Mannequin Cleaning

Recommendations for Decontamination

Decontamination Procedures
All mannequins should be decontaminated at the end of each training session. If more than one student is using a mannequin, the appropriate steps should be taken to clean the mannequin between students.

Please consult with your local CPR agency (Heart & Stroke Foundation, Red Cross, St. John Ambulance) for more information on mannequin decontamination.

All Instructors should be available after the course to assist with the cleaning of the mannequins used in the course. Protective gloves should be worn during the disassembly and decontamination procedures. The guidelines for decontamination of mannequins as outlined by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada should be followed.
