AR70/AR70-B DIGITAL CRICOID PRESSURE TRAINER® Instruction Manual
Open the catalog to page 1Thank you for purchasing this AR70 Digital Cricoid Pressure Trainer®. This model was designed by Dr Osman Abdelatti, Consultant Anaesthetist. The Cricoid Pressure Trainer® has been developed to help facilitate training in the application of the correct amount of cricoid pressure (or Sellick Manoeuvre) which is routinely used during emergency and obstetric anaesthesia and ventilation. Studies have shown that 95% of clinicians were unable to identify the correct amount of force required to occlude the oesophagus and that 87% were incapable of applying the correct amount of force. The Cricoid...
Open the catalog to page 2Safety and Precautions The trainer contains sensitive electronic parts. Do not store near heat or where it may experience extremes in temperature, humidity or magnetic fields. Use only the low-voltage power mains adaptor supplied. Use of other adaptors may damage the simulator, and invalidate your guarantee. Use only 6x AA batteries (not included) in the battery compartment as indicated. Do not attempt to use any other type or size of battery. Other battery sizes may damage the simulator, and invalidate your guarantee. Do not use the adaptor if the low voltage cable is damaged. The cable...

Open the catalog to page 5Using the Included Power Adaptor Ensure the work area is clean and dry. Place the trainer on a stable, flat surface. Before first use select the appropriate plug fixing for your local mains supply from those included. Insert the plug fixing into the adaptor with the large catch at the base of the adaptor. Align the small rectangular groove on the top of the fixing and press this into the adaptor so that it clicks into the spring lug. Plug the low voltage cable from the adaptor into the power jack at the rear of the simulator. The simulator is now ready for use. Using Battery Power...
Open the catalog to page 7Using the Skin Coverings or Internal Anatomy The skin coverings enhance blind training and allow for more realistic simulation, whilst the translucent skin or anatomy on its own enhances anatomical understanding. The simulator self-calibrates every time it powers on. We recommend swapping skins before powering on the simulator, or switching it off before swapping to another skin or using the anatomy on its own. With the trainer switched off, grip both sides of the skin covering and lift gently away from the internal anatomy. If the simulator is to be used without a skin covering, it may now...
Open the catalog to page 9This simulator is designed to facilitate training in the application of cricoid pressure. The procedures demonstrated in this manual serve as a guide only. Local policies will determine the correct way of performing the procedure. Instant Readout During Cricoid Pressure Application 5a With the simulator powered on, whenever cricoid pressure is applied the display will give an instantaneous readout of the force being applied. Force applied is displayed numerically in Newtons (N) by default and clockwise in colour coded dot increments: See 6a for changing the numerical to Kilograms (Kg)...
Open the catalog to page 11Timer/Feedback Mode The Timer/Feedback mode records one complete procedure and the amount of time the correct cricoid pressure was held for. This is presented in a graph when cricoid pressure is released, for instant debriefing and analysis. With the simulator powered on and before application of cricoid pressure, press the timer button to activate Timer/Feedback Mode. The timer and clock symbols are displayed as shown and application of cricoid pressure can start. Cricoid pressure is indicated immediately. Timing starts only when the correct cricoid pressure is maintained in the green...
Open the catalog to page 13Exam Mode The Exam Mode temporarily hides the instant pressure readout to allow for enhanced training as proficiency in the procedure is gained. It is particularly effective for blind training when used with the Timer/Feedback Mode, since the feedback graph will still display at the end of the procedure. With the simulator powered on, at any point before or during a procedure, press and hold the N/Kg button to activate Exam Mode. When activated, the default cricoid pressure readout screen is concealed by the Exam Mode symbol, as shown. briefly to deactivate Exam Mode. If cricoid pressure is...
Open the catalog to page 15Settings Menu The simulator has a number of settings which can be altered. To access the Settings Menu: With the simulator powered on, and before application of cricoid pressure, press both the timer button The settings main menu will display as shown. Use the N/Kg button To exit the settings menu return to the main menu and wait for a brief moment the simulator will return to the default cricoid pressure readout screen. The display brightness can be adjusted as required. Increasing backlight display brightness will increase power consumption, which could affect battery performance when...
Open the catalog to page 17The minimum pressure indicated in the green “safe” zone on the display can be adjusted. Settings are displayed in either Newtons (N) or Kilograms (Kg) as selected using the N/Kg button. See 6a for details. The safe minimum can be adjusted from 5.0N (0.509kg) to 80.0N (8kg) Press the power button to confirm the value and return to the settings main menu. Factory setting: 25.0N (2.5kg) The maximum pressure indicated in the green “safe” zone on the display can be adjusted. Settings are displayed in either Newtons (N) or Kilograms (Kg) as selected using the N/Kg button. See 6a for details. The...
