Prestan Manikin Compression Clicker Problems?

Need help with your manikin’s clicker? Let’s troubleshoot!

Recently, we’ve had a few calls from customers having Prestan Manikin compression clicker problems in the Prestan Professional Series manikins. In this blog, we’ll break down some of the possible causes and ways to fix the issue!

What’s a clicker?

First off, let’s explain the “clicker” and how it works. The clicker is part of the compression rate assembly located in the chest cavity of your Prestan Professional Series CPR manikin. When the user presses firmly enough to deliver the proper depth of compression for effective CPR, this mechanism will compress and recoil with a loud “click!”

AHA Student Workbooks – Did You Know?

Did you know the AHA Student Workbooks are only $2.50 each??? At the beginning of 2018, the American Heart Association reduced the price of the books in hopes of getting trainers to purchase more books and allow their students to take them home. 

Our customers have communicated that they often purchase books for their class then reuse them for additional classes. With the reduction of the Workbook cost, trainers are now able to purchase a new book for every student. This allows the trainee to take home the material and retain the information. If they wish to refresh their memory, they will have the AHA Workbook as a reference. 

The AHA Heartsaver First Aid/CPR/AED Student Workbooks are cost effective and a great way to keep the students engaged, even after they leave your training session. At $2.50 each, every student can now have this opportunity. 

As always, we have the AHA material in stock and ready to ship today with our FAST and FREE SHIPPING!

CPR Training Shields vs Valves- Pros and Cons

Handle big classes hygienically (without breaking the budget!)

CPR training uses a lot of “consumables.”  As an instructor, you know you have to replace training valves after each class, but do you know why? Today we’ll explain a little about how valves work, and compare pros and cons of valves vs CPR training shields. 

How it Works:

When students breathe into the valve,  it’s like blowing into a balloon: inflating and deflating (lung bags work just like balloons!).  Then, they pass the “balloon” to the next person. 

Within the valve stem is a gauze-like material that prevents fluids transferring between students during practice, preventing cross-contamination.

Prestan Discontinuing Light Skin Tone CPR Manikins

Manikin manufacturer responds to CPR market

Earlier this month we learned of Prestan discontinuing light skin tone CPR manikins. This decision includes adult, child, infant, single and 4 packs, collections, family packs and jaw-thrust manikins. Some light skin tone products will be available for a limited time.
Prestan Discontinuing Light Skin Tone Manikins Aug. 31, 2018.
Prestan’s decision to nix the light models is based on the greater popularity of medium and dark manikins, which look more realistic and are easier to keep clean. The change comes at a time when many CPR instructors are preparing for the 2019 AHA compliance updates.  Continue reading Prestan Discontinuing Light Skin Tone CPR Manikins
