TruBaby X Advanced Pediatric Skills and Emergency Trainer

What makes TruCorp's airway manikins so unique?

This ensures greater tactile accuracy, helping users develop critical airway management skills with confidence.

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 TruBaby X require assembly?

No, this training manikin is delivered with all parts attached. You will simply need to fill the fluid system. Please refer to the user manual for instructions on how to fill the fluid system. For airway management training, generously spray the oral/nasal passages and equipment with the lubrication provided.

What warranty comes with the TruBaby X?

My TruBaby X manikin needs repairing. How can I arrange this?

Please contact us and provide the serial number (found under the neck skin of the manikin) and an image/video of the issue. If it meets the warranty conditions TruCorp will repair free of charge. If the warranty has expired, our sales team will provide a quote for repair.

How should I store the manikin when it is not in use?

Please store the manikin in clean, dry conditions away from heat and direct sunlight. Avoid contact with metals, solvents, oils or greases and strong detergents. When the product is not in use please store in the black carrier case provided.

What can I use to clean the manikin?

Thoroughly wash the AirSim® 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.

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.

We recommend a frequent deep clean of the internal fluid systems to prevent mould and fungal build-up. A sterilizing product such as Milton Sterilizing Fluid is sufficient.
