How It Is Used

The computer is connected to the manikin via a USB cable.

You start the software and login either to a practice session (no registration required) or you can login and register a person's name.

Next you select a skill that you want to practice or test. You have a selection of chest compressions, ventilations, or CPR skills. There are several options within each skill. Click the skill you wish to perform.

As you perform a skill on the manikin, the software will show you a colored bar on the computer screen. There are 4 basic colors. Bright Green means you are performing correctly; dark green means it is close and one parameter is not quite correct; orange means it is too fast and red means it is too slow. See more on colors here.

With a quick glance at the color of the bar, you can quickly adjust the parameter required. Alternatively a trainer may use the colors to coach you.

As soon as the skill is completed, the computer will provide you with an overall score and you can review your performance. Also if desired, you can access detail on particular parameters of your performance.
