instrument or tube into the airway. Additionally,
instruments and tubes should also be lubricated
prior to use.
4. Pupils: The Airway Trainer has normal pupils
mounted in the head. A separate case contains
three sets of plastic eye inserts (normal,
constricted and dilated pupils) for use in
simulating other conditions.
5. 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.
6. Lung: The Airway Trainer is equipped with one
disposable unilateral lung that attaches to the
airway.
7. Stomach: The Airway Trainer is equipped with
a stomach and pressure valve system that
allows stomach distension at inspiratory
pressures of more than 25 cmH2O.
To deflate, press gently on the stomach.
Maintenance
Preventive maintenance is the best method of
ensuring long and trouble free operation. A gene-
ral inspection should be conducted at regular
intervals.
Periodic cleaning
Periodically wash all skin parts that are not regu-
larly 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 diffi-
cult 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.
Changing the pupils
1. Remove the hair from the 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 Trainer head
to the Resusci Anne manikin
1. Detach the mouth-to-mouth head of your
Resusci Anne manikin.
- Detach the chest skin
- Detach the lung and its tubing from
the compression plate
- Pull expiration tube from its retainer in
the manikin’s torso
- Rotate the head 180º (face turned backwards)
and pull it away from the torso
2. Position the new Airway Trainer head, airway
and cables, into the torso’s head opening with
the head in the 180º (face turned backwards)
downward position.
3. Insert the airway and cables through
the opening.
4. Press the head firmly towards torso, making
sure the anchoring tab is sufficiently inserted
to the opening.
5. Twist the head into the upright, or proper,
position.
6. Attach esophagus to the stomach by
connecting the stomach valve to
the esophagus.

Introduction
The Resusci Anne Airway Trainer allows the user
to upgrade their existing Resusci Anne manikin’s
mouth-to-mouth head with this airway manage-
ment head.These Airway Trainer heads provide
the user with the ability to train basic and inter-
mediate airway techniques for healthcare provi-
ders.
Cautions and Warnings
The following techniques should not be perfor-
med on the Airway Trainer due to the inability to
properly sanitize the airway if they are perfor-
med:
Note:The Resusci Anne Airway Trainer SkillReporter
model includes electronics for reporting the head
tilt/chin lift and jaw thrust maneuver.
Therefore, it is especially important to follow these
cautions and warnings.
1. Mouth-to-mouth/Mouth-to-mask ventilation
2. Insertion of simulated vomit for suctioning
Lubricate the oral and nasal airways with the
lubricant provided prior to inserting any instru-
ment or tube into the airway. Additionally, instru-
ments and tubes should also be lubricated prior
to use.
Do not allow the skin to come in direct contact
with ink or photocopied paper, as this can perm-
anently stain the skin. Avoid using colored plastic
gloves when handling the manikin, as they may
also cause discoloration.
Cleaning
Do not use alcohols to clean the latex pads.
Use water only.

7. Attach the airway to the lung by connecting
the corrugated airway tubing to the plastic
connector.

8. Follow instructions 1-7 above
9. In addition, be sure to connect the cable for
registering head tilt/chin lift and jaw thrust
maneuvers. This cable should be attached in
the same connector that the mouth-to-mouth
head is detached from when changing to the
Airway Trainer head.
Changing the lung
1. Detach the chest skin.
2. Detach the lung tubing from the plastic
connector.
3. Pull the lung off the lung plate.
4. Place a new lung onto the lung plate and
attach to the plastic connector.
5. Reattach the chest skin.
Attaching the Stomach Bladder
1. Detach the chest skin.
2. Lift the soft stomach away from
the lower torso.
3. Position the stomach bladder by laying it over
the top of the soft stomach. Slide the
anchoring tabs of the stomach bladder over
the “feet” of the soft stomach until it fits
securely.
4. Attach the tubing.
5. Reattach the chest skin.
Note:The Resusci Anne Airway Trainer comes with a
simulated stomach allowing for stomach distention
when ventilation is too fast or volumes exceed the
recommended levels. This stomach is developed to
work with the Resusci Anne Modular System
models. If using an older style Resusci Anne manikin
you may only be able to position the stomach loose-
ly in the lower section of the manikin’s torso. If this
is the case, be sure that it does not come in contact
with the chest compression plate so that proper
chest compressions can be performed.
Changing the Stomach Bladder
1. Detach the chest skin.
2. Lift the soft stomach away from the lower
torso.Take away the stomach bladder
by detaching it from the “feet” of the soft
stomach.
3. Detach the tubing from stomach valve.
4. Attach the new stomach bladder by
positioning it over the top of the soft stomach.
Slide the anchoring tabs of the stomach
bladder over the “feet” of the soft stomach
until it fits securely.
5. Attach the tubing to the valve.
6. Reattach the chest skin
