The PRESTAN Series 2000 Just Got Smarter: What the New PRO+ Head Means for CPR Training

There is a familiar moment in almost every CPR classroom.

The instructor finishes a compression exercise, moves into an airway scenario, and suddenly the lesson needs another trainer—or the scenario has to stop because the CPR manikin was never designed for that next skill.

The latest update to the PRESTAN Series 2000 is designed to make that transition much smoother.

The PRO+ Head is becoming the standard head configuration on Adult and Female Series 2000 Manikins, combining the detailed CPR feedback instructors already know from the Series 2000 platform with functional oral and nasal airways for expanded emergency-care training.

Training Update PRESTAN has announced that the Adult and Female Series 2000 Manikins will incorporate the PRO+ Head as the standard configuration, expanding the airway-training capabilities of the platform.

From CPR Practice to a More Complete Patient Scenario

Imagine an EMS class working through a cardiac-arrest scenario.

Students begin compressions while the Series 2000 system tracks their performance. The PRESTAN CPR Feedback App can provide instructors and learners with valuable information about CPR technique, helping turn practice into measurable performance.

Then the instructor changes the scenario.

The simulated patient now requires airway management.

With a basic CPR manikin, the class may need to stop, move to a separate airway trainer, and begin another station. With the PRO+ Head, functional oral and nasal airways allow instructors to expand the scenario without completely changing the training platform.

Instead of teaching isolated skills, instructors can create a sequence that feels more like an evolving emergency:

Assessment → CPR → Airway Intervention → Continued Patient Care

What Exactly Is Changing?

The familiar Series 2000 platform is not being replaced. Instead, PRESTAN is expanding what instructors can accomplish with the manikin by adding more airway-training capability.

Series 2000 Feature	What It Means for Training
Advanced CPR Feedback	Supports measurable CPR practice through the PRESTAN feedback system.
Functional Oral Airway	Gives instructors additional options for oral airway training.
Functional Nasal Airway	Expands training scenarios to include nasal airway interventions.
Familiar PRESTAN Platform	Instructors can continue using the Series 2000 format they already know.
Adult & Female Configurations	Expanded airway capability is being incorporated into both Series 2000 configurations.

Why the PRO+ Head Is More Than a Cosmetic Upgrade

The most important part of the PRO+ Head is what instructors can do with the functional airway design.

The PRO+ platform supports both oral and nasal airway training, allowing instructors to introduce interventions such as OPA and NPA practice into appropriate training scenarios. The platform can also support applicable naloxone administration training exercises.

That creates opportunities to move beyond a single-skill CPR station and build a more complete emergency-care scenario around one simulated patient.

Training Insight

Real emergencies rarely separate themselves into neat classroom chapters. CPR, airway management, patient assessment, and continued care can overlap. Training equipment that supports multiple interventions can help instructors create scenarios that feel more connected.

What Stays Familiar?

For instructors already using the Series 2000 platform, one of the most important parts of this update is that the core training experience remains familiar.

The Series 2000 lineup is designed around advanced CPR feedback and app-based performance information. The PRO+ update does not turn the manikin into an entirely different training system.

Instead, it gives instructors more ways to use the same general platform.

That can be particularly valuable for programs that want equipment capable of supporting both CPR fundamentals and broader emergency-care scenarios.

Who Could Benefit Most?

Training Environment	Potential Benefit
EMS Programs	CPR and airway skills can be incorporated into the same scenario.
Healthcare Education	Students can practice a broader range of patient-care interventions.
Advanced First Aid Training	Instructors gain more flexibility when developing realistic scenarios.
Large Training Centers	Multi-purpose equipment may help streamline training stations.

A Small Change That Can Make the Classroom Bigger

The best training equipment does not necessarily make a class more complicated.

Sometimes it does the opposite.

By allowing one training platform to support detailed CPR feedback along with expanded oral and nasal airway practice, the PRO+ Head can help reduce the gap between separate skills and make scenarios feel more continuous.

The lesson is no longer simply:

“Can you perform effective CPR?”

It can evolve into:

“Can you manage the patient as the emergency changes?”

That is where simulation becomes especially valuable.

The PRESTAN Series 2000 update keeps the familiar CPR-training foundation while opening the door to broader airway scenarios—giving instructors more opportunities to help students build confidence before they ever face the real thing.
