Frequently Asked Questions

Can you use a Pocket Mask with a BVM on the new PRESTAN Professional Manikin?

You can use either a Pocket Mask alone or a Pocket Mask with a BVM on the PRESTAN Professional Manikin.

How do you replace the batteries?

The compartment for the batteries is in the CPR rate monitor, located on the upper left side of the back of the manikin. Once the batteries are replaced, the lid is easily re-inserted by lining up the two tabs on the top of the compartment and pushing the lid into place.

Is it too hard to do compressions on my Infant Manikin with 2 fingers. How can I adjust this?

We strive to make the PRESTAN Professional Infant Manikins as similar to real-life as possible for CPR purposes. The density of the chest foam used for our manikins will vary slightly as it would with a real infant. If you are experiencing difficulties with two-finger compressions, you may want to consider the two-thumb method.

How do I change the batteries in the Infant Manikin?

The batteries power the CPR Rate Monitor, which is located under the cover on the front of the diaper area. Use a flathead screwdriver in the slots on the sides of the cover to easily wedge/pop it out. Then slide out the monitor. The battery replacement door is marked on the monitor and takes 2 AA batteries.

The CPR Rate Monitor lights on my adult/child manikin are not working properly.

There are a few things to check when your monitor lights are malfunctioning:

1. Make sure you are compressing fully, you should hear the clicker when fully compressed.
2. Ensure two AA batteries are installed in the battery compartment behind the left shoulder of the manikin. Replace batteries and recheck
3. The clicker, which drives the monitor lights, may be malfunctioning. Contact your distributor for a replacement clicker.

The diaper area of my Infant Manikin bubbles up when I give compressions.

Remove the diaper section and tuck in all skin sections. Reattach the diaper section pushing down on he unit as much as possible and continue holding down while screwing in the screws.

How do you replace the batteries?

The compartment for the batteries is located under the “diaper area” of the manikin. Open the cover the to the CPR Rate Monitor by using a small flat-edged screwdriver in the slots on sides and gently lifting. Remove the CPR Rate Monitor unit from the well. Squeeze the tabbed area to open the battery compartment and replace the batteries. Once the batteries are replaced, snap the lid back into place, return the CPR Rate Monitor unit to the well and snap the diaper cover back into place.
