5. Preparation for training

The 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 as a full body model, the legs will be in a separate carry bag.
5.1. Carry bag/training mat ③
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.
5.2. Mounting the legs on the torso ④
Pull down the trousers a little around the hips. Place the legs in a position so that the 2
dowels on the hip part can slide into the corresponding dents at the bottom of the
manikin's body, see 4.1.
Press the two Velcro straps firmly to the body, see 4.2.
To remove legs pull off the Velcro straps and the legs will be disengaged.
5.3. Mounting the head bag and face piece ⑤
Unfold the head bag and hold as shown, see 5.1.
Holding the ring of the bag, fold together as shown on the photos, see 5.2 and 5.3.
Insert bag in the head, see 5.4.
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 Wireless) ⑧
The battery compartment is placed on the backside of the manikin. Depress the catch to
open (8.1) and remove the battery pack.
NOTE: Take care that the battey pack is place correctly in the battery compartment.
5.8. Power supply (only AmbuMan Wireless) ⑧
The manikin can be powered using a universal external AC/DC adapter (output 12 V / 2,0 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.

6. Usage of the manikin

The patented hygienic system of the Ambu enables the trainee to get a realistic feeling for
performing ventilation.
