A New Standard for  "Feel'n Real"  CPR Training Manikins

                              FEEDBACK FROM "HANDS-ON" BETA TESTS

HCR has completed extensive beta testing of the HCR HCS-100 device with EMS personnel, fire fighters, AHA training centers Red Cross Chapter trainers and the local Pima Community College EMS training program and consistently received very positive feedback, including:

Fire Department Medical Director:

"Gentlemen, that's just how it should feel. I think you guys have a winner here."

Training Directors and Personnel:

"Compression force and pneumatic rebound feel quite accurate."

"It usually requires multiple compressions to crack through the ribs in a victim; the device does a good job simulating that."

"...would upgrade today if available."

"...the depth clicker is a great feature",  as few trainees go deep enough.

"The audio player that plays the tune STAYING ALIVE is a great feature to teach the proper Rate of Compressions in an emergency, especially since it can be deactivated in a training"

"The retail pricing of around $275 - $300 would be very justifiable"

                                             WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY:

The University of Arizona (UA) Sarver Heart Center

The center has for years championed the "Hands-Only" chest compression method.  Their Arizona statewide study claimed a 300% greater success rate verus standard CPR

The AZ Department of Health Services' Bureau of Emergency Medical Services and Trauma System 

Dr. Ben Bobrow, Director, "Doing CPR is a very complex motor skill; what it really comes down to is the quality of the chest compressions".

National Institute of Health  (NIH)

NIH found that rib fractures had occurred in 94% of the patients in their sample study and that fractures associated with CPR are under-reported in conventional investigations

American Heart Association  (AHA) 

Dr Michael Sayre, AHA spokesperson, "broken ribs are to be expected when doing CPR"
