The AHA recommends a 1:4 to 1:5 manikin-to-student ratio for BLS training (Bhanji et al., 2015). Most programs fall short not because they disagree with the ratio, but because the cost of Western-manufactured manikins makes it unaffordable.
The CPR100A at 
1,760 total**. The same ratio with Laerdal Little Anne (~3,000; with QCPR-class equipment, $30,000+.
Class Size | Units at 1:4 (recommended) | Units at 1:5 (minimum) | CPR100A Investment (1:4) |
10 students | 3 | 2 | $528 |
20 students | 5 | 4 | $880 |
30 students | 8 | 6 | $1,408 |
40 students | 10 | 8 | $1,760 |
60 students | 15 | 12 | $2,640 |
100 students | 25 | 20 | $4,400 |
The affordability argument: CPR skill quality decays within 3–6 months without practice (Bhanji et al., 2015). Programs that can afford more manikins per student train more students more often — and skill retention research shows this density directly improves certification pass rates. At $176, the 1:4 ratio becomes achievable for community colleges and developing-market programs for the first time.

Full body costs only $0–75 more —
consider if budget allows
Key upgrade note: the full-body CPR100D costs only ~$0–75 more than the CPR100A. If your budget can absorb the difference, the 100D adds positioning, recovery position, and multi-rescuer training. But for maximum unit count at minimum price — the 1:4 ratio argument — the CPR100A remains the choice.
Consumable | Per-Unit Cost | 40-Student Program | 100-Student Program |
Lung bags (20–30 trainees) | ~$4 | 60 / $240 | 150 / $600 |
Face masks (50–80 trainees) | ~$5 | 20 / $100 | 50 / $250 |
Face skin (annual, per unit) | ~$18 | 10 / $180 | 25 / $450 |
Annual consumable total | ~$520 | ~$1,300 |
Rule of thumb: budget 8–10% of purchase price per year for consumables. The CPR100A's ~10% ratio is consistent with industry norms (Issenberg et al., 2005) — and lower than electronic simulators, which run 15–25% due to sensors and calibration.
Before issuing the PO:
● Confirmed class size and target ratio (1:4 vs 1:5)
● Decision made: budget-optimal 100A vs upgrade to 100D (+$0–75/unit)
● Assessment needs confirmed (add CPR480 if certification required)
● Lung bag stock for 12 months ordered
● Face skin spares ordered (1 per unit per year)
● Table/desk space confirmed (half-body units require a surface)
● MOQ confirmed (10 units standard; samples 1–2 available)
● Shipping quoted (air 7–10 days; sea for 30+ units)
● Instructor plan confirmed (mechanical model = minimal onboarding)
● Email:cprmodel@adaanatomy.com.
for the formal quotation
Q1: Can I order fewer than the 10-unit MOQ? A: Yes — sample evaluation units (1–2) are available for institutional quality review before committing to the full order.
Q2: What shipping costs should I budget for? A: A 10-unit order ships via air freight in 7–10 business days. Sea freight is available for 30+ units. Email cprmodel@adaanatomy.com. with your country for an exact quote.
Q3: What is the difference between CPR100A and CPR100D pricing? A: CPR100A is 150–250 (full body, floor-operable). The full-body upgrade costs roughly $0–75 more and adds positioning, recovery position, and multi-rescuer training.
Q4: Do I need to buy an AED trainer separately? A: The CPR100A is compatible with AED training electrodes but does not include an AED simulator. For combined CPR + defibrillation stations, budget a standalone AED trainer ($150–300).
Q5: How long will the units last? A: The compression spring is rated for ~500,000 cycles (20+ years at typical usage). TPE skin: 5–7 years with proper care. Consumables (lung bags, masks) are the only recurring cost.
Q6: Can I bundle CPR100A with other Chinon Medical products? A: Yes — combined orders with CPR100D, CPR480, nursing manikins, or airway trainers qualify for consolidated shipping. Email cprmodel@adaanatomy.com. for a multi-product quotation.
