First Time Owning a PRESTAN® Manikin?

Common Questions & Helpful Tips and Tricks

Manikins made by PRESTAN are the practical choice for those who are passionate about saving lives. PRESTAN’s ability to balance function and price is one of the many reasons why here at MCR Medical, we carry PRESTAN Manikins exclusively.

If this is your first time owning a PRESTAN manikin, you may have some questions upon receiving your manikin(s):

“Where are the feedback devices in the manikin?”

“Why do I not hear the ‘clicking’ sound while performing compressions?”

“Why are the red lights on my manikin’s CPR rate monitor blinking?”

“Why is there a rattling in the chest of the manikin?”

“Why do my lung bags have holes in them?”

90 Seconds Can Save Your Life

Hands-Only CPR — Anyone can do it. Everyone should!

 

Each year, more than 350,000 EMS-assessed out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the U.S. When a person has a cardiac arrest, survival depends on immediately receiving CPR from someone nearby.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) and Your Prestan Manikins

With everything going on, we want to address a question we have been receiving quite often.

HOW DO I CLEAN MY MANIKIN TO BE UP TO STANDARDS WITH COVID-19?

Prestan Products always recommends cleaning your CPR manikins thoroughly after each class. Along with cleaning the outside torso and face, you want to make sure you are opening the manikin and wiping the chest foam and skin to sanitize the inside as well. You can use a mixture of soap and water to clean the manikin effectively. If the area is extremely dirty, you can also use common household cleaners such as Formula 409, Windex, or Vim. Clorox or Lysol wipes can also be gently applied to clean them if needed.

Prestan Has a Product Update!

Now Presenting…

Prestan Adult Manikins with NOSE HOLES! The Prestan Professional Series manikins will now have life-like nose holes on the face skin. This feature was put into effect on October 3rd and will now be on all new Prestan Adult Manikins (PP-AM-100M-MS). If you for some reason need a replacement face skin, you will receive an updated version with the new nose holes. You can view the new product update in the picture below!

Product Update, Prestan
NEW Adult Manikin Nostrils

Please Note…

The new nose holes on the manikin’s face skin are for visual purposes only. This means that they are not fully functioning – air will not flow through the nose holes into the lung bags! They are meant to stimulate a realistic nose pinch and enhance the overall look of the manikin. Prestan is working hard to make their CPR Manikins as realistic as possible for their customer, and we are super excited about the updates they are making!
