Educational-use note: training manikin — educational equipment, not a medical device or a pharmaceutical product (manufacturer's page notice). The CPR100C is the basic-configuration unit of the CPR100 series; compression depth/rate indication, counters and packaging accessories differ between configurations (the CPR100A adds electronic LED feedback). Confirm the exact configuration in the official specification sheet — request it by email.
Every CPR program faces the same equation: students × repetitions per student = training capacity. Certification standards expect each learner to complete a meaningful number of compression cycles, not to watch a demo (Meaney et al., 2013). On an electronic simulator costing several times as much, one station might enroll 20 students a day; on a simple, robust half-body manikin, the same budget can put several stations on the floor and triple the repetitions each student actually performs.
The BIX-CPR100C is engineered for that arithmetic. It is a simple half-body CPR manikin — head and torso, realistic airway, compression mechanics — with no screens, no batteries and no calibration. Its job is to deliver the highest number of realistic compression and ventilation repetitions per dollar, so that instructors focus their budget on students practicing, not on electronics.
This is not a compromise on outcome: high-quality CPR — correct depth, correct rate, full recoil, minimal interruptions — is the strongest determinant of survival (Panchal et al., 2020), and quality is built by motor repetition. For mass basic-life-support literacy (schools, factories, communities), simple manikins in quantity outperform complex manikins in scarcity.
Evidence | Finding | Implication for a Basic Manikin |
Panchal et al., 2020 (AHA 2020) | High-quality CPR is the strongest determinant of survival | Practice depth, rate, recoil from day one |
Meaney et al., 2013 (Circulation) | Depth, rate, recoil and interruptions define CPR quality | The five core metrics stay the teaching target |
Abella et al., 2005 (JAMA) | Real-arrest compressions often fall below guideline depth/rate | Instructor observation alone is unreliable |
Gilfoyle et al., 2023 (JAHA) | Real-time feedback is associated with higher-quality compressions | Where feedback is absent, structured checklists matter more |
Kramer-Johansen et al., 2006 (Resuscitation) | Automated feedback improved delivered CPR quality | Feedback aids learning — budget it where it counts |
Vadeboncoeur et al., 2014 (Resuscitation) | Deeper compressions (≥5 cm) linked to better survival | Teach and verify the 5–6 cm target relentlessly |
Reading the table: the evidence does not say "every manikin needs electronics". It says teaching must target measurable quality — and since instructor observation systematically overrates performance (Abella et al., 2005), a basic manikin works best with a structured checklist and periodic verification on an instrumented unit.
Lesson Element | How to Deliver It on the CPR100C |
Hand position | Verify against the sternum landmarks; correct every student physically |
Compression depth | Teach the 5–6 cm target manually; use rhythm drills and voice coaching |
Compression rate | Metronome or counting aloud at 100–120/min |
Recoil | Watch for full chest release between compressions |
Ventilation | Check airway positioning; watch for chest rise, avoid over-inflation |
30:2 cycles | Run full cycles, not fragments — interruptions are quality killers |
Demo + theory (10 min):
1. survival chain, quality metrics, 5–6 cm / 100–120/min.
Rotations (35 min):
2. 6 stations × 5 students; each performs 2 full 30:2 cycles under the checklist.
Group drills + wrap-up (15 min):
3. metronome rounds, common-error clinic, four quality metrics from memory.
Six simple stations mean no student waits more than a few minutes to touch the manikin — the biggest predictor of skill gain in short courses.
● Hand position centered on the lower half of the sternum
● Depth consistent with the 5–6 cm target range
● Rate within 100–120/min
● Full chest recoil between compressions
● Effective ventilation with visible chest rise
● 30:2 ratio maintained with minimal interruption
Model | Form | Feedback | Role |
BIX-CPR100C | Half-body | Simple/basic configuration | High-volume basic practice at lowest cost (this guide) |
BIX-CPR100A | Half-body | Electronic LED (depth + rate lights, click cue) | Certification-grade half-body with objective feedback |
BIX-CPR100B | Half-body | Mechanical | Durable mechanical practice unit |
BIX-CPR100D | Full-body | Mechanical, electricity-free | Field training, positioning, team drills |
BIX-CPR230 | Half-body | Electronic counter + voice + pupil exam | Advanced half-body assessment |
Buying logic (station mix): equip the room with CPR100C units for mass practice, add one CPR100A per group for periodic objective scoring, and use CPR100D when full-body positioning or field deployment is required.
Item | Frequency | Notes |
Face shield / airway tube | Per student group | Replace per protocol (every 20–30 trainees) |
Chest skin | When worn | Wipe with 75% alcohol between users; replace when damaged |
Manikin body | After each session | Clean with mild detergent; keep airway dry |
Storage | Always | Cool, dry, out of direct sun; avoid heavy stacking |
Q1: What does "simple" mean for the CPR100C? A: It is the basic-configuration half-body manikin of the CPR100 series — built for core compression and ventilation practice without electronic feedback, so cost per student station is minimized.
Q2: What skills can students practice on it? A: Correct hand position, chest compressions, mouth-to-mouth ventilation with standard open-airway anatomy, and full 30:2 cycles.
Q3: How is it different from the CPR100A? A: The CPR100A adds electronic LED feedback (depth and rate lights with a click cue). The CPR100C is the simple high-volume configuration; mix both in one lab.
Q4: How many students can one unit serve? A: With replaceable face shields/airway tubes and wipedown between users, one unit serves rotating groups through a full session; order consumables per the spec sheet.
Q5: What is the MOQ and price? A: MOQ starts at 1 unit for evaluation; price is on request and drops with volume — ideal for 10+ station programs. Email sophia@adahealthy.com. for the quotation and specification sheet.
Q6: What are the delivery and service terms? A: Air freight 7–10 business days; sea freight 30–45 days. Manuals included; spare consumables available. Contact sophia@adahealthy.com. for details.
