Introduction
Introduction
This user guide describes the features, use, and care of the following training model: · CAE Blue Phantom Scrotal Ultrasound Training Model (BPS-801)
This model is intended as a platform for the practice of ultrasound scanning of the scrotum.
Anatomy
Ultrasound Training Model
CAE Blue Phantom training models are constructed using our patented SimulexTM ultrasound tissue which has imaging characteristics that mimic human tissue. The models contain skeletal components so the user will encounter the same imaging landmarks as in a human patient.
The scrotal ultrasound training model has two parts: the anatomical base and the scrotal ultrasound insert.
The internal anatomy of the insert includes:
· Left and right testicles · Epididymal head, body, and tail
Included pathologies are:
· Intratesticular masses · Epididymal mass · Hydrocele
The insert may degrade over time due to the nature of the anatomy and manufacturing needs for realism. Replacement inserts may be purchased online or from your account manager.

Care and Maintenance
Care and Maintenance
With proper care, your training model will remain in optimal condition and ready for use.
Storage and Transport
Follow these guidelines to properly store or transport your model: · Storage temperature degree range: 45 to 85 °F (7 to 29 °C) · Store the model in its included carrying case. · Do not store in contact with other models or hard objects as the pressure can damage the Simulex tissue. Do not stack multiple training models on top of each other. · When models with inserts are stored standing up for long periods of time, gravity may cause the insert to deform slightly. Remove the insert and let it sit for a few days to regain its shape. · Transport the model securely so it does not fall.
Cleaning
To maintain the product skin for the lifespan of the product, clean the exterior of the model after each use. Follow these steps:
1. Mix one cup of tap water with ¼ teaspoon of mild liquid soap (such as dish soap). 2. Gently clean the model’s exterior with the soap mixture and a soft, non-abrasive sponge or
cloth. 3. Rinse lightly with clean water. 4. Dab or pat with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth to dry the product after cleaning. Do not wipe or rub
the skin, which can damage it. 5. After the model has dried completely, lightly coat the external surface of the model with baby
powder and dust off any excess.
