Evaluation Metrics
Objective, Quantitative Feedback
Lifesaving skills are assessed with advanced algorithms and technology, providing precise, objective feedback for effective preparation.
The SMART Manikin Plus goes beyond traditional CPR evaluation with first-to-market solutions for AED placement and self-directed First Aid skills including infant choking and direct pressure for the control of life-threatening bleeding.

AED Utilization
Adeptly assess the correct locations to place AED pads on both the adult and infant manikins and deliver a shock with the integrated AED software.
Ventilations (Breaths)
Correctly measure the volume, rate and count of ventilations provided. Proper head tilt is required for adequate airflow to the lungs.
Direct Pressure
Precisely evaluate the correct pressure required to stop life-threatening bleeding using a pressure sensor on the adult manikin.
Compressions
Accurately measure and assess the depth, rate, count and recoil of chest compressions with proper hand placement. An integrated metronome is available for optional assistance.
Obstructed Airway (Choking)
The infant manikin allows for physical performance of back blows and chest thrusts while assessing proper location and count. The tablet software verifies correct hand placement of back blows and abdominal thrusts for Adult Obstructed Airway.
CPR Cycles
To ensure full competency of lifesaving skills, learners must demonstrate the complete CPR cycle by combining compressions and ventilations. The manikin incorporates all the above measurements while precisely quantifying the time off chest.
