About the Simulator
The Child CRiSis™ Starter Torso is part of a completely modular
system that lets you create a manikin to suit your needs. It is
ideal for ACLS, nursing, paramedic, and EMT training. The torso
features a completely functional CPR manikin of an eight-year-
old child with Life/form® Airway Management Trainer and
Defibrillation Chest Skin.
The Child CRiSis™ Starter Torso allows you to simulate
resuscitation and practice airway management skills including
intubation and suction; and perform defibrillation and CPR.
The Child Airway Management Trainer Head is the most
realistic simulator available for the training of intubation and
resuscitation skills. Nasco has taken great care to create a
trainer that is anatomically correct in respect to both size and
detail. Landmarks include nostrils, teeth, tongue, oral and nasal
pharynx, larynx, epiglottis, arytenoids, false and true vocal cords,
cricoid ring, tracheal rings, trachea, esophagus, lungs, and
stomach.
The Child Airway Management Trainer Head allows you to
practice oral, digital, and nasal intubation, as well as CPR.
Suction techniques can also be performed and evaluated. The
simulator was designed to use an uncuffed endotracheal tube
measuring up to 5.0 mm I.D.
The Child Defibrillation Chest Skin has been designed for the
Child CRiSis™ manikin to enable you, the customer, to safely
practice defibrillation. The Child Defibrillation Chest Skin has
been designed to absorb a maximum of 360 joules of energy*.
Although capable of absorbing 360 joules, we recommend that
the smallest energy level possible be used while training with
the skin.
The Child Defibrillation Chest Skin will enable you to practice
defibrillation using manual, semiautomatic, and automatic
external defibrillators (AEDs). When using any one of these types
of defibrillators in training, always follow the recommended
operating procedures for that particular defibrillator.

List of Components
• Child Airway Management
• Trainer Head
• Right and Left Lung Simulators
• Stomach Simulator
• 4-oz. Can Aerosol Lubricant
• Nasco Cleaner
• 3 Nylon Hose Clamps

*Note: 360 joules is the maximum energy level that Nasco
recommends administering to the defibrillation chest skin.
Energy levels in excess of 360 joules may cause irreparable
damage to the chest skin, circuitry, and patient simulator being
used — thus voiding Nasco’s warranty and endangering your
equipment. Nasco assumes no liability for damage or injury that
may be caused by the use and/or misuse of this equipment. All
normal safety precautions for defibrillation training should be
followed, and energy levels should be minimized.
NASCO HEALTHCARE did not design nor intend this
defibrillation chest skin to be used as anything other than a
training apparatus for defibrillation.

Lubrication
Before using the Child
Airway Management
Trainer, lubricate both
the oral cavity and the
endotracheal tube with
the Nasco lubricant
provided. (See figure 1.)
Note: NASCO HEALTHCARE recommends the use of the pro-
vided lubricant or a similar vegetable-based lubricant for the
Child Trainer. The use of a silicone-based or similar lubricant
may seriously damage the simulator, thus voiding Nasco Health-
care’s warranty on the trainer.
Cleaning the Face
Normal soil can be removed from the face with mild soapy
water. Nasco Cleaner (LF09919) will remove stubborn stains.
Simply apply Nasco Cleaner to soiled area and wipe clean
with a soft cloth or paper towel.
Note: Avoid using cleaner around mouth area if students will be
applying direct mouth-to-mouth resuscitation techniques, as
the cleaner may be toxic if ingested. NEVER place the trainer on
any kind of printed paper or plastic. These materials, as well as
ball-point pens, will transfer indelible stains.
Do not use any cosmetics.
Connecting Your Patient Simulator
Connect the four lead snap cable to your patient simulator.
Nasco has designed the Child CRiSis™ System to be compatible
with a variety of patient simulators. This is possible via the stan-
dard four lead snap cable. (See figure 2.) If your patient simula-
tor has only two output posts, the red and black leads must be
connected to the patient simulator.
If you want to connect the manikin to the simulator that came
with your defibrillator, it is necessary to purchase the
corresponding adapters from Nasco separately, if the patient

simulator doesn’t have the standard snap connectors. (Please
see accessories at the end of this section).
Once your manikin is connected to your patient simulator,
you will be able to pick up the ECG waves either through
the monitor hook-ups on the skin or through the two disks
attached to the skin on the defibrillation sites.
These disks will enable you to pick up the ECG waves using
either the “Quick Look” paddle option or directly through gel
pads, just like on a realpatient.
It is possible to use AED gel pads with the cable connectors
built into the gel — the same ones you use on patients.
In an effort to help you save money, Nasco offers a set of
training buttons that will correspond to your particular AED
unit. These buttons are sold separately, and can be used over
and over again. They come as a set with the patient
simulator adapters.

Troubleshooting

Problem
ECG wave is not being picked up from the manikin.
Solution
1. Check your connections on the patient simulator; one or more
may be disconnected.
2. Check to make sure your patient simulator is plugged in and
working properly.
Problem
ECG wave is inverted.
Solution
Recheck the position of the red and black lead snaps on the
patient simulator.
Note: If the defibrillation chest skin is not functioning or wiring
comes undone, please contact us to repair or replace the unit.
Failure to do so, or unauthorized repair, may void the warranty
or cause further harm or damage to you or your equipment.
