Frequently asked questions
What is QCPR on Laerdal manikins?
QCPR is Laerdal's feedback system. The manikin connects over Bluetooth to an app that shows compression depth, rate and chest recoil in real time, so learners and instructors can measure and improve technique during a session.
What is the difference between Little Anne, Little Junior and Little Baby?
They cover the three age groups in CPR training: Little Anne is the adult manikin, Little Junior is the child manikin and Little Baby is the infant manikin. Each reflects the body size and compression technique for that age group, and all offer QCPR feedback.
What is Resusci Anne?
Resusci Anne is Laerdal's full-body adult manikin for more advanced and clinical training. It offers greater anatomical realism than the Little Anne range and is widely used in healthcare and life support settings.
Is the Mini Anne a good budget option?
Yes. The inflatable Mini Anne is a low-cost, portable way to get large groups practising, which suits schools, community awareness days and self-training. For durable, repeated classroom use, a Little Anne or Resusci Anne is the better long-term choice.
Can I upgrade an older Laerdal manikin to QCPR?
In many cases yes. Laerdal offers QCPR upgrade kits for certain manikins, so you can add live feedback to equipment you already own rather than buying new.
What consumables do Laerdal manikins use?
Laerdal manikins use replaceable airways and face skins, with fresh airways kept per learner for hygiene. Clickers, faces and other spare parts are available so manikins can be serviced and refreshed over time.
Where can I buy Laerdal products in Australia?
LivCor stocks the Laerdal range in Australia, including the Little Anne and QCPR manikins, Resusci Anne, Mini Anne and their consumables, with local support and bulk pricing for training organisations.
