5 Must-Know Features of the Little Anne QCPR Stackable CPR Manikins
The latest Little Annes are designed with maximum efficiency in mind.
If you're a busy CPR instructor, you rely on your CPR manikins to help you empower your learners with the high-quality CPR skills and confidence they'll need to save a life. And, you’re likely always looking for ways to maximize efficiency and save a little time throughout your day.
The new Laerdal Little Anne QCPR Stackable manikins can streamline your CPR training efforts. With a lightweight, stackable design and simplified, tool-less maintenance for its airway system, Little Anne QCPR Stackable can help you run your courses more efficiently.
Below, we explore 5 must-know features of the newest member of the Little Anne family.
1. They include QCPR feedback.
You likely know the importance of using CPR manikins with feedback to measure the key parameters of high-quality CPR. The Little Anne QCPR Stackable manikins use the same Quality CPR (QCPR) technology as the original Little Anne QCPR. Real-time and summative feedback (including an overall score) helps ensure your learners are mastering the key parameters of high-quality CPR, including:
Compression depth and rate
Recoil
Chest compression fraction
Ventilation rate/volume
Compatible CPR feedback device options for Little Anne QCPR Stackable include:
QCPR App
A free download for iOS and Android. The app connects to the manikin via Bluetooth and allows you to monitor multiple students simultaneously.
SkillGuide
provides a tethered CPR feedback device option
2. They're as durable as the previous generations of Little Anne CPR manikins.
In the 30 years since its launch, the legacy Little Anne manikin has built a reputation for being a trusted investment that pays off through years of reliable use.
"Little Annes are heavy duty, and they last. My first manikins are 16 years old and still in service," says Gail Klanchesser, Owner and TCC at Coastal CPR and First Aid, LLC in Hampton, New Hampshire.
You might be looking at the new lightweight design of the new Little Anne QCPR Stackable and wondering how well it can hold up compared to the previous Little Anne.
But while these new CPR manikins have shed some weight, they haven't lost any of their trusted durability. Little Anne QCPR Stackable manikins have been tested and held to the same rigorous standards as the previous versions of the Little Anne. This means they've been confirmed to last through at least several hundred thousand compressions.
You can rest assured that the Little Anne QCPR Stackable manikins will be with you for as long as your previous Little Annes have.
3. They're kinder to the environment.
Laerdal has an organizational goal towards carbon neutrality and more circular solutions. The Little Anne QCPR Stackable has been designed with that goal in mind:
-68%
CO2 Emissionen
Im Vergleich zur vorherigen Generation der Little Anne
60%
Recycelter Inhalt
Alle Teile aus Polypropylen-Kunststoff (PP) enthalten mindestens 60 % recyceltes PP
And, the new hygienic, single-use filter reduces the need to replace the lungs as often – which improves sustainability to boot.
By choosing Little Anne QCPR Stackable to support your training efforts, you can also feel good that you’re supporting sustainability efforts.
4. Their airway system is more convenient
and cost-effective.
As we mentioned above, the Little Anne QCPR Stackable features a single-use filter. The highly effective 2-way filtration of 99.9% accuracy eliminates the need to replace the lungs after every class, like in the past. Simply snap the filter into place and you’re ready to go.
The manikin's lungs are made to last 50,000 compressions or 3 to 6 months. They only need to be changed at that frequency (or if they break).
This new airway setup will translate to major savings – both in cost and your time.
5. They're part of a complete training ecosystem.
Little Anne QCPR Stackable CPR manikins are just one component of an all-in-one classroom solution that includes the newly revamped QCPR app and new AED Trainer.
The manikins and AED Trainers connect to the QCPR app, allowing you to get feedback and control everything seamlessly from within the app. This cohesive training setup will empower you to teach high-quality CPR with greater ease and efficiency. Check out the video above to see how the elements work together.
Ultimately, this classroom solution will make it easier for you to successfully place more trained, confident lifesavers into your community.
