All of the Adult CRiSis™ Manikins
are Complete Resuscitation Systems
with five stations allowing you to
practice different scenarios. Each
manikin consists of a full body CPR
manikin, IV Arm, Blood Pressure Arm,
Defibrillation Chest Skin, and features
the Airway Larry Airway Management
Head. Ideal for ACLS, paramedic,
EMT, and nursing training at every
level. Modular components allow
you to create a manikin to suit your
needs.

This manual will guide you in set­ting up, using, and maintaining each
of the available components. Each
section also includes a list of replace­ment parts, supplies, and auxiliary
equipment.

By reading and following all instruc­tions carefully and completely, you
can be sure your

Life/form

®

CRiSis™

Manikin will provide years of valuable
service.

IDENTIFYING YOUR MODEL

Pages 5-10 display the Adult CRiSis™
family of simulators. Identify your

®

model and refer to the Operation
Section pertaining to your model.

This guide has been carefully written
to guide you in the operation of your
unit. Depending on your model, please
read the procedure(s) indicated. All
models follow procedure A. Check
your model description to see if proce­dures B, C, D, E, or F pertain to your
model

Cleaning:

Normal surface soil can be removed
from the trainer with mild soapy water.
Do not allow water to contact electri­cal components. Stubborn stains
may be removed with REN Cleaner
(W09919U). Simply apply the REN
Cleaner to the soiled area and wipe
clean with a soft cloth.

NOTE: Avoid using cleaner around the
mouth area if students will be apply­ing direct mouth-to-mouth resuscita­tion techniques, as the cleaner may
be toxic if ingested. NEVER place the
trainer on any kind of printed paper
or plastic. These materials, as well as
ballpoint pens, will transfer indelible
stains. Do not use any cosmetics.

Nasco Life/form

“Airway Larry”

Airway Management Head

About the Simulator…

The

Life/form

®

“Airway Larry” Airway
Management Trainer is the most
realistic simulator available for the
training of intubation and other airway
management skills.

Nasco has taken great care to cre­ate an airway management trainer
that is anatomically correct in respect
to both size and detail. Landmarks
include: nostrils, teeth, tongue, oral
and nasal pharynx, larynx, cricoid
ring, epiglottis, arytenoid, false and
true cords, trachea, esophagus,
“Airway Larry” lung set, and stomach.

Nasco’s “Airway Larry” allows you
to practice oral, digital, and nasal
intubation. E.T., E.O.A., PTL

®

, and

Combitube

®

insertion can all be prac­ticed as well (please see “Using the
Combitube®”). Suction techniques and
proper cuff inflation can also be per­formed and evaluated.

Lubricating the Airway Trainer Head:

Lubricate both the simulator and
supplies being used with the Nasco
pump spray lubricant provided. (See

figures 1 & 2.)

Figure 1

Figure 2

NOTE: Nasco recommends the use

of the provided lubricant or a similar
vegetable-based lubricant for the
Airway Management Trainer head.
The use of a silicone-based lubricant
may cause damage to the simulator,
thus voiding Nasco’s warranty on the
trainer.

Set Up:
A. Connecting the Airway

1. The manikin’s airway has been
disconnected to prevent damage
during shipping. To connect the
airway, remove the chest skin,
chest plate, compression springs,
and upper compression plate.

NOTE: Caution must be taken not to
damage the defibrillation electron­ics attached to the chest skin when
removing the skin from the manikin.

Procedure A

12

Figure 3

2. Remove the lung bags from
the upper compression plate.
Connect the right and left lung
bags to the adapters in the right
and left bronchi. (See figure 3.)

B. Installing the Chest
Compression Plate

1. Remove the compression springs
from packaging. Insert the springs
into the four plastic cylinders
extending up from the lower com­pression plate. (See figure 4.)

2. Before replacing the upper com­pression plate, make sure the
lung bags are connected to the
tracheal tube extending from the
lower portion of the neck of the
Airway Management Trainer head.

Figure 4

3. Position the upper compression
plate over the springs so that
each of the springs fits up into
a cylinder on the bottom of the
upper compression plate. (See

figure 5.)

Figure 5

4. Place the lung bags through the
hole in the center of the upper
compression plate so they rest on

top of the plate. (See figure 6.)

Figure 6

5. Place the chest plate back over

the upper compression plate and
lungs.

6. Reattach the chest skin by adjust-

ing the Velcro® edges. Again, be
careful not to damage the elec­tronics attached to the chest skin.

Cleaning & Maintenance:

To clean the Airway Management
Trainer head, you will need to remove
the head from the manikin. To do so,
disconnect the lungs from the bronchi.
Then, rotate the head so that it is fac­ing backwards. The large tab on the
front of the neck should be aligned with
the keyway in the torso. Tilt the head
upward until it snaps free. Disengage
the smaller rear tabs from the neck
opening and pull the head from the
body. (See figure 7.) Reverse these
steps to reattach the head.
