BIX/CPR280 Guide: Full-Body CPR Manikin with Pulse Simulation and LCD Feedback

Short answer: The BIX/CPR280 is a full-body adult CPR training manikin priced at USD 441.88. It gives two kinds of feedback at once — a tri-colour light that shows immediately whether each compression and breath is inside the target range, and an LCD counter that tallies correct and incorrect actions — and it adds carotid pulse simulation and pupil response for realism.

Key takeaways

  • Tri-colour light feedback: green inside the target zone, yellow too shallow, red too deep
  • Compression depth zone set at 5–6 cm; ventilation 500/600 ml to 1,000 ml
  • LCD digital counter for correct and incorrect compressions and breaths
  • 30:2 compression-to-ventilation ratio, ~100 compressions/min, 100% hand-position compression
  • Carotid pulse simulation and pupil examination (mydriasis and miosis)
  • Three operating modes: exercise, examine and self-defined; timing in seconds; sound on/off with volume control
  • ISO 13485 and CE listed on the product page

How the feedback works

The manikin does not just record a score — it signals in real time. During compressions, a dynamic light shows the depth: green for the 5–6 cm zone, yellow below 5 cm and red above 6 cm, with a digital counter of correct and wrong compressions and an audible prompt explaining the error. The same logic applies to artificial respiration, where the light follows the delivered volume from 500/600 ml up to 1,000 ml. The pupil responds (mydriasis/miosis) and a carotid pulse can be felt, so students also practise the reassessment steps rather than only the mechanics.

Evidence: why real-time feedback is the point

Feedback changes performance, and the effect has been measured. A cluster-randomised controlled trial in 642 laypeople found that training with a real-time visual feedback device produced significantly better chest-compression quality than standard training [1], and comparative work on CPR feedback devices versus standard BLS has reported measurable improvements in depth and rate compliance [2]. This matters because the targets are narrow: the American Heart Association's published adult CPR targets are a compression depth of 5–6 cm, a rate of 100–120 per minute and a 30:2 ratio with one rescuer [3], and learners routinely fall outside them without an indicator to correct against. On the CPR280, that indicator is the tri-colour light, which is why the manikin suits both teaching and assessed practice.

Who it is for

  • Nursing and medical schools running BLS/CPR practicals with assessment
  • First-aid and workplace-safety training centres that need documented, repeatable practice
  • Emergency-department and ICU in-service training
  • Distributors building a CPR training kit at a mid-market price point

Care and honest notes

Treat the face, cervical and chest skins as replaceable wear parts and keep the light and LCD units dry. Two points worth confirming before you order: the product page cites the AHA guideline for CPR and ECC (it references the 2005 edition), while the feedback thresholds it implements — 5–6 cm depth, ~100/min, 30:2 — remain the core adult targets in the current guidance [3], so ask the supplier which edition the documentation states; and the page does not publish a package size or gross weight, so request the shipping dimensions if you are budgeting freight.

FAQ

Q1. What feedback does the BIX/CPR280 give?
A tri-colour dynamic light for compression depth (green 5–6 cm, yellow too shallow, red too deep) and ventilation volume, plus an LCD digital counter of correct and incorrect actions and an audible error prompt.

Q2. Does it simulate a pulse and pupils?
Yes — carotid pulse simulation (including during compressions) and pupil examination with mydriasis and miosis.

Q3. What ratio and rate does it train?
A 30:2 compression-to-ventilation ratio for one or two rescuers, at approximately 100 compressions per minute, with a cycle defined as five sets of 30:2.

Q4. How much does it cost?
The product page lists USD 441.88. Confirm the final price, packing and freight with the supplier for your order quantity.

Q5. Is it suitable for certification-style assessment?
It has an "examine" mode alongside exercise and self-defined modes, with timing and counters — suitable for assessed practice. Confirm any specific certification requirement with your awarding body.

Q6. How do I get a quotation?
