NOTE: If a leakage occurs around the mask or if insufflation proves difficult, it is normally due
To comply with the requirements of the hygienic system, and to achieve a proper seal and
accurate measuring results, a head bag must always be used.
All trainees must use their own face piece and head bag only during training.
4.2. Monitoring instrument ②
To pull out the monitoring instrument depress the catch (2.1) and let the instrument slide out.
Readings on the monitoring instrument can be viewed from two sides. By activating the
cover plate on the side facing the trainee, instrument readings can be concealed from
trainees undergoing a CPR test (2.2), while allowing the training instructor to monitor the
effectiveness of the CPR on the opposite side.
The monitoring instrument is divided into two halves. The left-hand side registers
ventilation, including inspiration volume (2.3), and provides indication of stomach inflation
(2.4). The right-hand side of the instrument registers chest compression, including depth of
compression in millimetres (2.5), and provides indication of incorrect hand positioning (2.6).
The gauges for insufflated volume and depth of compression are designed to display
green when the correct volume and chest compression have been reached, and red when
the measurement recorded is outside the correct range.
If the display is green and red the measurement is at the borderline of the correct range.
The instrument registers inflation in the stomach (2.4) and incorrect hand positioning (2.6)
by changing from black to red colour display.
The values on the scale plates on the monitoring instrument are in accordance with the
actual guidelines for resuscitation. It is possible to order instrument plates with other
recommendations or guidelines.
4.2.1 USB connector (only AmbuMan W) ②
To connect the manikin to a computer use the USB-Plug (2.7), which is placed on the left
side of the monitoring instrument. The orange LED (2.8) is active when the USB
connection has been established.
4.2.2 Power button (only AmbuMan W) ②
To turn on the manikin for the use of the CPR-Software press the power button (2.9) on
the right side of the monitoring instrument. The green LED (2.10) is flashing while the
system is booting and is steady activated once the system is completely powered up.
When the manikin is power by batteries and the power is drained to a point where
which indicates that the batteries needs to be replaced.
