Nasco’s warranty and endangering
your equipment. Nasco assumes no
liability for damage or injury that may
be caused by the use and/or misuse
of this equipment. All normal safety
precautions for defibrillation training
should be followed and energy levels
should be minimized. Nasco did not
design nor intend this Defibrillation
Chest Skin to be used as anything
other than a training apparatus for
defibrillation.
Connecting Your Arrhythmia or
Patient Simulator:
Nasco has designed the
CR
i
S
is
™
System to be compatible with a vari-
ety of patient simulators. This is pos-
sible via the standard four-lead snap
cable.
(See figure 33.)
If your patient
simulator has only two output posts,
the red and black leads must be con-
nected to the patient simulator.
You may want to connect the manikin
to the simulator that came with your
defibrillator. If your patient simula-
tor doesn’t have the standard snap
connectors, it will be necessary to
purchase the corresponding adapt-
ers from Nasco. To order, please see
“Supplies/Replacement Parts” on
page 15.

About the Simulator…
The

is

System Defibrillation
Chest Skin has been designed to
absorb a maximum of 360 joules of
energy*. Although capable of absorb-
ing 360 joules, we do recommend that
the smallest energy level possible be
used while training with the skin.
The
CR
i
S

™
System Defibrillation
Chest Skin will enable you to practice
defibrillation using manual, semi-auto-
matic, and automatic external defibril-
lators (AEDs). When using any one
of these in training, always follow the
recommended operating procedures
for that particular defibrillator.
The “Airway Larry” Manikin comes
with the Defibrillation Chest Skin in
place and ready for use.
NOTE:
360 joules is the maximum
energy level that Nasco recommends
administering to the Defibrillation
Chest Skin. Energy levels in excess
of 360 joules may cause irreparable
damage to the chest skin, circuitry,
and patient simulator being used —
