1. Introduction
The Ambu MultiMan comprises of four instruction and training manikins for simulating realistic and
correct anatomical and physiological conditions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation by means of
insufflation and chest compression.
The Ambu MultiMan incorporates the well-known Ambu hygienic system similar to Ambu’s other
training manikins and an indicator for compression depth during chest compression.
For easy and compact transport, the Ambu MultiMan is designed as a four manikin unit folded up
in two two-torso units.
The Ambu MultiMan has the size of an average adult. The fold-out design of two or four units
encourages the instruction of a large number of trainees due to its simplicity and easy transport.
When a number of Ambu MultiMan are in use, we recommend the addition of an Ambu Man
with instrumentation or with computer interface. In this way extensive hands-on training can be
performed on the Ambu MultiMan before a test is made on the Ambu Man showing the result of
various parameters.

Materials
Part Material
Skull PP, Polypropylene
Face piece PVC, soft
Head bag PE, Polyethylene
Neck PPN, Polypropylene
Chest sheild LDPE, Polyethylne, soft
Lung bag PVC
Lung plate PPR, Polypropylene
Basic unit PPN, Polypropylene
Console PPN, Polypropylene
3. Function
When air is blown into the mouth or nose of the face piece (1), the head bag (2) fills, displacing the
air in the skull (3) through the valve (4) which only opens if the head is tilted.
The ambient air is displaced through the neck tube (5) down into the lung bag (6), which expands
and raises the chest (7).
When the chest compression is performed, the chest and the spring (8) are squeezed together. The
movements during chest compression are transmitted mechanically to the instrument at the waist
(9) which has a green indicator for correct compression depth and a red for incorrect compression
depth.

4. Hygienic System
Schematic diagram
The head bag has been mounted in the skull and the face piece applied.
Insufflation has just started.
Insufflation is concluded and expiration has just started.
NOTE!
If a leak occurs around the mask or if insufflation proves difficult, it is normally due to incorrect
positioning when lifting the chin or to insufficient tilting of the head.
To comply with the requirements of the hygienic system and to achieve a proper seal and accurate
measuring results, a head bag must always be used.
All trainees must use only their own face piece and head bag during training.

5. Preparation for Training
5.1 Unpacking
Place the carrying bag upside down and pull
from the Ambu MultiMan.
The carrying bag has been taken off the Ambu
MultiMan.
Separate the Ambu MultiMan. Grip the two
chest parts as shown.
Lift up the two units of the Ambu MultiMan to
separate them from the two lower units.
7English

The Ambu MultiMan separated into two sets of
two units.
Training on the Ambu MultiMan can also be
performed on the four units as a cruciform.
5.2 Mounting the head
Lift the body from the ground. Release the head
by turning it outwards in the direction of the
arrow. To control the head during disassembly
place the thumb into the opening of the skull.
Squeeze the two sides of the neck against each
other to release the pins on the neck from the
body (See the arrows) and at the same time
turn the neck into upright position.
8English

Hold the neck bushing with one hand and push
the head into position in the bushing with the
other hand until it clicks into position. Continue
in the same way with the other torsos.
Do not press the red button when fitting the
head.
5.3 Mounting of head bag and face piece
Unfold the head bag and hold it as shown.
Fold the head bag as shown.
Fold the head bag as shown.

Put the face piece into position by pressing on
the area around the nose. Button left ear onto
the skull. Proceed in the same way with the
right ear.
