Introduction
The Resusci Anne Simulator offers a variety of capabilities within basic and intermediate
life support training for healthcare providers. The most significant capability is that of
training in teams to improve teamwork and problem resolution skills.
Each Resusci Anne Simulator model simulates a female adult of average physiology, and is
designed to meeting the core learning objectives of those individuals that train in all areas
of Basic healthcare to include CPR, defibrillation, base-line vital signs recognition and basic
to intermediate (supraglottic) airway management procedures.
Cautions and warnings
• There are electronic components mounted inside the simulator’s airway management
head. The following techniques should not be performed on this simulator due to the
inability to properly sanitize the airway if they are performed:
1. Mouth-to-mouth/Mouth-to-mask ventilation
2. Insertion of simulated vomit for suctioning
• Lubricate the oral and nasal airways liberally with the lubricant provided prior to
inserting any instrument or tube into the airway. Additionally, instruments and tubes
should also be lubricated prior to use.
• Do not allow the manikin's skin to come in direct contact with ink or photocopied
paper, as this can permanently stain the skin. Avoid using colored plastic gloves when
handling the manikin, as they may also cause discoloration.
• Care should be taken when palpating the pulses to not use excessive force as this will
result in no pulse being felt. Only two individual pulses can be felt at the same time.
• When the Resusci Anne Simulator is in the “Off” status the airway will remain open. If
the simulator is turned off while the closure valve is in the closed position it will open
automatically when the simulator is turned off.
• To avoid damaging the spontaneous breathing bladder, do not perform chest
compressions while the spontaneous breathing function is activated.
• If a training session involves the administration of fluids and/or drugs into the IV arm,
empty the arm immediately following the training session.
• Defibrillation
• Only apply the defibrillator to a defibrillation chest skin which is properly mounted on
the manikin's chest.
• Do not provide more than 2 x 360J defibrillator discharges per minute as an average
over a period of time to prevent overheating.
• The manikin chest must be kept dry. Special attention should be taken when using
IV Arm.
• Do not apply conductive gel or conductive defibrillation pads intended for patient use
to prevent chest skin pitting.
• Do not use cables or connectors with visible damage.
• Observe all normal safety precautions for use of defibrillators.
• Defibrillation must be performed over the two defibrillation connectors only.
• Electromagnetic radiation from other radio transmitters or other electronic equipment
may cause noise in the head speaker. To eliminate this noise move manikin away
from the radiation source or turn the head speaker volume to zero.

Getting started with Resusci Anne Simulator
Airway Head
1. Head Tilt and Chin lift: Head tilt and chin lift can be performed on the head. If the
head tilt is performed, and airway obstruction is not activated, the airway valve will be
open allowing air passage to the lungs
2. Jaw Thrust: The jaw thrust maneuver can be performed on the head. If the jaw thrust
is performed, and airway obstruction is not activated, the airway valve will be open
allowing air passage to the lungs
3. Ventilation
The airway is designed to accept a broad range of airway management devices. Some
examples are:
• Oral and Nasal airways (OPA and NPA)
• Bag-Valve-Mask ventilation (BVM)
• Combitube
• Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA)
• Laryngeal Tube Airway (LTA)
Lubricate the oral and nasal airways liberally with the lubricant provided prior to
inserting any instrument or tube into the airway. Additionally, instruments and tubes
should also be lubricated prior to use.
Note: There are electronic components mounted inside the simulator’s airway
management head. The following techniques should not be performed on this
simulator due to the inability to properly sanitize the airway if they are performed:
Mouth-to-mouth/Mouth-to-mask ventilation
Insertion of simulated vomit for suctioning
4. Speaker for voice transmission: When the simulator is “On” a speaker located
inside the airway head can produce pre-recorded voice transmission via remote
control. Live voice transmission can also be achieved by use of a microphone when
connected to the simulator’s torso.
Note: External microphone not supplied by Laerdal
5. Pupils: The simulator is delivered with a set of eyes containing normal pupils mounted
in the head. A separate case contains 3 sets of plastic eye inserts (normal, constricted
and dilated pupils) for use in simulating other conditions.
6. Cricoid Cartilage: A realistic cricoid cartilage is attached to the airway underneath the
face skin allowing the technique of cricoid pressure (Sellick Maneuver) to be
performed.
7. Carotid pulses: When the simulator is “On” palpable carotid pulses, synchronous to
the simulated ECG, are generated.
Note: Care should be taken when palpating the carotid pulse to not use excessive
force as this will result in no pulse being felt.
8. Airway Obstruction: An airway obstruction can be activated from the remote control.
This feature simulates a complete blockage of the airways by shutting the airway
closure valve that controls air passage to the lung. The Resusci Anne Simulator is
2004-10-08 7
delivered with a default setting of “Manual” mode and means that the airway closing
valve is always in the open position. It may be manually closed with the use of the
remote control. Two other automatic settings can be selected via the remote control
to drive the airway obstruction feature. See later section titled “Set Airway Obstuction
(Open /Closed) Mode” found under Remote Conrol for more detail.
Note: When the Resusci Anne Simulator is “Off” the airway will remain open. If the
simulator is turned off while the closure valve is in the closed position it will open
automatically when the simulator is turned off.
9. Lung: The simulator is equipped with one disposable unilateral lung that attaches to
the airway.
Torso
1. Spontaneous breathing: The simulator is equipped with a self-contained compressed
air container located inside the pelvis of the torso. A tube from the air container is
connected to a small bladder located under the lung. This bladder provides the
spontaneous chest rise and fall
• When the simulator is “On” the spontaneous breathing feature can be
manipulated by the remote control.
• Spontaneous breathing fill valve is built into the right side of the simulator.
The manual pump provided with the simulator can be used to fill the
compressed air container on an as-needed basis.
Note: See Maintenance section titled “Fillingthe spontaneous breathing air container” for
details on this feature
2. Chest compressions: The simulator demonstrates the correct anatomical landmarks
for external chest compressions. Chest compressions may be performed without the
risk of damage to the simulator’s spontaneous breathing bladder as long as
spontaneous breathing is not activated.
Note: To avoid damaging the spontaneous breathing bladder, do not perform chest
compressions while the spontaneous breathing function is activated.
3. Defibrillation: The simulator is equipped with two defibrillation connectors and four
lead connectors for use with AEDs or manual defibrillators. The ECG signal can also be
2004-10-08 8
2004-10-08 9
monitored across these connectors. Using the remote control, the instructor can select
the “ignore defib” function to control whether or not the defibrillation shall result in
conversion to a perfusing rhythm. Paddle adapters are supplied for use with manual
defibrillators.

