1. Intended use
SimCPR®Pro Trainer is a training tool for CPR-rescuers to optimize their CPR-skills.
Indication of use:
This device is only to be used for training chest compressions for adults (> 12 years) and for
SimCPR®-feedback simulation.
2. Description
SimCPR®Pro Trainer shows users if chest compressions are compliant with the international
CPR-guidelines on depth and rate.
When the green LED is continuously on, compression-decompression is at least 2 inches
(5cm) and rate between 100-120 bpm.
The rescuer wears the SimCPR® Pro Trainer
on the wrist of the left or right hand.
As educated, the rescuer always keeps
contact with the chest of the manikin during
compressions and does not lean on the chest
after release (decompression).
If the SimCPR®Pro Trainer is worn on the
upper hand, this hand should keep in contact
with the underlying hand. This ensures that the results of the depth measurements are
accurate.
Ensure that the wristband is tight enough around the wrist to ensure that there is no
slackness, so that the wristband exactly follows the movement of the wrist.
In case the LED lights are not clearly visible during CPR, the Trainer can also be worn on the
back of the upper hand. In this way the first responder is looking straight into the LED’s.
Feedback on CPR quality is provided by a red and green LED light. The frequency of the
flashing of the LED lights indicates the correct chest compression rate (110/min).
The red flashing LED indicates that compression-decompression movement is not enough (<
5 cm/2 inches). This means chest compressions are not deep enough and/or there is no full
recoil of the chest.
The green flashing LED indicates that compression-decompression depth is adequate (≥ 5
cm/2 inches). When the green LED is continuously on, both debt (≥ 5cm/2 inches) and
tempo (100-120bpm) are correct.
This form of simple feedback optimizes the quality of chest compressions.1

3. Functionality
According to the current scientific resuscitation guidelines (ILCOR.org), chest compressions
applied to (young) adult patients must be at least 5 cm/2 inches deep.
The rate should be between 100-120 chest compressions per minute.
As a wristband, the SimCPR® Pro Trainer registers the rescuer's up and down movements
during the chest compressions (amplitude). The built-in smart SimCPR®-accelerometer
analyses the movement and accurately calculates the distance.
As long as the distance travelled is less than 5 cm/2 inches, the red LED will keep flashing.
Once the distance travelled is at least 5 cm/2 inches, the green LED will start flashing or is
continuously on if the tempo is between 100-120bpm .
Rescuers can follow the flashing of the LED lights (110/min) in order to deliver chest
compressions at the correct rate.
4. Use
SimCPR®Pro Trainer is suitable for CPR-training on adult victims or children older than 12
years. The training device can be used on every CPR-training manikin that is able to be
compressed at least 5cm/2inches.
The rescuer wears the trainer on his/her preferred wrist, making sure that the 2 LED-lights
are clearly visible during chest compressions.
The wristband should be tight enough around the wrist to ensure that there is no slackness,
so that the wristband exactly follows the movement of the wrist.
First turn on the SimCPR®Pro Trainer by pressing the ON/OFF symbol on the sensor.
You should press the button in hard enough to hear it click.
The trainer is active once the red LED light starts flashing. The rate at which the LED light
flashes (110 light signals per minute) indicates a correct chest compression rate.
Note:
First focus on getting a correct depth and then on getting a correct tempo.
⚠ Make sure that the manikin is not placed on a soft surface.
⚠ Beware your CPR manikin can be pushed deeper than 5 cm/2 inch. If not, you
can not train according to the CPR-guidelines and the green LED will not start
flashing.

⚠ Allow the patient’s chest to come all the way back up before compressing it
again. Do not lean on the patient’s chest!
Start chest compressions on the manikin keeping
your arms straight and do not lean after coming
up (full chest recoil).
Push harder until the green LED-light starts
flashing.
When the green LED is flashing, depth is OK but
tempo is not.
When the green LED is continuously on, both
depth (≥ 5cm/2 inches) and tempo (100-120/min)
are OK.
5. Periodic battery check and replacement
The service life of the 3V lithium button cell battery is six years in standby mode or 100
active operating hours.
To save battery life, the SimCPR®Pro Trainer automatically switches off after 2 minutes of
not using it.
You can check battery capacity quickly anytime by switching the SimCPR®Pro Trainer on
and then off again. After you switch it off (by pressing the ON/OFF button for at least 3
seconds), the green or red LED will light up briefly. If the green LED lights up, there is
sufficient battery charge available. If the red LED lights up, you need to replace the battery of
the trainer with a new one.
You can also check the battery status using the SimCPR®Trainer app (see section 8).
The SimCPR®Pro Trainer is specifically suited for frequent use in CPR-courses, and comes
with a replaceable battery (CR2032). Only use lithium UL-approved batteries from e.g. Varta,
Panasonic, Sony, Philips of Duracell.

Replace the battery as follows:
1. Remove the 4 screws at the back of the trainer device (Torx 6).
2. Remove the upper red part of the housing.
3. Remove the white cover (with light guides).
4. Take out the sensor and push the battery out to the metal holder (do not dispose of the
battery with household waste but take it to a suitable waste station).
5. Insert a new 3V battery (CR2032) in the same way (+ side up).
6. Place back the sensor (this is only possible in one way) and push the battery down for
optimal LED-light effect.
7. Place back the white cover with light guides (also this is only possible in one way).
8. Place back the upper red part (fits one way) and finally put the 4 screws back.
Turn the SimCPR®Pro Trainer on and check if the LED flashes and both light guides are well
placed so you can see both LED-lights clearly. The trainer is now ready for use again.

6. Background information (de)compression
Allowing the chest to return completely to its usual position (by not continuing to lean on it) is
an important condition for effective chest compression.
⚠ Continuing to lean on the chest after it comes up, reduces the distance of the
compression!
For example, if the rescuer compresses the chest of the manikin 6 cm/2.4 inches and
continues to lean on it to a depth of 2 cm/0.8 inch, the SimCPR®Pro Trainer will register a
distance of only 4 cm/1.6 inches. This means the red LED will continue to flash.
In this situation the green LED will only go on if the rescuer stops leaning on the chest and
allows it to return all the way to its original position.
7. Troubleshooting
Problem Possible cause Solution
SimCPR®Pro Trainer
does not switch on (red
LED does not flash).
ON/OFF button has not
been pressed hard
enough.
Press the ON/OFF button firmly until
you hear a ‘click’.
Battery is flat. Replace the battery.
Device is defective. Contact your dealer.
Green LED does not flash. Your compressions are not
deep enough.
Press the manikin deeper (≥ 5 cm/2
inches).
Check the manual of the manikin to see
if it can be pushed deeper than 5
cm/2inches.
You are continuing to lean
on the manikin's chest.
Allow the mankin’s chest to come all the
way up and do not continue to lean on
it.
Device is defective. Contact your dealer.
Green LED will not go on
continuously.
Tempo of compressions is
too slow or too fast.
Push faster or slower to get a correct
tempo of 100-120/min.
8. Trainer app
The SimCPR®Trainer app is available in iOS and Android.
