Category: Prestan CPR Manikins

Prestan CPR manikins are great, and most of the manikins themselves are manufactured right here in Ohio, USA. We love to post articles about Prestan because of how much we love the manikins, but also since they are great people to work with. 

Many of the recent articles include information about CPR feedback, and which Prestan training manikins are compliant with the 2015 ECC/AHA standards. Most of them are compliant and are approved for use in both American Heart Association as well as American Red Cross layperson and professional rescuer training courses. The Pro series with rate monitor option includes the CPR feedback required by both the AHA and ARC.

Manikin manufacturer responds to CPR market

Earlier this month we learned of Prestan discontinuing light skin tone CPR manikins. This decision includes adult, child, infant, single and 4 packs, collections, family packs and jaw-thrust manikins. Some light skin tone products will be available for a limited time.

Prestan’s decision to nix the light models is based on the greater popularity of medium and dark manikins, which look more realistic and are easier to keep clean. The change comes at a time when many CPR instructors are preparing for the 2019 AHA compliance updates.

Each week we field calls from people who are new CPR instructors or want to become one.

Early days of CPR training.
Guy Knickerbocker and Jim Jude worked to make CPR’s lifesaving basics available to people around the world.

In 1960 when cardiopulmonary resuscitation was first developed, the American Heart Association started a program to acquaint physicians with close-chest cardiac resuscitation and became the forerunner of CPR training for the general public.

Today there are thousands of CPR instructors across the United States and each year more and more people are being trained as instructors.
Each week we field calls from people who are new CPR instructors or want to become one.With our customer needs in mind we have created a  New Instructor Checklist (included in this blog post) to help alleviate some of the work of going into business for yourself. MCR Medical has created CPR Training kits that include manikins, AED trainers and other items for new instructors.