Maintenance
Preventive maintenance is the best method of ensuring long and trouble free operation. A
general inspection should be conducted at regular intervals.
Periodic cleaning
Periodically wash all skin parts that are not regularly sanitized during and after each class,
using warm soapy water or Virkon.
Outer skin and moulded hair
Most stains can be removed using warm soapy water, Virkon or Manikin Wipes (ethanol).
However, the older the stains are, the more difficult they are to remove. Nonabrasive
household cleaners that are safe for plastics may produce desirable results. It is wise to
test other cleaning agents on a non-critical area, e.g., under the chest cover, before
general use. Note that pigments from lipstick and ballpoint pens quickly travel into the
plastic skin. Such stains may be impossible to remove.
Clothes
Hand or machine wash with soap or laundry detergent in warm water, max. 40°C (100°F).
Iron with warm iron. May be dry cleaned. Please note that hot air dryer may cause
garment shrinkage.
Changing the pupils
The simulator is delivered with a set of eyes containing normal pupils mounted in the
head. A separate case contains 3 sets of plastic eye inserts (normal, constricted and
dilated pupils) for use in simulating other conditions. To change the pupils in the airway
head:
1. Remove the hair from the airway head by pulling back on the hair piece.
2. Detach the top of the face skin and fold back until the eyes are exposed.
3. With a thin blunt object, for example a screw driver, place the tip into the groove
under the eye insert, and pull up to detach the eye from the skull
4. To insert the new eye position it in eye hole of the scull and press in until it snaps into
place.
5. Reattach face and hair by reversing points 1 & 2 above
Attaching the Airway Head
In the event that the airway head needs to be removed or re-attached to the simulator’s
torso perform the following:
1. Detach the simulator’s chest skin by pulling the skin away from the tabs
2. Carefully lay the skin to the side being careful not to apply excessive force to the cable
attachments

3. Position the head, airway and cables into the torso’s head opening with the head in the
downward position.
4. Insert the airway and cables through the opening.
5. Press head firmly towards torso, making sure the anchoring tab is sufficiently inserted
to the opening.
6. Twist the head into the upright, or proper, position.
7. Attach esophagus to the stomach by connecting the stomach valve to the esophagus.
8. Attach the airway to the lung by connecting the corrugated airway tubing to the plastic
connector coming out of the airway closure.
(this picture is wrong!! Need connector piece no. 832 to show in picture!)

