DocumentDocumentDYSTOCIA CALF MODEL USER MANUAL 1025511, 1025514, 1025515, 1025531 DYSTOCIA CALF MODEL CARE, HANDLING AND MAINTENANCE Veterinary Simulator Industries has developed this dystocia calf model to aid in the instruction and demonstration of various dystocia positions and remedies. A great deal of research and testing has been involved in producing the most durable simulator with the greatest flexibility and most natural movement. However, in order to create a product that is a close biological mimic, VSI has employed a soft skin and articulated skeleton that require care and supervision in handling. The VSI dystocia calf model should be used only for table-top demonstration or with the compatible VSI dystocia cow model. In no instance should the calf model be used with any other manufacturer's simulators. VSI provides warranty for any manufacturer defects, but can`t provide protection against damage caused by misuse and unsupervised handling. The model is heavy, yet has a delicate nature and should be treated as such, similar to a real animal. Although a real calf may experience trauma and rough handling during its birth, it only needs to endure this procedure one time. Your calf may experience the birthing procedure several times a day. These simple instructions are intended to provide guidance and awareness that will help your VSI dystocia calf model last for years of use. We always recommend the VSI calf model be used only with a VSI bovine dystocia simulator model, or for table-top demonstration, and especially in conjunction with the VSI uterine bag, as other simulators may cause damage to the calf model. Loading the calf into the bag is a process greatly eased with the application of a moderate amount of lubricant. Although the calf model has been designed for instruction on chaining legs and pulling with jacks, it is not intended to be unduly strained in pulling, or to be dropped on to surfaces from any height. Mishandling in this way or any other way can cause damage to the skin, hooves, and skeleton. è NOTE: When used with VSI cow model and uterine bag, moderate amounts of water-based lubricants should be used on the calf model, inside the uterine bag and on the perineum panel to help create a realistic, slippery surface, and to limit resistance and friction that may cause damage to the soft skins. The floor mat provided with the VSI dystocia cow model should always be employed when there is potential danger of dropping the calf. Otherwise, a padded surface should be used in the event the calf is unduly released and is dropped. When demonstrating use of the head-snare, only the soft VSI support piece should be used, as other snares may cause damage. The calf model should never be carried by the tail or ears, as this may result in damage. The skin of the VSI calf model is composed of silicone, which can be difficult to repair with any materials other than the adhesives provided by, or silicone adhesives recommended by VSI. When gluing tears, first thoroughly clean the damaged area with rubbing alcohol, never with harsh chemicals or solvents. Allow the glue to set and cure for at least 16 hours before use. Tears should be repaired as soon as they appear, in order to prevent further tearing and to close any openings that allow access to the body cavity. For general cleaning, the entire calf model can be power washed or scrubbed with mild detergent and water and a soft cloth, but should not be immersed. If there are tears in the skin, care should be taken to avoid getting water inside the body. Repairs should be completed and cured before the model is given a general washing. 2 DYSTOCIA CALF MODEL | Care, Handling and Maintenance DYSTOCIA CALF MODEL The calf model is best stored in the VSI dystocia cow model, supported by the air-support system, as long as the chambers of the support system are properly inflated. Otherwise, the calf is best kept in the provided storage bag. If the calf is stored in any other way, a padded surface and covering should be used. The soft skin, combined with the weight of the calf, can be permanently impressed by resting on a hard surface for long periods of time. The skin of the calf has a somewhat tacky nature which tends to attract dirt and other particles, therefore should be covered when not in use. VSI continues research and development of techniques, design, and materials in an effort to improve all aspects our products, attempting to create the optimal educational and interactive tools. We invite feedback and suggestions in an ongoing collaborative effort between our manufacturing industry and our end-use clientele. WARRANTY, CARE AND USE VSI has invested significant time, energy, and resources into the design and development of this model. Real-world usage over an extended period has helped us determine its functionality, durability, and requirements. We have crafted pricing, purchasing, and warranty guidelines to best serve both VSI and our end-user clients, aiding in informed purchasing decisions. The dystocia calf and cow model were designed with specific parameters in mind, based on available technology and consultation with professional collaborators, including veterinary educators and practitioners. While the models have been used beyond these parameters in terms of frequency, environment, supervision, and expectations, attempts to adjust the design to accommodate broader use have often pushed them beyond their intended limitations. The dystocia models are intended to demonstrate in-utero mal-presentation and subsequent manipulation to properly present the calf for extraction, under the guidance and supervision of qualified instructors. Extraction should be minimized to reduce strain and the risk of damage. When extracting the calf, it should be gently lowered to prevent damage, and a soft drop-mat should always be in place to cushion accidental drops. These models are not intended for public demonstration unless all guidelines can be followed. They are heavy yet delicate and should be treated accordingly. Although a real calf may experience trauma and rough handling during its birth, it only needs to endure this procedure one time. Your calf may experience the birthing procedure several times a day. With proper care, clients have extracted the calf over 1000 times without major issues, but a single instance of mishandling can cause irreversible damage. Detailed instructions on use, care, and maintenance are included with the models to ensure their longevity in educational environments, but common sense and good judgment are paramount. VSI provides a 1-year warranty from the date of purchase for any manufacturer defects. This warranty does not cover damage caused by misuse, unsupervised handling, or defects that appear after the 1-year period. However, after the warranty period, the calf may still be repaired and refurbished by VSI for a fee plus applicable shipping charges. We value the input, dedication, and collaboration of our educational partners in the continued development, improvement, and use of VSI simulation models. Practical models are essential to modern didactic systems, and we rely on the understanding and cooperation of professionals who utilize them in their programs.
