Clinical Features
3 - LEFT LUNG RESISTANCE
The On setting will cause a full airway obstruction on the manikin.
• Off - Normal
• On – Extreme
Off corresponds to Resistance = 0 in scenario editor.
On corresponds to Resistance = 3 in scenario editor.
4 - ALLOW STOMACH DISTENTION
Check or uncheck the box to activate stomach distention or uncheck the box to allow trapped air to exit.
5 - EXHALE CO
2
Check or uncheck the box to enable or disable CO
2
exhalation. (Requires connection to an external CO
2
reservoir)
6 - TONGUE FALLBACK
Check the box to simulate tongue fallback. Uncheck the box to disable this function. Tongue fallback symptoms will occur unless head
is tilted back or jaw thrust maneuver is applied.
Breathing Features
Warning: Do not ventilate the manikin with oxygen enriched air or flammable gasses.

• Bilateral and unilateral chest rise and fall
• Normal and abnormal breath sounds
• 5 anterior auscultation sites and 6 posterior auscultation sites
• Unilateral, bilateral and lobar breath sounds