Changing the lung
1. Detach the chest skin.
2. Detach the tubing from the airway closure valve located under the chest compression
plate.
3. Pull the lung off the compression plate.
4. Attach the new lung.
5. Reattach the chest skin.
Changing the Stomach
1. Detach the chest skin.
2. Take away the stomach bladder by lifting the simulated stomach bladder from the
torso. Undo the stomach bladder from the “feet” of the stomach pouch and detach
the tubing from stomach valve.
Picture showing this procedure
3. Attach the new stomach bladder.
4. Reattach the chest skin.
Changing Spontaneous Breathing bladder
1. Detach chest skin.
2. Detach lung from chest compression plate (it is not necessary to detach any
tubing).
3. Detach spontaneous breathing bladder.
4. Attach new spontaneous breathing bladder.
5. Reattach lung to chest compression plate.
6. Reattach chest skin.
Filling the spontaneous breathing air container
Note: This simulator comes with a manual air pump to fill the spontaneous
breathing air container. This allows utilization of the system without the need for
an external power source. The user may choose to purchase an electrical or
battery operated air pump for this operation.
Manual Air Pump (provided with simulator)
1. Attach manual air pump hose to spontaneous breathing fill valve located at the side
of the simulator torso.
Needs picture to show this
2. Fill the air container by pumping the air pump.
Note: Do not to exceed 10 bar (145 psi). A pressure relief valve is included in the
air tank and will be activated at pressure above 10 bar (145 psi). This valve has a
built-in reset mechanism.
3. Detach air pump from spontaneous breathing fill valve
Changing simulator batteries
When replacing worn out batteries, replace them with eight D-cell alkaline batteries.
To replace batteries:
1. Detach chest skin.
2. Open the battery cover.
3. Remove and discard old batteries.
4. Replace new batteries as indicated on battery cover.
5. Align battery cover with grooves in battery compartment.
6. Reattach chest skin.

Connecting external microphone (not supplied by Laerdal)
1. Detach chest skin.
2. Carefully lift chest compression plate away from the compression spring and gently
lay to the side being careful not to detach any wires.
3. Locate the external microphone jack on the simulator’s main circuit board.
4. Plug external microphone into this jack.
5. Reattach chest skin.
Connecting PC
1. Locate the USB connector in the cable bundle on the right side of the torso.
2. Plug in USB cable to this connector.
Connecting AC power supply
1. Locate the AC power connector in the cable bundle at the right side of the torso.
2. Plug in AC adapter cable to this connector.
3. Plug in wall adapter to wall outlet (110 – 240V AC).
Attach the BP Arm
1. Detach chest skin
2. Carefully lift chest compression plate away from the compression spring and gently
lay to the side being careful not to detach any wires
3. Place BP Arm and cable into the arm hole of the simulator’s torso
4. Connect the arm via the bolt by “clicking” it into place making sure the grooves on
the bolt fit properly to the hole on the torso.
5. Plug in the wire from the BP Arm to the wire that extends out from circuit board’s
BP jack.
6. Reattach chest skin
Connecting the IV Arm
Connect the IV Arm via the bolt by “clicking” it into place making sure the grooves on the
bolt fit properly to the hole on the torso.
Proper care of IV Arm
IV Arm – Multiple Venipuncture sites:
• Dorsal Veins of Hand (3)
• Antecubital
- Cephalic Vein
- Median Vein
- Basilic Vein
1. Attach IV bag to IV tubing.
2. Attach IV tubing to either vein.
3. Allow fluid to flow through arm and out other vein.
2004-10-08 34
4. Clamp off flow of water from open vein.
The arm is now ready to practice venipuncture.
A 22 gauge needle or smaller is recommended to extend the life of the IV Arm.
When using an IV catheter, lubricate with manikin lubricant for easier insertion.
When excessive leaking occurs at puncture sites, either a new vein system or skin should
be installed to reduce loss of fluid.
We recommend working at a sink when replacing the skin and vein system.
Replacing Skin and Veins:
If replacing both skin and veins, cut off skin.
This can be done with a sharp knife, scalpel or
scissors. When finished, discard skin.
Replacing veins: (Keeping skin)
1. Lubricate inside of skin with liquid
detergent; let it flow down into the finger area.
2. Begin at top of arm and slowly pull skin down and off of arm. Do not roll, as that
will cause skin to bind.
3. Remove tubing from track in mandrel. Glue may need to be scraped away to allow
removal.
4. Rinse and dry vein grooves well and swab with alcohol. Be sure to remove any
excess glue.
5. Place new veins along grooves, spot
gluing as needed. (We recommend
fast-drying glue.)
6. Generously lather arm mandrel with
liquid soap.
7. Slide hand into skin.
8. Work skin over fingers, as with a glove.
9. Work arm skin up, over mandrel.
Heat arms skins before replacing on mandrel. This can be done with a blow-dryer.
Troubleshooting
If an error message appears on the remote control stating “no reception”, make sure that
the simulator is turned on.
If spontaneous breathing is activated and no chest rise is observed, make sure that there
is enough air in the air container. Check also that the breathing bladder has no leakage.
