Rules for using and storing manikin lubricant
The lubricant is not applied directly to the Manikin Airway. Each time, apply it to the devices used for intubation, and only then insert them into the manikin's airway. Guidance on inserting devices with the lubricant can be found in the user manual supplied with each manikin. Store the product in a dry, cool, tightly closed place.
If you also practise resuscitation on the same manikin, refresh the principles from the article Basic life support: CPR.
