3. Functions

3.1 Hygienic System (see picture ①)
Schematic diagram:
The head bag has been mounted in the skull and the face piece fitted. Ventilation has just
started, see picture 1.1.
A: Trainee's air B: Ambient air
Ventilation is concluded and expiration has just started, see picture 1.2.
NOTE: If a leakage occurs around the mask or if insufflation proves difficult, it is normally
due to incorrect positioning when lifting the chin or to insufficient hyperextension of the
head.
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.
3.2. Compression indicator
The compression indicator shows the correct depth of the chest compression.
When compressing the chest of Ambu SAM the indicator will show a red bar until the
correct depth is reached. Once the correct depth is reached the indicator will change into
a green bar. If the compression is continued too deep the indicator will change back into a
red bar.
The compression indicator will show a green bar at a compression depth of 5cm to 6 cm.
