible foreign matter and residue is removed.

Mild detergents or enzymatic cleaning agents may be used on the airway at the proper dilution. The detergent must not contain skin or mucous membrane irritants.

Please do not use any of the following when cleaning the AirSim product range:
• Germicides, disinfectants or chemical agents such as glutaraldehyde (e.g. Cidex®)
• Ethylene oxide, phenol-based cleaners or iodine-containing cleaners

In response to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, we recommend this additional step to ensure the product is fully sanitized:

Generously spray alcohol spray or gel (minimum 75% alcohol) and wipe off. Repeat 3-4 times to fully disinfect the product. This can be done on the silicone skin and the latex airway.
