Unpacking and assembly

Repacking after use

If the manikin is stored in the carrying case it is necessary to assemble the manikin before use. Place the torso on a firm surface. Pull out the hip bolt. Push the two legs into their seats. Fasten legs to the body by inserting the hip bolt through the opening in the body shell, through the holes in the thighs and out through body shell opening on the opposite side. Press the bolt into its seat to avoid loosening it by accident. Put the shorts and jacket on the manikin.

If the manikin has been used in water, see instructions in the section on “Water rescue” page 6. To store in hard case If the SkillGuide is attached, unplug the cable and store the SkillGuide in the soft pouch. Take off the shorts. Detach the legs from the body in the following way: Extract the hip bolt as follows: • Exert pressure on the protruding end of the bolt. Continue to push to get the hip bolt further out • Grasp and pull out the hip bolt

Training mat All versions of Resusci Junior contain a training mat.This has two purposes: • Comfort and convenience for students and instructors when practicing BLS skills on the Resusci Junior. • Movement of the assembled Resusci Junior around the classroom / training venue

When the legs have been removed, press the bolt into its seat to avoid loosening it by accident. Put the torso in the case, face up. Place a leg on each side of the manikin. Remove dirt from the training mat by wiping it with a damp cloth. Put the training mat into the plastic bag provided, and place on top of the manikin.This will prevent dirt from the training mat getting on the manikin.

To use in water If the manikin is to be used for training in water, see the section on “Water rescue” page 6. Manikin with SkillGuide If you have purchased the Resusci Junior with SkillGuide: • Remove the SkillGuide protective cover. • Plug the SkillGuide cable into the connector on the right side of the manikin. • Remove the paper tab coming from the battery compartment on the back of the SkillGuide. • Press the “ON” button to begin practice. • When transporting the manikin using the training mat it is recommended that the SkillGuide be unplugged and moved separately.

SkillGuide

To use See Unpacking page 3. The SkillGuide will turn “OFF” automatically if no activity takes place for 5 minutes.

Consistent and objective feedback on performance during practice helps develop and reinforce skills.The SkillGuide provides feedback to the instructor and student to support the student’s initial skill development by means of a colour light display.

Note: if the SkillGuide is turned “ON” and the red signal light for wrong hand position comes on the SkillGuide is not completely plugged into the manikin.

Inflation When lung inflation volume reaches 200 ml the green signal light will be activated. If lung inflation volume exceeds 300 ml, an orange warning light is activated. A red warning light indicates an inflation that is too rapid.

Power supply The four 1.5V alkaline batteries, size C, will provide approximately 125 hours of classroom use.This will vary depending on user patterns and the type of batteries.

Chest compression When the breast bone area of the chest is depressed by a minimum of 38mm, the green signal light is activated.

Connection cable This is permanently connected to the SkillGuide and has an 8 pin male connector which is to be connected to the manikin.The connector has been moulded for proper orientation prior to plugging it into the manikin’s side.

Incorrect hand position The sensor is located under the switch cover mounted on the chest plate.The red warning light will be activated if the chest is compressed with hands placed outside the recommended area. Providing the downward pressure is exerted on the lower half of the sternum the red light will not activate. However, if downward pressure is exerted on the xiphoid sternum, on the upper half of the sternum or on the chest wall away from the sternum the red light will activate.

Caution Make sure the SkillGuide is unplugged from manikin: • When airway is changed, or • When internal service is carried out.

Water rescue The Resusci Junior manikin is designed for training in water resuscitation and rescue techniques. If you have purchased a water-rescue version of the Resusci Junior it is ready to use. An optional Water Rescue Kit (184010) is available to make the manikin simulate, a semi-submerged floating, unconscious victim, or a victim that will sink to the bottom of the pool. The manikin may be used in salt or fresh water.

30°

When the manikin is in the water, you can open the tube to evacuate air until the position is correct, i.e. the angle between the water and body is 30°.

Note: After use, the floatation device is deflated by attaching the deflation side of the pump to the tubing and squeezing. When all the air is removed from the floatation device, the pump bulb will not recover from your squeeze. At this point, remove the pump bulb and replace the stopper plug.

Caution: The SkillGuide version of Resusci Junior must not be used for water rescue. Installing the Water Rescue Kit (184010) Mount the floatation device as follows:

Repacking after use After use in water, the manikin should be well dried before being returned to storage. Removing the manikin from the water by the arms will help the manikin drain quickly. To further promote gravity drainage, prop the manikin upright for a few minutes. Use a cloth to dry the exterior and interior of the manikin.

Unbutton the chest skin and lift out the chest and lung plate assembly. Place the floatation device underneath the lung plate over the compression cylinder. Push the tubing out through the manikin’s side.

The following exemplifies uses of the Resusci Junior manikin in water rescue training programs and lifesaving competition events.

Mount the weights as follows:

In-water resuscitation Rescue breathing may be practised while the manikin is in the water.

Undo the four screws of each thigh. Place the weight over the upper cylinder piece, one weight in each thigh. Reassemble the thigh.

Using Resusci Junior for water rescue Now the Water Rescue Kit has been installed, the device can be inflated or deflated without any disassembly of the manikin.

Recognition of drowning When the floatation device has been inflated, the manikin will float face down, semi-submerged in the water. This is a position typical of an unconscious person.

Preparing to float: Attach the inflation side of the pump bulb to the tubing and squeeze. It requires about 18-22 full squeezes of the pump to inflate the device. Pinch the tubing, remove the pump bulb, and insert the stopper plug. 6

Surfacing and towing

When the floatation is not used, the manikin will sink. Thus, the manikin can be used for training rescue diving and surfacing as well as realistic towing and landing techniques. If the manikin is dropped on its back it will normally turn over, and sink face down to the bottom. Water is allowed to enter through the neck opening and through special holes in the trunk and extremities. Caution: Make sure the Resusci Junior manikin is not unintentionally released in deep water without the floatation device in place. The manikin will sink to the bottom, which might cause inconvenient rescue operations.
