FACE‐SHIELD/LUNG‐BAG FOR THE VISIBLE CHEST RISE

• The Face‐Shield/Lung‐Bag (PP‐ALB‐10, PP‐ALB‐50) combines the Face Shield and the Lung Bag into a single, t‐shaped airway for the manikin. Air goes in through the Face‐Shield opening to inflate the Lung‐ Bag, which provides the visible chest rise in response to administered CPR breaths.
• Face‐Shield/Lung‐Bags are sized specifically to fit each Prestan Professional Manikin (Adult/Child/Infant) and are not interchangeable among the different manikin sizes.
• The Face‐Shield portion covers the mouth of the manikin. It stays in place by hooking the ends onto buttons located at each side of the head under the ears.
• The Lung‐Bag portion is placed on the manikin chest (under the torso skin) and fills with air from administered CPR breaths. This provides a visual chest rise for the student.
• Face‐Shield/Lung‐Bags are a consumable item and should be changed depending on how they are used:
  • If breaths are being administered by mouth, either directly or via rescue mask adaptor, the Face‐ Shield/Lung‐Bag should be changed between classes due to accumulation of bacteria‐causing moisture inside the neck and bag. This change is advised for both sanitary and performance purposes.
  • If breaths are being administered by a manual resuscitator (BVM/Ambu bag), there is no need to change the Face‐Shield/Lung‐Bag.
• When a manikin is being shared by more than one student, it is recommended that each student be provided with their own sanitary and disposable mouth protector:
  • If direct mouth contact is being used to give CPR breaths, students should be supplied with their own Face Shield (PP‐AFS‐50) (sold separately and disposable). The fitted Face Shield can be placed over the already‐installed Face‐Shield/Lung‐Bag on the mouth of the manikin when it is that student’s turn to give breaths. Generic, non‐fitted face shields may also be used, but may slide around on the mouth and possibly cover the mouth opening if not held in place.
  • If rescue masks are being used to give CPR breaths, students should be supplied with their own Rescue Mask Adaptor (10076‐PPA, 10076‐PPA‐50) (sold separately and disposable). The adaptors can be inserted into any standard mask when it is that student’s turn to give breaths.

CPR CLICKER

• The Clicker is the round disk in the center of the manikin’s back.
• The Clicker works with compressions to provide an audible “click” when compression depth reaches 2” (the compression is able to continue to a 2.4” depth).
• The Clicker sends a signal to the CPR Rate Monitor (if the manikin has this feature) to allow it to provide feedback on compression speed (see CPR Rate Monitor – Guide)
