The monitoring instrument is divided into two halves. The left-hand
side registers ventilation, including inspiration volume (4.1), and pro-
vides indication of stomach inflation (4.2). The right-hand side of the
instrument registers chest compression, including depth of compres-
sion in millimetres (4.3), and provides indication of incorrect hand posi-
tioning (4.4).
The gauges for insufflated volume and depth of compression are
designed to display green when the correct volume and chest compres-
sion have been reached, and red when the measurement recorded is
outside the correct range.
All Ambu training manikins and training products comply with the
ILCOR* “Guidelines 2000”. Member organizations of ILCOR are AHA,
ARC, ERC, HSFC, CLAR, NZRC and RCSA.
Your new Ambu Man has an insufflation volume between 0,7 – 1,0
litres and a depth of compression during chest compression between
40-50 mm for adults.
It is possible to order instrument plates with other recommendations.
The instrument registers inflation in the stomach (4.2) and incorrect
hand positioning (4.4) by changing from black to red colour display.
6. Preparation for training
The Ambu Man training manikin is normally supplied in a special carry
bag which, when opened, folds out to provide a mat for the trainee
during training.
When supplying the Ambu Man as a full body model, the legs will be
in a separate carry bag.
6.1. Carry bag/training mat
The strong bag which gives excellent protection to the Ambu Man dur-
ing transportation can also contain a number of spare face pieces and
head bags, see
T
.
Unfold the bag. Make sure that the manikin is firmly secured to the
training mat by inserting the fitting on the training mat into the recess
high up on the back of the manikin, see
Y
.
6.2. Mounting the legs on the torso
Unpack the legs.
During transportation the legs can be folded, thus taking up a mini-
mum of space, see
U
.
Assembly of legs:
Pull down the trousers a little around the hips. Place the legs in a posi-
tion so that the 2 dowels on the hip part can slide into the correspond-
ing dents at the bottom of the Ambu Man body, see
I
.
Press the two Velcro straps firmly to the bod, see
O
.
To remove legs: Pull off the Velcro straps and the legs will be disengaged.

.
Hold the face piece by the ears and position on the skull so that the
top is flush with the hairline, see
e
.
Pull face piece downwards by holding firmly by the ears until in posi-
tion. Make sure that the edges of the mask are located under the hair
at the temples. Fix the openings at the back of the ears on the fixing
prongs on each side of the skull, see
