Usage Of The Manikin - Ambu AmbuMan I Manual De Instrucciones

Smooth out the edges along the opening in the skull, see 5.5.
Hold the face piece by the ears and position on the skull so that the top is flush with the
hairline, see 5.6.
Pull face piece downwards by holding firmly by the ears until in position. 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 5.7.
5.4. Monitoring Instrument
Activate the instrument by depressing the catch. In case the instrument is not activated
(pulled out), no damage is done to the manikin nor to the instrument during chest
compression.
5.5. Carotid pulse ⑥
Fit the tube with bellows onto the tube connector.
The instructor can now activate the carotid pulse manually by compressing the bellows.
5.6. Adjusting chest stiffness ⑦
The stiffness of the chest can be adjusted as required by loosening the thumb screw on
the back of the manikin: For reduced stiffness set to 'LOW' position, for increased stiffness
set to 'HIGH' position.
The values shown, approximately 6 N/mm (0,6 kg/mm) and 11 N/mm (1,1 kg/mm), indicate
the force, which must be applied to compress the chest by 1 mm.
Example: Compressing the chest by 40 mm at the 'LOW' setting, a force of approximately
240 Newton (24 kg) must be applied.
The normal setting is 'MEDIUM' corresponding to approximately 8,5 N/mm (0,85 kg/mm).
5.7 Battery placement (only AmbuMan W) ⑧
The battery compartment is placed on the backside of the manikin. Depress the catch to
open (8.1) and remove the lid. Place the batteries inside the battery holders and close the lid.
NOTE: Take care that the batteries are place correctly in the battery holders and the
polarity is correctly.
5.8 Power supply (optional for AmbuMan W) ⑧
Optional the manikin can be powered using a universal external AC/DC adapter (output 9
V / 1,5 A) with a straight connection plug (5,5x2,1x12 mm). The connector can be
connected to the socket place inside the battery compartment, see 8.2.
