Cautions and warnings
- There are electronic components mounted inside the manikin’s
airway management head. The following techniques should not
be performed on this manikin 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.
- 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 over-
heating.
- 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.

Introduction
The Resusci Anne Advanced SkillTrainer offers high quality, yet
relatively low cost, advanced skills training. The combination of the
remote control and PC SkillReporting software allows comprehensive
instructor-to-student debriefing and documentation of key events.
Additionally, first aid and extrication practice can be incorporated
into the learning by adding the optional first aid and rescue limbs.
Each Resusci Anne Advanced SkillTrainer manikin simulates
a female adult of average physiology, and is designed to meeting
the core learning objectives of those individuals training in all areas
of intermediate to advanced healthcare to include CPR, defibrillation,
IV therapy and basic to intermediate (supraglottic) airway management
procedures.

Airway Head
1. Head Tilt and Chin lift: Head tilt and chin lift can be performed
on the head.
2. Jaw Thrust: The jaw thrust maneuver can be performed on
the head.
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 head.
The following techniques should not be performed on this manikin
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. Pupils: The manikin 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.
5. Cricoid Cartilage: A realistic cricoid cartilage is attached to the
airway underneath the face skin allowing the technique of cricoid
pressure to be performed.
6. Carotid pulses: When the manikin 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.
7. Lung: The manikin is equipped with one disposable lung that

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.
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 manikin is turned on.

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 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 manikin 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 as shown in figure 30.
2. Detach the top of the face skin and fold back until the eyes are
exposed as shown in figure 31.
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 as shown in figure 31.
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 manikin’s torso perform the following:
1. Detach the manikin’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 as shown in figure 32.
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.
