About the Simulator
This manual is to familiarize the user with the function, care and
maintenance of the manikin. Please read thoroughly before attempting
use of your manikin.
FEATURES:
Your manikin is designed to assist in the training and
practice of CPR.
VENTILATION:
The lung will inflate and the chest will rise when
mouth-to-mouth, bag-valve-mask or mechanical ventilation is properly
performed.
EXTERNAL CARDIAC COMPRESSION:
The manikins feature the
important anatomical landmarks necessary to effectively teach and
practice external cardiac compression.
These include the rib cage, jugular notch, sternum and the xiphoid
process. Pressure on the chest will depress the “heart” and may be
monitored by using manikins with the ELECTRONIC CONSOLE.
PREPARATION FOR USE:
Basic manikin (without electronic console) is
essentially ready for use directly out of the carton.
NOTE:
If manikin is stored in low temperatures allow it to warm up to
room temperature before using.
TO FILL WITH AIR:
The manikin may deflate during shipment or over
time. To re-inflate the manikin:
1. Slip the tubing from the black air pump bulb over the metal
valve on the manikin’s foot.
2. Turn the metal valve counterclockwise to open.
3. Pump bulb until desired firmness is reached.
4. Turn valve clockwise to reseal.
5. Remove pump bulb assembly.
CAUTION:
Do not overinflate; may cause a malfunction of the switching
mechanism in the electronic models and difficulty in compression
on all models. Repair or replacement costs due to damage by over
inflation are not covered by warranty.
NOTE:
DO NOT OVERINFLATE. A good indicator of proper inflation in
the TIMMY model is to place the manikin on a table and depress the
leg at the knee with the heel of your hand.
Proper inflation will cause the manikin’s heel to rise from the tabletop
approximately 1 ½ to 2”. If less than 1 ½ “more air is needed. If more than
2” air must be expelled.
